22 oz. bottle from CelticBrew - thanks Jim!/. Clear orange/amber under a small white head that settles quickly. Some substantial caramel and toffee aromas, and a big citrus hop hit, with some suggestions of pine. Medium body, light carbonation, resinous, and just a generally very nice mouthfeel. Flavor echoes the aroma, as a sturdy malt base provides balance for the grapefruit bitterness. All in all, a very nice IPA, well balanced, not overly hoppy.

Aug 29, 2008 Amber with small head and fair lacings. Floral piney hop nose. Taste is piney grapefruit hops and the malts lend a touch of pineapple that gives this a unique flavor. A very nice IPA as the hops are plentiful but not overwhelming. Nice long bitter-sweet finish. Will be seeing more of this beauty.

does not count  Aug 26, 2008 Very clear dark amber color. Didnt think it was an IPA at first glance. Great hop flavor. Best finish of an IPA I’ve ever had. Love this beer

Aug 14, 2008 Bomber poured a clear copper with a lasting ring of amber foam. Aromas of earthiness, carmel, pine and light passionfruit. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, light pine and light citrus with a smooth dry lingering moderatly bitter finish.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy amber color, nice white head and great lacing. The nose is grassy and fragrant, plenty of pine and orange in the nose. Ample caramel notes with a nice malty body never taking the focus off of the hops. Not bitter in the tail, more balanced towards the piney dry hops. Balanced and yummy. A little citronella note in the tail, which isn’t my favorite as far as hop notes.

Aug 8, 2008 650 ml bottle. Hazy amber body with a firm off/white head. Aroma of sweet malt, grassy/floral hops and grapefruit. Flavor is sweet malty and quite bitter with grapefruit. Bitter finish. Relativly straight forward, no nonsense double IPA, but well made. Refreshing.
