Jun 21, 2007 My bottle (12oz), shared with tupalev. Pours a dark copper-orange with an average size rocky off-white head. Nice aroma of floral and citrusy hops backed by caramel malt. Flavour starts a touch watery and mellow but it does kick in with the hops along with a nice caramel malt base and an average bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty good, it’s a simple yet pleasant IPA.

Jun 20, 2007 Bottle (12oz). Pours a lovely slightly hazy burnt copper, with an average fizzy/rocky off-white head. I found this aroma quite lush, fresh resiny/funky hops softened by slight lactic and floral notes, mild malt and maybe a hint of latex paint, but for all that very appealing, something I don’t always find with this brewer. The taste is quite decent, more cereal grain and less hops, it finishes grapefruit/resin bitter, I almost get rye in there too. Average to ight body, quite crisp, nice bit of astringency, only adequate carbonation, nice long medium-bitter finish - I don’t know the ABV but I found it ear-warming. Solid IPA, I’d buy a six of this and kill it on the balcony.

Jun 15, 2007 Slight grassy aroma, mildly green, with some soapiness. Flawless appearance of medium amber with a modest white head and some lacing. MMM, nice job here. Swirling malt complexity with toasted caramel, light crystal leads to a dry finish. The hops are tantalizingly present giving a citric presence to the swirl and a grassy ending. An interesting take. K - up the aroma and this is a winner.
