Sep 10, 2009 Poured from Bottle into Tulip glass.
Pours a medium orange that glows in the glass and has a finger of off-white head that slowly dissolves into a fine layer atop the glass. Aroma is full of resinous hops, pine, sap, and some touches of bready malt. The flavor is a nice combination of malt and sticky hops upfront and finishes with nice piney bitterness. Its medium bodied and lightly carbonated with a slight dry finish. Pretty tasty stuff. The nose is very hoppy and the flavor is nicely balanced.

Aug 26, 2009 Poured from a bottle in to a pint glass.
Clear copper with thick white head and lots of lacing. Smell of instant hops and pine that quickly turns sweet with citrus and melon. Medium mouthfeel. Slightly oily with moderate carbonation. A very wet finish. Tastes of mild hops, pine, grassy, citrus, and floral. It has a very nice malt base.
This is a very drinkable IPA. Just the right balance of hops and malt to enjoy sip after sip. At 6.7% ABV I could see this one catch up and blind side you before you know it. I really enjoyed this one.
