May 23, 2008 12-oz. Thanks, Skoi! This one saved the day for ipas a little bit. Cloudy orange body with some brightness to it, and a nice modest creamy white head. Dusty peach nose--not quite full-on into grapefruit territory, but that’s lurking just around the corner from here. Nice caramel underneath the mid-palate, with fairly generous peachy tang on top of that. Crisp, refreshing finish. Good stuff.

May 17, 2008 This golden orange beer has a pungent aroma of hops, even from some distance from the glass. Lots of hop aggressiveness, with plenty of floral notes, pine spice, and exotic fruit from the hops. The stuff just tastes really, really, fresh. Good weight on the tongue and a lingering finish that achieves some balance from the small amount of neutral backing malts in the beer.

May 17, 2008 Bottle sample pours clear amber. Nose is smelly, oily, vinuous hop oil character, resinous and tangy but not altogether well-formed. Sharp mouthfeel and tangy and somewhat fruity with tobacco and tea leave and a light dose of caramel malt, but overall it’s a bit plain.

May 13, 2008 Ride ’em, Pachederm!
Hazy orange appearance, fulsome, fresh white head.
Fresh, vibrant, floral aroma...lively...orange, tangerine, mango....abso-lovely.
Tastin’...more of the same. Fresh, delicious, fruit aplenty. There’s some mango in there, with the orange and grapefruit,
just gorgeous.
Very even-keeled, despite it’s 7% abv,...no, wait, maybe not....but it’s still smooth, and tasty, and memorable.
An ideal IPA. I could grab this in a pinch with nary a quarrel.

May 1, 2008 Deep golden color with a creamy off white head. Boy the nose in this beer just screamed christmas tree when I first poured it with citrus hops coming out as it warmed. Tons of hops in this beer. Candied orange peel, pine, grapefruit, some lemon peel, bread and caramel sweetness. This is a true hop head IPA.
