Feb 26, 2008 Bottle. Medium off-white head with lacing, copper body. Aroma is perfumey hops- citrus-pine- with a background of sticky caramel flavor. Flavor is simple, nicely substantial caramel malt, light flavor of toasted bread, mild resiny hop-flavor, finish is fruity - with orange zest, passionfruit, mango- with light lingering bitterness. Probably my favorite widely-available IPA.

Feb 24, 2008 At Steves house, forget who shared it (LOL). Nice dark amber/copper colour. Aroma of pine resins, grapefruit and hop. Flavour was sweet, grapefruits and resins dominate, with a nice and smooth caramel character n the end. Nice beer, would love to try on tap.

Slightly hazy. Sparkling. Medium bitter flavor. Tastes of hops, resin, bubblegum, caramel malt, and pineapple. Medium body. Sticky texture. Average carbonation. Dry, bitter hop finish.

Feb 2, 2008 12oz bottle pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma is roasty, malty, sweet and has mild grapefruit hops. The taste begins with vague hop bitterness that builds into grapefruit citrus hop bitterness. By midway a river of medium roasted maltiness and sweet malts join the grapefruit juice bitterness created a pleasing combination. Very nice IPA with plenty of bold flavors of hops and malts.

Clear amber color with okay head. Taste and palate are very tea like - still and not very exciting. Somewhat chalky flavor and smell. Pretty decent overall - just nothing too special for me.

Nov 25, 2007 Deep amber coloured body with a very hazy orange tint - very nice! Decent sized tan head that tops the beer as well. Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavour up front with a good malt backbone, finishing with a pleasant sweetness and a rather strong apricot flavour. Aftertaste has more toffee and caramel tucked in with the hops than anything else. Overall, a good IPA - not enough hops for me, but the other flavours show very well, along with the good malt backbone. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 25 November 2007.
