Feb 13, 2007 Bottle from trader Joes; grainy malt nose with a small hop note; slightly hazed gold with a small white head; flavor was only a small amount of hop bitterness with a bit of caranel in the background. Pretty poor for an IPA.

Feb 12, 2007 golden orange with an almost coarse-looking head. Decent hop flavor but with a earthy/hay note not to my taste. Enjoyable but not one of the greats

Feb 7, 2007 12oz bottle. orange-golden hazy pour, white 1-inch residual head. strong aromas of chewy caramel, a bit of sweet chocolate, and just a little brown sugar goodness that perplexes me for an ipa. a little grassy, but more like pine sap and chewy, darker flavors like caramel, butterscotch, and a touch of darker malts. smooth mouthfeel, typical ipa as for its hoppiness. it’s a full-flavored, well rounded ipa with a slight bitter finish.

Feb 2, 2007 Nice Lacing, one finger head clinging nicely to the glass. Dark Orange amber coloring.
Grapefruit, citrus peel, pine sap taste, hoppy and bitter. Nose is more inviting to me, a bit of malty mango sweetness apparent here with just a note of dog ear.
True to form IPA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 |
Jan 29, 2007 Poured a clear effervescent golden with a large fizzy/frothy white head. Strong aroma of pine and grapefruit hops with a touch of sweetness. Flavor is quite bitter with some pink grapefruit citrus coming through with a touch of pine, some dry toffee. A bit of butter shows up in the mouthfeel, which detracts a bit from the score. Overall finishes dry with some toffee. Must give it credit for showing very little of the 7% alcohol. Overall quite standard and far from mind-blowing, but solid and decent.

Jan 25, 2007 Clear amber, large almost frothy head, barely average lacing and decent retention. Aroma is the usual bag of hops, but not as bi g as some others I’ve tried. Flavor brings this with a relatively high carbonation. Quite bitter finish. Decent enough, but there are a billion IPAs that are better.

Jan 25, 2007 bottle: pours a beautiful orange honey colour witha nice foamy head that stays for a while. very good aroma of hops. the flavour leads a bitter after taste but i can handle it. it starts bitter also with a little fruity finish.
