clear golden, smooth large offwhite head.
flowery, bittersweet and citrussy hoppy aroma.
flavor is intensely hoppy, pine, citrus, grapefruit, floral, and quite bitter too. malty base is tihere, but a bit in the background. ends very bitter, like grapefruitjuice wth hops. quenching, and you can probably get used to it and like it a lot.

Dec 1, 2009 22oz bomber from whole foods in greenville. pours a hazy orange with a soft, thick vanilla-white head and great lacing. aroma is very nice with loads of citrus hop notes of white grapefruit, orange, and lemon with unique soapy, floral notes and a touch of fresh spruce. flavor is very good as well with bright citrus hop notes of orange and grapefruit with hints of sweet caramel malts, vanilla, and floral esters and a nice, spicy, bitter hop presence on the finish. palate is medium bodied with prickly carbonation and easy drinking. overall, a very nice IPA.

Nov 17, 2009 (bottle - 22 oz) Hazy orange pour with a thick white head. Mild aroma. Mainly citrus and floral hops. Some sweetness. Very piney and citrusy at the beginning with a nice bitter backbone and a light malt balance. Aftertaste isn’t too bitter but leaves a nice flowery hint on the tongue. Really nice.

Nov 15, 2009 Bottle, ABV 6.8%, at RBNAG 2009 in Vatlandsvåg. Cloudy deep orange to amber colour, moderate off-white head. Intense aroma of fruity American hops on a background of marmalade and American caramel malts. The flavour is swet with notes of marmalade, with distinct American hops throughout. Bitter aftertaste. Okay.

Nov 10, 2009 Interesting ambivalence here. Most of the characteristics are pretty good except for the flavor where it gets taken down a good peg or two. Tastes like oxidized hops there. Poured with a giant foamy frothy textured head and a ton of lace. Aroma was american ipa. Flavor is same except as modified above. Body is good and ditto carbonation. Finish is ok.

Nov 4, 2009 This is a fine IPA. Pours cloudy orange with a white head. Huge citrus aroma of grapefruit, orange, lemon, etc. A little sweet to lend some balance, but nice hoppy bitterness. Solid brew.

Nov 2, 2009 Bottle Pours a cloudy orange gold with a good off white head. The head is lasting and creamy. Laces pretty well. Has a real good hoppy aroma. Mostly citrus, pine, and a touch of spices. Has a good carbonation. The flavor has milder hops but a great bitter backbone. Very clean and crisp. Has a medium body. A watery texturde which I find unusual for this style. Has a strong finish with a great aftertaste. More or less a plain Jane IPA which is everything it should be. Very well done.
