Hazy orange colour with big white head. Bold hop flavours with touch of malt. Not a flash IPA, underwelming.

Oct 20, 2009 IPA? No.
weird pseudo-hefeweizen without wheat? yes.
something must have gone wrong here, no hops but plenty of weird esters and phenols...

Oct 18, 2009 Like some others here I got the butterscotch aroma and flavours of Diacytel. Also got the banana aroma too, definietly not what I expected (or wanted). Found it to be malty, not the hoppy-hop-monster the brewers description indicates.

Sep 20, 2009 Banana esters on the nose. More esters in the flavour. It has a strange hoppy-banana thing going on. Kind of wheat-beer like. I have it on good authority that there was no rogue wheat beer yeasts infections in this beer and it’s supposed to taste like that. Not bad, just atypical.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle at Malthouse, first day availiable, so fresh.
Pours golden, thin white head. Aroma has a lot of sweet malt, and and earthy hop character.
The flavour is full in the mouth, a good strong lingering bitterness. Sweetish bready malt is quickly balanced with medium earthy hops.
A pretty solid IPA, just nothing amazing.

Sep 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a fluffy white head. Oh no, diacetyl on the nose, not strong but enough to be off putting. In the mouth, the malt is all butterscotch as well. Shame, as I can just sense a good hopping and bitterness. I will give it another go to rerate.

Sep 4, 2009 Bottle, purchased at Centre City New World Market. Very funky Andy Warhol-inspired label (I love it-- just because you’re green doesn’t mean that you have to be dull!). Pours a bright golden yellow with a big long-lasting head. Big citrus oil, resin, perfumy aroma. Very nice, with an intangible unique quality to it, a little limey perhaps? Fresh fruity hop flavour in abundance, mostly citrus with a little mango rind. Malts are clean but subdued. Finish is soundly bitter. Lighter mouthfeel that lends this brew some dangerous drinkability.
