Oct 24, 2006 22 oz. bottle on 10/21/06. Large white head leaving some fair lace rests above a clear gold pour. Terrific hoppy aroma of citrus and pine compliments a fresh grain foundation. Medium body with some astringency and light carbonation. Nice malty base with some toffee and caramel flavors that is quickly replaced by grapefruit bitterness for a good balance.

Oct 23, 2006 Pours bright hazy gold into a snifter. Bright micro head quickly recedes to spot surface and hug rim. Pine, resin and orange aromas. Bitter front to back with distinctive orange. Not a hint of malt in this one. Lasting bitter finish.

Oct 23, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, biegaman & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear golden-orange with a good size semi-lasting white head. Awesome aroma of citrus and piney hops backed by sweet malt -- I love it. Flavour’s quite hoppy with a nice amount of sweet malt, spices and a nice bitter finish. Medium bodied. A nice surprise, this is a very pleasant, flavourful and well-balanced IPA.

Oct 23, 2006 Pours clear gold-orange with a decent white head. Aroma is pine and hops with some oranges. The taste is very crisp; hops, resin, grass, and only a bit of the standard Lagunitas sweet malts. Good hop flavor, but without the bite. Enjoyable, but I really expected more.

Oct 23, 2006 Bottle, BevMo, La Mesa. Pours a medium golden color with traces of orange. Sweet mandarin orange-like citric hoppiness. Nice hop bitterness up front. A sort of sweet backbone to this brew. Full flavored and pretty interesting. Enjoyable.

Oct 23, 2006 Updated: Nov 27, 2006Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. Aroma is very citrusy with lots of orange and lemon along with hints of pine and cleaner. Pours a transparent orange with a small white head. Mild orange, orange peel, and what I would describe as orange sherbet. Mild grapefruit hop finish. Well balanced, but a tad light overall.

Oct 21, 2006 How can you resist singing "freak out!" everytime this beer is mentioned? You can’t! The pour is very light golden color with a nice head that leaves good lacing. The aroma is a good flowery hop aroma with some spiciness to it. The palate is oily and light. This beer has a very strong hop presence and bite. There is a definite spicey taste on the tongue as well.

Oct 20, 2006 This IPA was too sweet for me. I like harsh bitterness in an IPA and this one certainly did not have that characteristic. It was not a bad brew by any means. But it was a little too smooth. I like the Two-Hearted Ale, Red’s Rye type of kick in this genre of beer.
