drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 17, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Not too shabby... nice fruity/citrus hop notes, but not as good as their crazy story, as usual. TURDFERGUSON (1594), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Aug 16, 2009 Bottle, shared by Taylor. Thanks dude. Golden orange with a small white head. Nice floral hoppy nose. Flavor is bitter- earth and pine, and a slight buffalo chicken wing thing. Really strange. Bitter finish. Scauca (408), Lovere, Italy Aug 16, 2009 Bottle @ GBBF ’09. Clear amber with thick lacing white head. Strong citrus, pine and floral aroma. Sweet toward a bitter dry end. Fruity. Medium bodied. bubbleflubber (885), Collinsville, Virginia, USA Aug 13, 2009 Pours on draught a clear orange-amber, with a nice offwhite retentive head. Big floral aromas, with nice orange citrus upfront in the mouth. This is followed by solid rind and zest notes midway through, and a crisp pine needle hoppy finish. The mouthfeel is clean and almost fruity, with a medium body. Lingers appropriately, wi a nice hint of pepper in the back-palate, closing the pull very well. A nice offering. 6ROW (243), corpus christi, Texas, USA Aug 9, 2009 amber pour with a small dense off white head. very little hops aroma, great hops taste, not over the top on ibu’s . a few fruit esters JaBier (1130), Capital City, Ohio, USA Aug 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium off-white head. Bready and sweet malt nose with some earthy hops. Citrus and grassy hop flavor up front giving way to sweet malt before a bitter finish. natejgood (188), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 5, 2009 Pours a dark golden color with a thick, off-white head that is very foamy and leaves nice lacing on the glass. The aroma is somewhat fruity and sweet with a hint of hops. I would have expected the hop aroma to be a little stronger in an IPA. The flavor is also only slightly hopped. It is more malty and fruity than most IPAs I have tasted. At some points it has an almost appley flavor. It’s not a bad flavor and is easy to drink because it is crisp in the mouth, but it is not what I generally expect from an IPA. Overall, this is a good beer, but it is a bit off the beaten path as far as IPAs go. It’s a little different, so as long as you are expecting that you should enjoy this beer. evergreen0199 (259), London, Greater London, England Aug 4, 2009 Bottle at GBBF 2009. An amber coloured pour with a decent white head. Hoppy aroma as expected. Malty, fruity, hoppy taste. Nicely balanced IPA. Reasonably good.
