Jun 24, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours amber with a off-white to light tan head that leaves abundant lacing from the two finger frothy head. The nose id a powerful aroma of pine, citrus, and florals. The flavor is dominated by the hops with some grapefruit, pine, and some sweet caramel. The palate was a bitter hop sack punch It was medium heavy which would make it an "occasional beer" but not a good session beer. That being said, I thought the brew was AWESOME Loved the beer from start to finish...

Jun 24, 2008 This is a new favorite IPA for me. Total hop bomb of some of my favorite hops, backed by some nice malt to make a classic IPA.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle: pours a dark amber color with a thin white head, aroma of floral hops, some citrus, taste is hoppy but not overpowering, also has a toasted malt or something flavor which gives it a bit of a burnt taste. Nice IPA.

Jun 19, 2008 Bottle. Big hop aroma and big bitter flavor make this a well-crafted and enjoyable IPA. Frothy, off-white head, mostly lasting. Amber, hazy body. The aroma is full of grapefruit, orange juice, orange peel, pineapple and resin. Hints of toasted grain. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter and moderately acidic. The finish is bitter. Medium to full body with a velvety texture. Lively carbonation. This reminded me of Alpha King, with a sweeter aroma and flavor. Very nicely done.

Jun 17, 2008 Updated: Sep 2, 2008This was a beautiful IPA that is nearly exactly like Bear Republic’s Racer 5. It literally tastes exactly like it, though I prefer this one for its lack of too much pineyness. This is one very citrussy beer, and that is always always a great thing in my mouth’s book. It pours a cloudy orange with chunks of yeast chunking around and it has so much flavor it draws the mouth water out. Just great, can’t believe I waited so long to try this one out.

Jun 16, 2008 Poured a beautiful cloudy copper with a nice head. Hops are right there. Great except for the finish, a it is bit too hopyy for my taste.

Jun 14, 2008 12oz bottle(courtesy of RSRIZZO)-A light copper body with a loose off white head. Aroma of citrus and hops. Taste of this medium bodied brew is of the same with a bitterness and a dryness. Very good and drinkable IPA.
