Oct 5, 2008 5/11/08. Poured into a shaker pint. It pours a nice golden amber with a lasting white head. It smells heavily of floral and citrus hops but its also balanced out with some sweet malt. This is a really solid sessionable IPA. Its pretty easy to drink and the malt melds really well with the strong hoppiness. Really surprised by this one. Probably my second favorite from Great Lakes so far next to the Blackout Stout.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle dated 10/24/08. Golden, looks thick, lacy head. Lots of flavor here: initially a bit sweet and fruity, some spiciness, but finishes with grapefruit juice aftertaste. Good balance of malt and hops. Can feel it in my ribs. Well-made IPA.

Sep 29, 2008 12oz Bottle. Pours very clean golden hay color with medium white head. Aroma is citrus and hops. Flavor definitely has malty sweetness which is combined with the citrus hops. Nice balance between malt and hops. Finish is a little dry.

Sep 10, 2008 12 oz bottle, Wow a hidden gem! Did not have high expectation for this IPA. Excellent IPA, good balance! Poured a bit light with fluffy head, some lacing. Aroma jumped out immediately, smells of citrus, grapefruit, melons, hop freshness. Taste is soild, somewhat like a Jr. Two Hearted Ale. Balanced, and hoppy, although the after taste does not linger as much. An underrated IPA, in my opinion.
