Aug 17, 2009 Draft: Slightly hazed, super solid slightly off-white head. Subtle hoppy, piney nose with notes of spice and orange peel. Piney, minty hop flavors...somewhat flat hop characteristics...stale so to speak...balanced I suppose but nothing is tasting too fresh here...there’s some fruitiness and dried mint character thoug, but its not all that enticing.

Aug 15, 2009 Bottle at Volo. Great aroma, extremely potent and floral. Lots of hop in the aroma. Nice golden colour with a lasting head. Flavour was quite good, extremely balanced. Lots of hop flavour but not as bitter as might be expected. Well balanced malt gives a soft finish. The carbonation in this beer could only be described as "fun." A good experience.

Aug 13, 2009 A nice orange hazy hue gives this beer a nice appearance. The aroma is a bit piney, but not as prevalent as some other ipas. The taste up front has a tangy and piney bitterness, but it leaves the palate with a few hints of sweetness. A very well rounded and balanced ipa.

Aug 9, 2009 Updated: Oct 19, 2009From Bottle August 8,2009. Pours hazy amber/orange with powerful aroma of citrus, pine. A bit more dry and bitter than most of the IPAs I’ve had this past year, but there is definitely a great malt presence throughout, more than the average IPA out there. to me this makes is a more well-balanced brew, and a very good one at that. Overall quite enjoyable in a warm summer evening on Kentucky Lake - Cheers
Update: Enjoyed a few out of a more proper serving glass (tulip) and I must say it was even more flavorful, just a really, really good IPA.

Aug 8, 2009 Keg at the White Horse’s American Beer Festival 2009. Apricot and pine aroma with some hay coming through. The flavours are earthy with some pine and soft fruits. There’s definitely a sharp finish though quite well-rounded. Very good.

Aug 6, 2009 Bottle from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in DC. Orangish-amber color with a creamy white head. Aroma is not as strong as I’d expect from the style, but good, with piney/citrusy hops and a little malt. Flavor is caramel malt, pale malt, apple, citrus, and pine, with bitterness lasting on the finish. Average palate for the style, maybe a little fuller as you’d expect from the ABV. Good but not great IPA.
