hopson (525), Williamsville, New York, USA Aug 4, 2008 bottle- nice sticky hops backed by a substantial caramel malt flavor- as well balanced and drinkable an IPA that I have had. Delicious.
GMUcrew7 (236), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Nov 28, 2008 Pours slightly hazy copper color with a frothy off white head. Nice pine and grapefruit hop aroma. Wonderfully balanced flavor, sweet toffee and caramel malts with the perfect amount of pine, grapefruit and grassy hops. Full body with a nice sticky palate, the somewhat high alcohol content is very well hidden. Excellent IPA. zappafan99 (349), Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA Nov 26, 2008 Taste 11/8 Bottle. Looks: Clear Amber body with a thin, heavy head. Aroma : Nice pine and citrus mix. A little malt, some roast. Taste: Nice hop to malt balance. Fullness of taste and aroma. Spicy and well blended. joshwilfong (559), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 26, 2008 -golden reddish brown mostly hoppy nose. Flavor just has a tad of crystal malt with a lot of grapefruit-bitterness and flavor from the centennial hops with a mild floral appearance at the end. A solid one hop beer. Petrucci914 (407), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Nov 21, 2008 Pours a rich orange with a medium frothy white head that dissipates quickly, leaving webs of lacing. A lot of particulate here.....I shouldn’t have poured it this quick, but particulate like this is a rarity for an IPA. Aroma is intense grapefruit, some grassiness and pine. Taste is much the same with a thin mouthfeel with some unsweetened tea in there. Pretty good and drinkable on the bitter spectrum. WakeandBake (150), Greenville, Michigan, USA Nov 21, 2008 12oz bottle into pint,mug,and snifter.Liked the mug best of the three.Slightly hazy orange/amber pour with 1-2 fingers of fluffy white head,plenty of lacing all the way down.Aroma is hoppy grapefruit,pine,and spice at first,as it warms you get more of the caramel malt. Flavor is very balanced,citrus,pine resin,and this chewy sticky caramel/honey thing going on in flavor and mouthfeel.The soft carbonation and a medium body make this go down way too easy . I waited to try this only because I can get it anytime,I’m going to keep some of this on hand from now on. Very Good !
