Jun 21, 2009 Bottle. Clear yellow/orange pour, little carbonation and a sour and dry hoppy aroma. Flavor was heavy citrus orange, hops, flowers and bitter on the finish. Decent IPA, but it still doesn’t beat a Bells Two Hearted or a Surly Furious.

Jun 15, 2009 [Bottle] Pours orange with a tiny off-white head. Aroma is not great—sweet and grainy, with faint toffee and honey, and some floral notes. Taste is significantly better. Pretty good hop bite. Mostly grapefruit. Simple, but pretty good. Average mouthfeel, good finish with a lot of malt. Big disparity between the aroma and taste, but all in all it is a drinkable beer, albeit very far from spectacular.

Jun 15, 2009 (bottle from OSLO) Pours out clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma is slightly musty, peppery, and a bit cheesy. It takes a bit of warming, but some citrus appears and there is a hint of coriander too. Taste has ample caramel, with a bit of citrus (tangelo) on the end, that finishes out with some nice grapefruit bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation is as well. Thanks Al!

Jun 4, 2009 Did not get much of the nose on this one.. some hops .. Pours A golden orange color with a nice white head that lasted. Medium body with Lacking carbonation but that was ok. Flavor was average for me with the other IPA’s I have had. It had all the flavors but nothing stood out... OK and I would drink it again..

Jun 3, 2009 I do enjoy most from Great Lakes. Picked up a six of CP recently, it has a enjoyable aftertaste.

May 22, 2009 A clean golden pour. This batch is quite bitter. The hops are bone dry. Has some caramel malts to balance it out. It leans towards the dominant hoppy side, even for an IPA. I approve!
