A dirty hazy amber with a thick off white head, overcarbonated, gusher, like OKBeer and Duffman’s (although I got mine in Reno, NV). Aroma is doughy, with tired herbal hops, developping citrussy notes in final. In mouth, a funky pinhey IPA, with light sweet maltyness, some burned toast, a bit too astringent. Medium bodied. Bought at the Booze Bors., August 2007. Sampled March 25, 2008.

Jun 7, 2008 Hazy golden body with a huge ivory head, very lively carbonation. Sweet and slightly spicey aroma, it seems like some nutmeg and sour apple if that makes any sense. Sweet and hoppy taste, some pineapple with a light apple accent. Smooth ending, would have rated higher had the initial carbonation not been totally out of wack.

Mar 27, 2008 Maybe not the worst IPA I’ve had, but I know Freeminer can do SO much better (see Deep Shaft Stout). This beer just didn’t have any semblance of what I consider an IPA, English or American...where’s the hops? And what’s up with the avalanche of carbonation with this? It felt like I was drinking some 7-Up type beverage with that high fizz.
The beer pours a very nice looking medium amber color, hazy with a gigantic sized head. The aroma was straight-up fruity with an unclear floral/perfumey character that I didn’t chalk up to hops, but rather the yeast used. Flavor is masked by the harshness of the beer, but pushing aside the bubbles there is a smidgen of sweet fruityness there. The overcarbonation lingers after awhile causing quite a bit of extraordinary burping. Whew...no thanks."

Mar 24, 2008 Golden pour with slight haze and sediment. Aroma is sweet and full of light fruit. Taste is of tangerine, lemon peal, and light hops. Real smooth with a decent bitter finish. Might buy again.
