Pours a nice golden amber. The aroma is hops. The taste is a touch of pine with some hops and smooth grain. Pretty damn good.

Pours a crisp gold color, with a big frothy white head. Big piney crisp citrus hop aroma fills the air. Very zesty. The flavor is quite similar, great hop bite and bitterness for this pale ale. Nice grapefruit citrus aftertone with hints of malt character as well. Nice little alcohol presence too as the 8% is evident. I quite enjoyed it!

Tap at a little burrito shop in Davis, WV called Hellbender. Amber color, white head. A very welcoming hopped aroma with hints of grapefruit. Flavor is a nice soft caramel malt. All followed by a sharp bitterness. A bit too sharp for me to really enjoy this beer. I got it down, just a bit too off balance for my palate that particular day. 25 oct 09

Marketed as a Pale Ale, really this is an IPA ( GL already has an IPA, commodore Perry). Pours a pale amber. heavily hopped, hints of pine. good palate, but very "sticky" on the lips. great notches formed upon drinking. A truly unique taste.

Beer acquired from trip to Westlake in September. Decent appearance for an IPA, but not super great. Aroma is light. Pretty good flavor, but not amazing. Smooth drinking IPA. I give this beer about a 7 overall.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Pale amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, floral, hoppy nose with orange peel, grapefruit and grainy malt. Fruity, floral taste with notes of orange peel, grapefruit, grainy malt and fresh hops in the finish. Medium body, fairly dry. Lovely balance between the subtle grainy malt and the citrussy hop character. Nice beer.

I’m not getting the high ratings. Ok malty APA that did not do much for me in terms of hops or taste.
