opaque amber, fine beige head, lots of drippy lace, sweet dark caramel aroma with lots of floral hops, rich caramel malt flavor, nice sweetness balanced by a handfull of hop flavor, the sweetness gets a bit sticky after a while but the hop profile keeps up with it, nice lingering bitter finish, a well made IPA

(Duncansville) Creamy beige head atop clear dark amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, light pineapple/pine. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, light pine. Medium body, some resin, light acidity. Seems a similar recipe to their APA, just a little bit bigger.

On tap. Poured a dark and cloudy amber color with small sized off white head. Aromas of fresh hop leaves, floral and light citrus. Tastes of fresh hops, citrus with a grapefruit bitter finish.

Draft... Harrisburg Brewfest 2... Lightly hazy, deep amber ale with a small, creamy, khaki head. Good retention. The aroma is malty and hoppy... butterscotch, pine and toffee. Rich, malty flavor up front, chased by moderate hop bitterness... nice, lasting bite. Full-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Lengthy, very bitter finish. Leaves the mouth very dry. Great brew!

Draught at the brewery. Dark and murky copper dull brown colored body with a tan firm head. Toasty, bready, juicy hops in the nose, along with a tangy dark orange and sugary gun scent, rounded out with some spiced toast. Sweet smelling overall. Properly tart and puckery on the tongue, medium thickness and moderately frothy. Has a resiny sweetness in the finish, and is a very good drink, with some oily dryness, but also a bit chalky as well. Has some gummy sweet pine sap hops everywhere. Very tasty.

A standout at the HBF. Pours amber with hop floaties. Awesome hop, pine, fruit aroma. Tastes very hoppy, piney, with some spice, fruit, and a mouth full of real hops at the finish. Well hidden alcohol, super hoppy, and a nice complexity. Just an incredible brew!

ALso sampled at the HBF. This was one of my favorites of the festival. Awesome hop aroma whcih comes from chinook in the dry hop. I talked to the brewer- and he said that they had just dry hopped this 3 days before the festival. Deep amber color, lots of malt and hops with a nice bitter hop bite to it. Awesome

06 State College Brew Expo. Pours a hazy amber with an average off white lacing head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit and very earthy. Flavors of the same with a nice bitterness coming through and again very earthy. Did not realize when I had this that it was a IIPA.
