Aug 8, 2009 Draft @ brewery...Nose is fantastic - spicy watermelon, pine, juniper berry. Just about a perfect nose when it’s this fresh. Flavor is crisp grapefruit, followed by really well-integrated caramel and cereal and a super-crisp, slightly bitter finish where the melon shows again. As fresh as can be - this beer is extremely good - a really pleasant surprise to have on our doorstep. This one pint led to a take-home bomber, which didn’t last the night.

Apr 30, 2009 Draught at the source. Pours hazy orange with an average, rocky, off-white head, lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (husky grain, meal, cereal), heavy hop (flowers, citrus), average yeast (sweat) with notes of pear and peach. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness. Too much malt character; the hop profile is overcome by malt.

Mar 2, 2009 Draft from brewery which is in between my house and my school. Great aroma, floral and resiny. Great flavor, bright and bitter up front with a mellowing into the hop and malt flavors.

Feb 19, 2009 22oz bomber with a chimpanzee on the label. An immediate sniff of the bottle returns hoppy, hop, hops! The appearance is a dark orange with a sudsy, soapy head. Aromas of hops, specifically fruity citrus. The taste is remarkably balanced. Based upon the aroma, I was expecting a hop bomb but this has a nice malt profile with a little bitterness at the end.

Jan 3, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear light amber with a frothy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet sugary melon and caramel malts with fruity piney hops.
The flavor is sweet caramel malts and some melon with a good amount of piney fruity bitterness to balance it. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a very pleasant surprise. This is a very tasty and well balanced IPA.

Dec 12, 2008 A salty overcarbonated mess. Having said that, it does have some great aromatics from the hop department. Pours a honey gold with overflowing white head. Nose is all grassy hops, but way too much sugar and salt in this one. Drainpour.

Pleased to try this one. Crackery malts and fresh-hopped flavors. Far too flat as received, but otherwise reasonable enough as a British IPA.

Sep 19, 2008 Mostly clear with an orange color. Weak head. Moderate carbonation. Lightish body. Big citrus (orange and lemon) right from the beginning. Some sourness and a little bitterness followed. Cracker-like malt flavors lacked sweetness. Lackluster hop flavors and aromas were one dimensional and boring.
