Jun 17, 2008 Found this one bottled at Sam’s Wine in Downers Grove, Illinois. A nice copper pour with a thick white head. Pronounced piney hops in the nose. A nice balanced taste early fades into a biting hop flavor. Nice, bitter finish. All in all, a nice, solid and not overdone IPA.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours copper with a medium white head. Aroma of pine, prunes and sweet malt. Tastes old, kind of musty, grassy, sweet finish, not much bitterness. Not one I would get again.

Jun 5, 2008 Pours a golden amber in color. A vigorous pour leads to two inches of bubbly head. Plenty of spotty lacing all over the glass. Smell is mostly all malts, but with a piney hop finish.
Taste is identical to the smell. Very big malt taste up front, then finishes with a piney hop bite. Not overly hopped, but enough in the finish to enjoy. Mostly bitter tasting in the end, moreso than juicy or grassy. Decent beer.

May 25, 2008 Amber color. Smell of hops, malt, pine, citrus and brown sugar/caramel. Loved the smell. I could taste some citrus, malt and flowers.

May 21, 2008 One of the nicer looking pours of IPAs I have had. Nice orange hue with a golden uneven head that leaves a sticky lacing. A big aroma of grapefruit and pine. It is a very smooth beer to drink and is more creamy than oily. This is definitely a very well hopped beer but offers enough malt to offset much of the tartness. Grapefruit, pine, and floral notes. Bitterness is not significant. Hats off to the O’fallon crew!

May 17, 2008 Yes, an IPA by any other name.......certainly a hoppy experience. Smell of pine and floral hops. Pour is interesting with it’s gunk on the bottom and all. Taste is like any other IPA, may even border on impy IPA territory. Rude crude and difficult to drink. Offensive finish that reminds me of green mouth coating grapefruit rinds. Hangs for quite a while. Right on style!

May 15, 2008 Hazy amber with thin off-white head. Hoppy aroma of citrus, pine, floral hops with a little malty sweetness behind it. Taste of pine, citrus and mild floral hops with a sweet finish that isn’t too bitter at first but as it lingers gets a bit stronger. Creamy texture with some astringency. Drinkable but not outstanding.
