Medium amber, clear, decent head. Initial aroma was grapefruit and pine, faint biscuit malt. As it warmed, grapefruit receded, replaced by an earthy note. Flavor was similar, but the grapefruit was subdued and the earthiness more pronounced. Just a touch thin on the palate, needed some more backbone for my tastes. But not bad.

Sep 5, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy amber with 2 finger white head and nice lacing. Nose is floral and pine. Taste is floral hops upfront with some malt and pine in the finish. Medium mouth feel. An ok IPA. Everything seems a bit muted though.

Aug 30, 2008 On draft at the Half Moon. Yet another brewer that continually disappoints me. The appearance was amber in color, boring to nil head, weak retention and lacing. The aroma was caramel and floral hops. The flavor followed the aroma, caramel and floral the highlights, an astringency in the finish, mouthfeel quite light and undercarbonated. Snore.

Aug 30, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle a cloudy amber with a beige head. Aroma was of citrus hops with a touch of sweet malt. Flavor was sweet malt then a whole mouth full of grapefruit.

does not count  Aug 30, 2008 I seem to be the fan of this one. The aroma has a distinct hoppiness. Color average for an IPA. Once the hops hit the pallet the jaw muscles tighten. Smooth and and crisp, the hops are balanced well with the ale background. If someone hasn’t caught on to an IPA ride this is the one to get it going. Not to be confused with an APA. Toe to toe with Bell’s Two Heart Ale.

Aug 25, 2008 12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of hops and caramel. Poured amber/orange in color with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Sparkling. Flavor of bready hops and some caramel. Medium body. Thin texture. Average carbonation. Hoppy finish. NOT bitter.
