Kevin (1777), Colorado, USA May 14, 2008 rusty red lasting white head. smells like strawberry quik. taste- cherry, strawberry, fruity as hell.milky caramel finish. a lot of red fruit happening here. a fun beer with no alcohol hints, but i know it’s there strawberry lingers above all others. i like the occasional sweet beer and this is one, not cloying, but sweet.

ratman197 (2455), Arvada, Colorado, USA Jul 20, 2008 On tap @ Ironworks poured a clear copper with a small lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of pine, orange, light pink grapefruit and a hint of grapefruit. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of pine, earthiness, light orange and a hint of grapefruit with a smooth dry lingering bitter finish. beerguy101 (3522), Newark, California, USA Apr 18, 2005 Medium gold color. Small white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and floral. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and a touch floral. A medium to mildly bitter IPA. Smooth taste. Not a lot of flavor, but very drinkable. There is a class of beers that I am starting to see more and more that I want to call brewpub style varieties. They tend to be beers that are brewed strictly to style and although drinkable seem to be the same cookie cutter beer no matter where you go. This IPA is a slightly better than average version of that beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
