Mar 16, 2006 Seemed like a slightly above average IPA aroma is of hops, but not to strong, good hop taste, tad bitter aftertaste, fairly smooth drinking also.

Mar 14, 2006 Hazy golden color with a thick white head that diminishes with drinking. Taste is very balanced compared to some IPAs. Definitely not one note, hops are definitely present but subdued by generous malts. Very nice beer, but not necessarily what you want if you’re looking for a hopbomb. Also a fair amount of sediment, so be careful pouring if you don’t want it in the beer.

Mar 12, 2006 Hazy dark copper color with big, fluffy tan head. Aroma has honey, caramel, hints of cherry, with citrusy hops. Flavor is hoppy, citrusy, with a firm bitterness in the finish.

Mar 5, 2006 Updated: Mar 10, 2006An excellent beer. Starts with strong Pacific NW hops, but with an undercurrent of other hop profiles -- more mellow, and fruity, apricots and peaches. Not overly malty like some suggest. Thanks to G. Spellman for bringing me a sixer down to Panama. Since I haven’t had any of my other favorites for several months, it is hard to compare...but this has got to be a top 10% beer.

Feb 25, 2006 Hazy, orange. Big, off-white head. Lacks very much discernible hop aroma. Hops are definitely present on the palate but are very restrained. Malt definitely overpowers hops.

Feb 15, 2006 Cloudy copper colored with a small white head. Very pleasant nose--quite sweet with pine and apricot. Good, rounded mouthfeel. Quite bitter, but there’s a sweet malt backbone to hold that up. Lovely touches of orange and apricots; A winner.

Feb 14, 2006 Big malt and hops nose that does not seem like an IPA yet is very olfactory pleasing. Thanfully lacking the metallic cascade notes I despise so much. Rich malt AND hop forward palate that bounces on the tongue with amazing depth for the style. Very good conditioning and lacing on the glass. Nice piney and citrusy finish with a touch of bready malts.

Feb 9, 2006 Updated: Jun 29, 2006This beer came to me in my beer club. I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze color with a large fluffy tan head that lingers. The aroma is sweet fruity hops. The flavor is very bitter with a strong fruity hop presence and a bitter pine resin element that lingers on the palate. The beer is rather hoppy but does not have enough of a malt backbone to it.
