Nov 8, 2007 12 oz. bottle, picked up somewhere in Champaign, IL. Copper/amber colored pour, decent white head. Nice grapefruit aroma and flavor with just a little bit of malt to back it up. Medium mouthfeel. Tasty IPA!

Nov 4, 2007 12 oz. bottle from among a bunch of IPA’s courtesy of moejuck! Pours hazy burnt caramel color, with a largish beige head that diminishes rapidly leaving a trace of lacing. Aroma of toffee and ripe fruit, citrus, clover, flowers and evergreen forest floor. Flavor of dusty caramel, with toasty notes, plenty of hops including floral and spruce with a bit of citrus rind in the finish. Medium body and gently assertive carbonation. This is a nice, enjoyable non-west coast IPA! Good on ya Joe!

Citrus hops nose, piney too, Dark amber, a small custard head. Starts a very bitter hit, loads of malt to mellow. Medium bodied, bitter, love the chewy texture. Very good.

Aug 16, 2007 Bottle from YourDarkLord. Thanks Edward, I am always up for trying new IPA’s, being the hophead that I am. Pours a deep caramelly amber with nice light beige head. Aroma is very heavy in the malt department, but a decent amount of Cascade hops blend in nicely. Medium bodied with a rich malty texture, getting near imperial territory. Initial flavor of dark caramel, toffee, and wet grains that transitions to a pleasantly sharp hoppy middle. Slight peppery bite on the finish, as well as some very subtle astringency and well water mineral notes. A very nice IPA that not only kicked up the hops, but the malt as well. A pleasant surprise that I would have no problem drinking again.

Aug 8, 2007 The draft is a golden color with a small head. The aroma is faint and hoppy. This beer is all bitterness with hops dominating the flavor. It finishes very dry and long. OK, but not a very exciting IPA

Jul 25, 2007 This one packs a punch. Flavor is lemon-citrus, with strong strong hops. Definite piney-hoppy flavor in there. Finish is a long hoppy bitterness. This one is very strong on the herbal-grassy hops. But at the same time, it doesn’t have the thin weakness that a lot of subpar IPAs have. Solid, but powerful.

Jul 9, 2007 On tap at Old Chicago. Cloudy yellow color with good head. Hops are upfront---and linger. Medium body is just right. The best of their brews that I have tried.
