Sep 18, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours light copper in colour, great big caramel off white head. Solid hopp aroma, big hop flavour. Piney, citrusy hop finish. Too hoppy to taste the malt. I must for hop-heads!

Sep 17, 2009 This is the best IPA I tried so far (that I can remember). Really nice malty and yet lots of taste of the hops. Great head.

Sep 17, 2009 Crisp, juicy IPA with good a hop bill. The hop flavors are a mix of pine and grapefruit. I don’t understand why Great Divide doesn’t distribute to California, but this IPA would fit right in with our lineup. It’s the kind of IPA with enough hops to make you feel a bit relaxed from the lupulin or humulene or whatever. The beer is fairly bitter but still well-balanced, in the sense that no off notes stick out or distract from the whole. It’s a medium bitter, well-executed, West coast-leaning IPA, and that’s probably the best description that I can come up with. The malt has good sweetness but doesn’t get in the way of the stars of the show. The only real flaw that I can think of is that it’s a bit middle of the road compared against the current field of American IPAs. That said, it’s a very well done version of the middle of the road. It just doesn’t have that little extra complexity or uniqueness or depth of the very best of the style.

Sep 14, 2009 bottled, pours light amber with small tan head, big hop nose with sweet malt backing it up, hop bitters up front with combo of sweet malt/bitters lasting on palate, shocking at first, then mellows.

Sep 13, 2009 Amber body with a bubbly white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is actually a bit sweet with citrus, malt, and flowers. Surprisingly smooth and easy to drink. Sweet entry with sugared grapefruit and caramel leads to a wonderfully bitter finish with grapefruit and pine. A very good IPA.

Sep 13, 2009 12 oz bottle. Great, interesting IPA. Strong bitter flavor with a nice mellow aftertaste--almost a paradox. Beautiful pale copper hue. Nice beer.

Sep 12, 2009 Cloudy amber colour, lots of particles in the liquid, small creamy beige head plenty of lacing. Aroma is full of hops, pine, grapefruit and also malt in the background. It has great divides unmistakeable signature smell. Flavour is hoppy with a very distinct bitterness and notes of grapefruit, lemon and pine. Mouthfeel is crisp with medium bubbles.

Sep 11, 2009 Updated: Nov 21, 200912 oz bottle-Pale amber color, nice head. Bitterness that lingers in the back of the throat. I’ve never had an ipa with a bitterness quite like this. It starts sweet then bang, an explosion of bitterness goes off in your mouth, the hop head in me loves this. I noticed that the description on this website puts the ABV at 6.8, but my bottle says 7.1, the brewers must have upped the alcohol. I’m not complaining.
