Aug 19, 2007 Straight from my kegerator. Bitter hops aroma with some spicy undertones. Looks perfect...auburn, slight haze, thick white head that stay for the whole pint, but isn’t soapy. The flavor is pine, citrus hops, and a hint of grapefruit with a bit of pepper. Tastes just like what I’d want out of an IPA. Goes down smooth, with only a bit of residual bitterness burn. Sessionable to a point, and so far the best beer I’ve had in my kegerator.

Jul 8, 2007 Draft at FB. Glowing orange pour, translucent body. A thin white head appears creamy and has modest retention and lacing. the aroma is very clean, full of pine, lightly toasted malt in moderation. Very green and fresh. Alcohol is undetectable. The flavor has light hints of caramel that are quickly subdued by medium bitterness, light acidity, light sweetness and soft orange notes. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated, crisp, light bodied and very quenching. Finishes dry, crisp and lively, brief but satisfying.

Jul 7, 2007 On tap at brewery in Winston-Salem. Golden orange color with with small white head and light lacing. Very hoppy of course, and a decent bit of bitterness. I agree there is a slight grapefruity taste. Did not notice much of an aroma. Decent beer overall.

May 26, 2007 Growler; from the brewery. Poured a clear, lighter amber. Medium to large white head. Aroma is floral, grassy, caramel, and hints of pine. Light body with a crisp, dry finish. Flavor of floral/citrus and biscuit/caramel malt. Easy drinking and the low alcohol level makes this a really good session type IPA.

May 25, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Big Simcoe hops give it a very herbal/citrus flavor. One of their better brews.

May 18, 2007 Cascade, Centennial, and Simcoe hops blend wonderfully in this refreshing IPA. I’ve never used Simcoe hops but I am definetely ordering some for my next batch.
