Dec 24, 2009 bottle, pours a hazy copper with with light tan head, looking closly it has particles suspended in it makeing it look hazy. Aroma is big citrus with a little soft sweetness. Taste, the hops go right to the tongue and immediatly start trying to turn it inside out, big citrus flavor. The mouth is coated with a grapefruit smoothness then huge bitterness, pine flavor lingers and the dry mouth wants more. The tingle lingers and lingers. Feels like a double or imperial Ipa. Love it

Dec 20, 2009 On tap at Spring Street Smokehouse. Nice amber with a thick head. Aroma is pure hops. Flavor is complex hop layers, pine, grapefruit, not so fruity, just hop bitterness with a mild maltiness. A hop bitch slap.

Dec 9, 2009 aromais nearly subdued hops, salty lemons predominate. appearance is amber with little head and great lacing. flavor is huge juicy grapefruits and a carton of ’five-alive’ juice. stinging bitterness really lingers. kudos to the respectable ABV, this is the epitome of a west coast IPA, and great by any regions standards.

Dec 4, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Pours hazy orange-pink with a very fine, yet intensely creamy off-white head. Aroma of honey, grass, lemon zest, hops, and hints of caramel. Medium, pleasantly crisp body with a slightly tart mouthfeel and a very slow-burning finish. Great IPA.

Dec 1, 2009 This beer pours a medium amber color with a thin white head Leaving a little lacing down the sides. On the nose this beer is quite good, notes of spruce, citrus and dough. The flavors are pine, citrus, and a hint of vanilla for some reason. I really liked this one. Cheers!

Nov 30, 2009 A very nice west coast IPA, this is not my favorite category, but I think this has very good hops with a hint of floral and grass mixed in making it very tasty and a good beer to drink
