Aug 15, 2008 Updated: Aug 20, 2008Malted hop aroma, faint grassy smell. Flavour comes out weak...like hitting a brick wall and just sliding down. Mouthfeel is a bit slick and medium bodied. Some fine bitter notes in the aftertaste; but comes across more like a watery Pale Ale than a proper IPA. File under "meh..."

Aug 14, 2008 This is a respectable beer, but it just doesn’t have enough hops to satisfy - something that is rarely said about west coast IPA’s. Very drinkable though.

Aug 7, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours an amber color with a light white head. Aroma of hallmark IPA scents, e.g. citrus and floral, though in this case, not overwhelmingly so. This IPA has a more airy character and seemed a little lighter bodied than other IPAs on the market. Balance b/w hops and malts was fairly balanced with just enough hoppy flavor to taste more like an IPA. I think it is fairly underrated and a pretty tasty brew.

Jul 29, 2008 Poured reddish amber with a one-finger head that dissipated quickly and left little lacing - problem with the glass? Very pleasant grassy hops aroma. Hops dominate the taste, with generous toasted malt sweetness and subtle fruit flavors. Medium carbonation and body, well-balanced malt/hops aftertaste that leaves a very satisfied palate. All this and 7%!

Jul 29, 2008 Brawny yellow, cloudy body. Medium white head. Strong floral fresh hop aroma. Caramel sweetness with a bready malt backbone. Moderate astringent pine hop bite with a light resiny residue.

Jul 27, 2008 Pours a transparent copper color with a thin white head. Aroma is of piney hops, as is the taste. There is a hint of citrus, and a hop bite in the aftertaste. A decent IPA, but lacks a great balance.

Jul 20, 2008 Pours copper with small white head. Aroma of piney hops. Flavor is some piney hops with a little bit of citrus present. Actually seemed to be balanced very well to me. I did enjoy this one alot.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle. Light copper pour with a big white head. Aroma is mild and all hops. Has an initial sweet taste that is quickly swept away by a dominant floral bitterness. Flavor is pretty good, id have to attribute the lower style score to a thin body, but this would make a great session beer.
