Pours a clear copper color with a thin head. Aroma is of some sweet fruits, hops and a malty almost grassy lager like scent. The flavor has that nice bitter grapefruit hoppy flavor but it doesn’t bite hard, rather it’s gradual and easy going. It finishes bitter and somewhat dry but probably wetter than some other IPA’s. I can see this as a good entry level IPA. Nothing special but it’s still pretty good and I’d have it again.

Aug 20, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a shaker. This IPA poured a clear amber with a thin, short-lived beige head. Some light lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of strong citrus with some caramel sneaking in. The flavor consisted of oranges, grapefruit rind, a hint of iced tea, and some mild caramel. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Just a bit on the thin side and lacking in body. The new recipe isn’t really anything to get that excited about.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours a clear golden hue with a hint of amber with a light white head. Lacing is decent, not great. Aromas of pine, citrus and a light corn/oats/cereal odor. Mouth feel is medium bodied with a lingering finish. Flavors of the same as the aroma with a nice balance of hops and malts. Better than the original, yet still not something I will go back to.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy orange gold, white head. Aroma is hoppy (citrus, kiwi) and has bit hint of caramel. Flavor is hoppy bitter, some malty sweetness but there is a nice clean crisp finish. Decent IPA and no detection of peat. This has my IPA stamp of approval.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle from 12-pack. This one’s a looker: clear copper with sustaining white head. Smells of citrus hops (dry-hopped w/ Columbus). Tasty hop flavor, although not really all that bitter. Hops are floral and spicy as well as citrusy. Malts have their say as well. Body is medium-to-full.

Aug 14, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours clear golden orange with thick light off-white head. Aroma is light with hops and light citrus. Flavor is citrus hops, malts, citrus. Finishes bitter but doesn’t have big hop flavor you expect from an IPA. Reminds of the shitty IPAs you find in no name airport breweries.
