22 oz. bottle coutesy of Hannot. Thanks Todd! Pour is a nice copper/gold. Decent, creamy looking head. Aroma of citrus, grass and grain. Slightly bitter, earthy. This seems to be more malty than most IPAs but pretty refreshing. Medium bodied and smooth drinking.

Jul 17, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, pale orange body with a scant white head.
Smell: Minor toasty malt hints with a backing of citrus and pine needles.
Taste: Thin toasted malt flavor and sweetness. Citric, pine hoppiness with a medium amount of hop bitterness. Finishes dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Pretty average India Pale Ale at best. Certainly not the most exciting beer to roll down my gullet that night.

Jul 16, 2008 Slightly hazy light gold with a thin light tan head. Sweet summer fruits in the unique, highly-enjoyable aroma which consists of peach, muskmelon, light citrus, and a subtle dry grassiness. The flavor is straightforward and even with dry graininess and some pine and citrus hops flavors that supports the exquisite aroma well. The body consists of well balanced malt, alcohol, and hops characteristics over the multi-layered fruit flavor profile--a very interesting and well put together beer. Thanks Lucy.

Jul 16, 2008 22oz bottle-An orangish amber body with a small ring for a head. Aroma of hops, citrus, pine, and malt. Taste of the same with a pine note and finish along with a nice dryness. A nice tasting IPA.

Jul 11, 2008 22oz from Bottleworks. Very nice pour, balanced looking if that makes sense, with a modest head, lively carbonation, and a deep amber color - it all screams just what I want during the dank months. And speaking of dank, there’s an especially resinous quality here, deeper than pine and getting perilously close to weed. I think it works quite well, though if I were to lodge a complaint I’d like perhaps another floral note or two. But this is deliciously bitter stuff, refreshing as hell and complex despite its drinkability.
