Aug 22, 2009 Pours a nice copper with white head, minimal lacing. No real aroma to speak of but I am getting some vanilla. But no hops. Weird. Flavor has some up front hop bitterness followed by a malty/astringent finish. Kind of lingers too, not in a good way. MIght be a bit off, but not great.

Aug 20, 2009 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a hazy orange with an off-white head and good lacing. Nose of citrus and pine hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is of caramel mals with some bittemess from the hops.. The finish is long and bitter. This is a well balanced and quite drinkable IPA.

Aug 19, 2009 Pours amber with off-white head. Piny/hoppy nose with hints of malt. Flavor is piny at first, then comes the over roasted malt that takes over. medium body with burnt and bitter finish.

Aug 18, 2009 Clear amber-orange in color. Beige two-finger head. Floral hop (and a little skunk) aromatics. Watery and light-medium body. Bitter flavor and a neverending astringint bitter finish. Certainly some malt balance, but not my favorite style. Lacks a bit on the palate and the finish is not tasty.

Aug 17, 2009 22 oz bomber via Hagen. Pours a semi hazy amber with an average sized head. Nose is piny hops. Taste is pine, and spicy hops on top of a malt backbone. Almost pepperish but not quite. Body is medium, carbonation s high.

Aug 15, 2009 Rich amber with solid head. Mostly floral hoppiness with some citrus bite in aroma and flavor. IBU’s and bitterness are quite in the face--or on the palate that is. Emphatic bitter-sour finish.

Aug 12, 2009 Draft at Uber. Blecch. Pours a slightly hazy medium bronzy amber. Decent creamy off-white head that doesn’t stick around for long. Piney, solventy nose. Creamy medium body, decent carb showing. Mid-palate tastes like somebody took some old decaying pine needles, swished them around in paint thinner, and force-carbonated the result. Wow, Full Sail, hate to say it ’cause I truly love so many of your beers, but hops have not been the charmed side of recipe creation lately. Phew. Couldn’t get very far with this one. Oy.

Aug 11, 2009 I’m surprised this isn’t rated higher because it’s such a solid IPA. Pours a gorgeous amber color with practically no head. Nice Munich malt base and then the hops hit you like a tone of bricks. Stays bitter long after the sip. The only knock against it is I prefer some more floral aromas which may have shown up had that used some traditional aromatic hops at the end. Too bad this is a seasonal.
