argo0 (6145), Washington DC, USA Jan 5, 2008 (22oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Small beige head atop cloudy amber body with some yeast the settles to the bottom of the glass. Aroma is moderately sweet, dry-hopped, pine, some grapefruit, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, orange, light dusky. Dry-hopping appears evident. Light-medium body. CaptainCougar (4624), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jan 23, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Walt: Pours a clear deep golden with a large pillowy white head. Nice, fresh green mild pine and grapefruity hoppy aroma. Starts sweet with some lightly toasted sticky caramel malt and an earthy, resiny bitterness. Finishes crisp dry and bittersweet. A nice IPA. hopdog (4525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 19, 2006 22oz bottle shared courtesy of Walt. Poured a medium and hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of pine, citrus, oranges, and some malts. Tastes of oranges some caramel, and some pine with a grapefruit finish. JorisPPattyn (4262), Antwerpen, Belgium Mar 5, 2008 Slight gushing to stupendously huge, yellowish, composite and tenacously clinging head over hazy orange-brownish beer. Very fresh-hoppy nose, very powerful C-hops, and strangely, some dry washing powder aroma. Bitter, fresh hoppy flavours, real lupuline in liquid form. Maybe lacking in backing, certainly in the palated, so it is a bit thinnish, despite a creamy (carbonation?) texture. Good, refreshing, if a little thinnish IPA. Shines probably brighter on draught. Rare one to have, thanks to the Dewberries!
