Pours clear gold with a 2 finger white head. Minimal lacing. Ripe grapefruit and wet pine needle aroma, grassy, with a little bit of fresh cut pine wood. Light mouthfeel, medium carbonation, some stickiness in the finish. Resiny flavor without the syrup mouthfeel, less citrus than expected (with the aroma) and a slightly cereal grain finish. Bitter, leans more towards the English IPA in the finish as well. With how sharp the hops are in this beer, it comes close to a "fresh hop" type IPA. Nice.

Nov 30, 2009 Amber pour with lively carbonation and a boisterous two finger white head. Aroma holds orange, sweet grapefruit, lemon, pine resin, bread, and caramel. Flavor is very nice; sweet citrus hop combines with a really nice earthy and sappy bitterness. This is beautifully balanced by a subtle but evident caramel malt presence. Palate holds the bitterness really nicely. Really nice APA.

Nov 30, 2009 Amber pour with quite the lively white froth. Aroma is citrus, hop resin, caramel, bread, and grass. Flavor is sweet tangerine, mandarin, caramel, biscuit, and earth- all combine to make a delicious and well balanced flavor profile. Palate is medium to full for the style with lively effervescence and a sticky resinous finish. Very pleased with this one.

Nov 12, 2009 Tasted 11/12/09. 22oz bomber. Filtered orange yellow hue with a moldy bone white head. Aromas of Citrus candy sugar and red berry esters. Medium bodied with a good palate. Big beer for the style. Lotta hops with a complex flavor profile. Grapefruit and grassy. Moderately tingling effervescence. Bitter with a bit of dryness. Lingers sweetly on the tongue with a hint of 7Up syrup. The malt bill starts to shine as the temp slowly rises. Bready graham malts arise. Bright with tight hop notes. Solid.
