Feb 16, 2009 Bottle. Bit of a barleywine aroma, but flavor is all fruity IPA. Not very piney for me, but quite bitter - malt balance could be better, though I like this beer quite a lot. I like the new label.

Pours a clear amber color with a nice white head and good lacing on the glass. The aroma is fruity. Full carbonation hits your tongue with force making room for a short lived maltiness followed by a hop presence that although pronounced, it is an IPA afterall, is not overwhelming. I did not get the impression that hops were added just to show off as in some IPAs, they were part of the plan.

Apperance: Golden orangeish with a small head and nice residual lacing.
Aroma: Citric notes, Pine, Wheat biscuits, Hint of honey.
Flavor: Hint of caramel, Citric notes, Pine, Malt. Very grapefruity!
Palate: Plenty of bitterness but nicely balanced with a solid malt backbone.
A very american ipa with the focus on citric & floral hops and that’s the way i like it. This was plenty to get my hop-cravings satisfied for the evening. Very drinkable and very good!

Feb 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a coppery orange with a big fluffy head and aromas of floral and citrus hops (grapefruit and oranges come to mind). Flavor is a nice balance of caramel maltiness and somewhat subdued citrus flavors from the hops. Not quite so aggressive as on many IPA’s but pleasant, none the less. This is a little sweeter than I’m used to in this style, but not cloying and relatively full flavored, in spite of the subtle nature of it all... This is pretty good stuff.

Feb 6, 2009 A yellow and orange pour with a faint aroma of hops and citrus. The flavor, while not anything special has some good balance of bitter hops and sweet malts. Smooth mouthfeel. A solid effort from an excellent brewery.

Feb 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a yellow orange with nice medium sized white head, nice lacing. Aroma is hops, hops, and more hops, a bit of pine and citrus. Well balanced flavor, plenty of hops, malt, and caramel sweetness. Medium mouthfeel, the hop bitterness kind of numbs the mouth. Great IPA.

Feb 3, 2009 Updated: Jun 20, 2009Pours a medium amber with hints of orange. The head is thick and which and very frothy looking. The overwhelming aroma is strong hops with hints of citrus and pine. The beer has a crisp hoppy flavor, but is still very easy to drink. It feels great in the mouth, has a satisfying flavor and aftertaste and goes down easy. This is a great beer for a hot day, but works well as an everyday drinking beer as well. It strikes a nice balance between a overhopped double IPA and your standard IPA that might be lacking a little in flavor.
