Poured an auburn color with a crisp, hoppy aroma. Flavor was hoppy but not too bitter. Surprisingly good and smooth. Nice.

Aug 30, 2008 Bright copper color with a tallish light beige head. Nice curtain of lace. Light orange, dry caramel and some pine wood aromas. I feel like I am in an old, dusty, cedar closet. Big caramel sweet start. Middle sweeps away sweetness with a moderate dose of citric hops. Some earthiness in both the hops and the malt. Sweetness weaves in and out. Dry toasted coconut in the finish. Linger is quite dry and fairly bitter. Actually the longer you wait between sips the more you realize the deep bitterness in this one.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear gold with a huge off white head. Aroma is citrus and floral hops. Flavor is not great. A good bitter finish is outdone by a horrid soapy flavor.
TOSG55 (24), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber orange with minimal head. Aroma of floral hops and a bit of soapiness. The flavor is similar; floral hops predominate, with a bit of breadiness also slightly apparent. The mouthfeel is rather bitter/astringent. A good beer, though I wouldn’t call it an IPA (more like an APA, really). It’s a bit reminiscent of the Alpha King, though certainly not as good.

Aug 26, 2008 (12oz bottle, thanks peregrinari) Medium beige head that mostly dissipates atop crystal clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, bread, some grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some bread. Light-medium body, light resin.
Bungalo22 (268), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA
Aug 24, 2008 Had on tap. It smells mildly hoppy with a bit of citrus in there. It pours an amber color with a small head. It is smooth and a bit sweet on taste. Nothing outstanding here but nothing bad either.
