2008-04-18. Hazy orange amber body with a small white head. Moderate hop aroma, light resin. (6+) Similar flavour, moderate hops and resin throughout, light fruity character. Average palate. It’s pretty decent and quite drinkable, but just a bit more assertiveness to it would take it up a notch for me. Bottle from Karen’s Seattle Trip.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle. Somewhat cloudy orange color with minimal head. Quite malty for the style, with a rich, chewy flavor and feel. Comes across as a hopped up English style IPA, and a pretty good one at that.

Aug 6, 2008 Bomber bottle. Poured a slightly cloudy copper color with a light white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is hoppy but kind of off. Not a normal IPA hoppy aroma. Mouthfeel is nice. Flavor is very bitter and not much else. Heavy in grapefruit, but none of the floral hoppiness of the good IPAs. I was excited that this was available in Kansas, but this really let me down.

Aug 4, 2008 [1305-20080418] 1pt6floz bottle. Fruity floral petal sweet hops aroma with a strange juicy malt. Hazy, medium orange brown body with quick white bubbles and nice lattice on the top surface. Bitter earthy hops flavour has a bit of woodsy sap. Medium body is bitter. Very drinkable.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours a cool looking reddish amber color. Slight, faded hops aroma. Flavor is mild hops, specifically cascade and columbus, I believe. Metallic finish which is completely annoying. Even with a rating of 3.1, im probably being a little too generous, as this just isn’t very good. Other than the metal taste, I really can’t wrap my head around what I don’t like about this. I think it’s just the fact that it really lacks any sustainable IPA qualities. I would be interested to try this on tap.

Jul 3, 2008 Pours a reddish gold. Medium sized head. Aroma is spicy hops, pine. Flavor is pretty good, with more of the asaid spicy hops atop a malty background. Nice beer, not great. Purchased this 12 oz bottle at Whole Foods in Falls Church, VA.
