Shag (1787), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Jun 4, 2008 Updated: Aug 19, 2008 A copper color with an off white head. The aroma contains citrus such as lemons and oranges but also has a heavy malt presence. The flavor is rather malty for an IPA with a hint of pine and some lemons as well. Overall not amazing but an ok IPA.
lb4lb (1453), Austin, Texas, USA Oct 1, 2008 Pours a rich cloudy amber with a small beige head. Smell is muted, dull, and perhaps slightly old hops and mostly caramel at this point. Taste is much hoppier and the smell. Nic sharp, crisp bitterness and a dry, hoppy and clean flavor. Decent mouthfeel and crisp carbonation. Toasty grasy bitterness and pretty nice overall, and I can imagine this being a very good IPA when super fresh. cbeers21 (408), Miami, Florida, USA Sep 28, 2008 Clear copper with nice frothy head and lacing. Metallic piney hop aromas come off the nose but arent exceptionally potent. Nice hoppy backbone to the brew,with light grapefruit and woodsy notes but they don’t develop or come around as they aren’t entirely well balanced by other factors. The upfront hops are nice but it ends up yeilding a drying flatness. Still not bad though good for the style for sure. BeerBunker (105), Burbank, Illinois, USA Sep 27, 2008 Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma of bitter hops, citrus fruit, and caramel. Taste was very bitter, but balanced nicely with the caramel and malt tastes. A very good IPA. stchloe (197), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 26, 2008 I missed the boat on the point. A wonderful concept on growing local, but a generally unimpressive hop profile. nuplastikk (463), Maryland, USA Sep 23, 2008 22oz bomber split with Ann. Murky, thick orange-brown color with a nice foamy head. Fresh, hoppy aroma. Big, chewy WIPA. Certainly well hopped, with a full bodied malt backbone. Earthy, rich, and heavy.
