very sweet aroma and flavor, grass and citrus. not sure if thecloudyness was intentional or if i had the bottom of the bottle (which i did) a little bit oily in the aftertaste, but a very solid and drinkable beer with a buttery aftertaste.

Aug 23, 2008 16.9oz bottle from the World of Beers bottleshop in clearwater. hazy orange pour with a big white head that sticks around a while. mainly a citrus hop aroma with just a hint of flower and honey. clean crisp bitter hop profile highlighted by tastes of grapefruit, biscuits, caramel. chewy medium texture. excellent balance. great stuff.

Aug 22, 2008 Pours orange / light bronze with a beige soapy head. The aroma has grapefruit, pine, green onions and musty malt. Medium body that is quite resiny with a moderate amount of sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with creamy caramel malt, earthy / piny hops, sour grapefruit and lots of sticky resin. The finish has a dry hoppiness than lingers for a lot time. A very nice IPA, I just wish it was priced so I could get it more often.

Aug 20, 2008 lots of head and lacing. sweetness and a round bitterness makes for a euro-version of an american ipa or double. Good, but not great.
