Oct 16, 2009 Bottle. Complex fruity nose, just super hoppy, with a tiny bit of resin and some really great mingling of the oils. Rich clear golden with a lacing, creamy white head. Taste is very strongly bitter with some tingling mineral water pushing the caramel way down the bottom. Some crisp hop bite but a little too much sharp crystal malt. Strong pine. Tongue numbed very early on. Light earthy and herbal tones, and a little soap. Full, almost too-full body. Difficult but nice.

Sep 30, 2009 Hazy light amber color with a rocky beige head. Dough and citric aromas. Grain, dough, grapefruit zest and earthy pine aromas. Wood and grain flavors as well. Seems to dry, without enough malt to backup the hops.

Sep 26, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with ditmier. Pours a hazy orange gold with a moderate yellow-white head that lasted through two-thirds of the glass and left large patches of lace. Pleasant aroma of oranges, grapefruit and caramel. The flavor is caramel with some lightly resinous pine followed by moderate grapefruit bitterness. There is some fruitiness with the bitterness, which I liked. Enjoyable!

Sep 19, 2009 Pretty good. Aroma was very nice with a citrus hop presence. Looked nice, amber with a good sized fluffy head that stayed around. Nicely balance flavor with malts up front and a hop bitterness at the back end.

Sep 15, 2009 12oz - Aroma is funky grapefruit and mango hops with just enough malt to keep it honest. Flavor matches. Palate is creamy and tart. A nice fruity IPA.
