Jan 22, 2009 THOUGHTS: Not one of my favorite styles, but this one is a little different from the others and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It was rather orangey. Pretty nice, but not great. This was my first new beer to try after drinking just about nothing but Victory Hop Devil during the Phillies run to the World Series.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a medium brownish orang with great carbonation and a large, off-white head that slowly diminished and left excellent lacing. The aroma was mostly moderate grassy and orangey hops, with some light earthy yeast, slight funk and orange rind. The flavor started out a little sweet and more bitter and acidic, while it finished bitter and acidic with an average to long duration. There was orange and yeast mostly, but they were a little watery. The light to medium body was dry with very fizzy carbonation and a moderate astringent finish that made me want to keep sipping.

Jan 18, 2009 Foamed a bit, huge towering out of the glass head, i was very proud in a way... Pours a hazy amber... Aroma of mildly fruity hops... Taste is a bit dry with some mild malts and some interesting but subdued hops... Medium bodied... Decent pale ale, not nearly as good as others...

Jan 17, 2009 Not a fan of Pale Ales, but this is one of the better examples of the style. Nice floral aroma, with lots of copper and citrus zest. Flavor is similar to an Alpha King-lite. Lots of hops and a wheat backbone. Somewhat weak, but with a metallic finish.

Jan 7, 2009 very carbonated...bottle cap almost flew off. huge white foamy head and a light honey color. sweetness of the dry hop is very noticeable in the aroma. some pineyness up front but other than that flavor is more balanced and less citrusy than the aroma suggests and the finish brought out a mild metallic flavor and also a bit of stringency.

Jan 7, 2009 12oz bottle via trade with Acknud. Pours a mostly clear golden yellow with an enormous white head, tons of carbonation. Brew had kind of a sour citrus peel aroma. Brew was very lively on the palate.

Dec 29, 2008 Thin head of fine white bubbles. Orange and citrusy aroma with some lemon and straw. Very dry and pasty palate. Like taking a mouthful of chalk. Some more orange flavors and loads of bitterness. Herbal bitterness with a bit of peanut skins. Bitter and dry finish. An ok IPA.
