does not count  Nov 6, 2009 Bomber. Healthy tawney copper color and a wooly well retained head. Smells like evergreen and iron. Flavor is a well rounded combination of citrus, rye, candi, and grain, though none of these flavors dominate. It makes me think of bread. Metal tastes follow, and then bitter hoppines lingers for ages, it seems. The feel is thick, but only slightly oily with very fine dusty grit. The freshness and plenitude of locally grown hops is evident here, but not overdone. I’m pretty happy with this wet hopped IPA.
Elwood (659), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
Nov 6, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Amber orange color with a foamy, off-white head. Decent head retention.
Aroma: Lots of pine with some floral notes. I don’t get much on the malt side.
Flavor: Pine, some citrus notes, and floral notes from the hops. Light, sweet malt notes with a touch of biscuit. Lighter in the flavor profile than I was expecting.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a long, bitter finish.
Overall: This one really didn’t wow me. It’s not a bad IPA, but it doesn’t hold up to it’s competition in the category. It isn’t a bad single hop brew though. Take it or leave it.

Oct 29, 2009 Bottle Pours a clear golden with a real good off white head. The head is froathy and lasting. Leaves a nice sticky lacing on the glass. Has a good hoppy aroma of pine, grapefruit, and some candy sweetness. Has a decent carbonation. The flavor is excellent. A subtle bitterness. Nice clean charactor. Smooth and easy to drink. Has a resiny texture with some metalic to it. The body is medium to full. A real good finish and a nice lingering aftertaste. Pretty good IPA.
AndyReynolds (280), Wilder, Kentucky, USA
Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a thin quickly disapating white head. Aroma is very hoppy with a bit of sweet malts. Notes of grass, citrus (a bit of grapefruit), and a bit of pine. On the palate, it is lighter than I expected. The flavor has a very strong hop pressence, but still a bit watered down and it finishes with a nice hoppy bitter bite. Pretty good harvest ale, but nothing really special about it.

Oct 27, 2009 Amber orange color with modest head. Tangy herbal taste with little aroma. Medium body. I’ve had better wet hop brews.
13mikey (117), New Hope, Minnesota, USA
Oct 21, 2009 22 oz bomber from the Four Firkens. Dark orange pour with a big white fluffy head. Floral hoppy aroma with a slightly sweet touch to it. Flavor isn’t really very distinctive, I get the hopes and a bit of malt but it’s mainly bitter with the finish being bitter as well.
