Oct 10, 2008 Bottle: Pour is very clear amber/orange/golden with a nice fluffy off white head. Aroma is strong pine with some floral character. Flavor is up front bitter hops and malt but suddenly gets a slight bit watered down in the finish. Until this moment, I really like this brew. Fresh and well blended. May drink again.

Oct 9, 2008 Pours medium amber from 12 oz bottle forming good size foamy head. Aroma of floral hops, raw malts and mango. Flavour of hoppy bitterness with particular malty sweetness. Pine resins resonate, however not overly powerful. Somewhat unrefined in the end, but drinkable.

Oct 8, 2008 Hoppy and bitter, but nothing exciting about it. I would say that it is pretty middle of the road for an ipa. Decent aroma and feels good in the mouth, but wouldn’t go after it again unless there were very few options.

Oct 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Clear, amber color with thin, light tan head. Nice hoppy aroma, with doses of both floral and citrus notes. Chewy, malty body with a nice kick of hops as the beer opens up. Long bitter finish. This is a really nice beer, well done.

Oct 2, 2008 Poured a hazy amber color with a nice tan head that lasted. The aroma was of citrus and floral hops. First sip was chocolate and malt with a slight bitterness at the back end. It started out with a good hoppy balance with the malt, maybe the malt was slightly dominating. As the beer warms up the bitterness comes out and whacks you in the face. The beer ends extremely bitter with a decent malt aroma. An OK IPA, nothing extraordinary, a solid beer.

Sep 28, 2008 Awersome floral nose and resiny sticky hop flavor. Malt backing is present and tempers the bitternes a bit. Malty without being sweet. Piny without being overbearing. Long bitter finish. Great everyday IPA.

Sep 27, 2008 My first thoughts are that this looks pretty good. Slightly cloudy amber in color. Piney floral in aroma with a pleasingly mild hoppy bitterness that lingers a little but fades over the short term. Overall it gets better as you drink it. A good solid brew... Thanks to BeerandBlues2 for hooking me up with this.
