Picked it up at Armanetti’s in Chicago today. clear, golden orange with minimal head. nose is dominated by the citrus (grapefruit) with some caramel maltiness in the background. Hint of alcohol in the nose, but hardly perceptible. Flavor is well-balanced mix of grapefruit and malts. Has a nice lingering bitter finish.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle. Pours hazy amber with an off-white head. The aroma is as expected with pine and citrusy hop notes. A noticeable resiny character and slightly sticky in mouthfeel however I get a feeling the in your face punch of hoppyness has faded over some time in the bottle. It’s still good drinking though for what it’s worth.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle. Thin two finger head when poured it has a great orange/amber color. There is an aroma of the floral hops with a great citrus smell. You can taste the hops right off the bat, then a citrus and pine taste. Good carbonation. Great brew

Jan 2, 2010 Nose is heavily citrus, orange, and grassy/piny hops; a little bread and caramel. Copper/straw color with a white, frothy head that stays with the beer to a small extent all the way down the glass. Flavor is very bitter, very fresh and citrusy. Medium-thick mouthfeel; lightly sticky on the lips. Not quite my style but a very good beer.

Jan 1, 2010 Golden orange pour with one finger of white head. Nose is floral, citrus, and hops. Taste is big hops with a sweet barley in the middle and bitter hops at the backend. The palate is thin and refreshing. Great ipa.

Jan 1, 2010 Massive white head that sticks around for a while. this one is huge, but it is very well balanced. The malt is a plenty on this one. The hops are not overedone. A cedar type hoppiness resonatesthroughout this one. just a solid beer

Dec 26, 2009 Interesting. Definitely hoppy, but with some interesting sweet overtones of honeysuckle, lilac, and peppermint. The taste lingers with these piney bitterness. Theres also a nice herbal aroma, sage or heather perhaps.

Dec 25, 2009 Oily orange color. Great lacing. Funky aroma of pine and wheat bitter up front, followed by a flash of )))salty??((( then more bitterness. Not sire I like the middle flash of flavor, but I like the hop profile a ton.
