Aug 15, 2008 Thanks to RiversideAK for this one.
Slightly hazy deep gold with a thick, creamy off-white head.
Well balanced, sweet malts, juicy fruity hops.
The flavor is well balanced also, finishes towards the bitter side.
Smooth, very drinkable.
I’ll have another!

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber with a frothy lingering head. Mild piney hop, bready malt aroma. Medium body. Well balanced flavor of bready malts with a nicely bitter hop taste. Worth a try.

Aug 1, 2008 Best looking drink I have seen in a long time - deep, golden cloudy body with lots of hop bits littering the profile. Billowing white head. Very floral drink, heavy lightly toasted caramel malt body. Lots of grapefruit citrus and heavy pine. Heavy duty hop-bomb for being listed a single IPA. Slight astringent sting with a piney finish well suited to the sweet caramel biscuit malt. very nice.

Jul 28, 2008 Poured a nice amber color with a lasting head and great lacing. The aroma was pretty hoppy with lots of floral and pine as well as a touch of grapefruit rinds. The flavor had more pleasant floral and piney hopsthat gave it a little "herbal" essence, as well as a biscuity malt character for balance. Some nice lingering hops on the palate. A nice smooth drinking IPA with great hop flavor.
