Sep 11, 2008 Updated: Sep 15, 2008Pours a cloudy copper orange with a dense and frothy off-white head and some lacing. Aroma is medium sweet caramel and grapefruit and piney hops. Flavor is not as pronounced as the aroma but still bitter and a bit tannic. The beer still has a nice American IPA Hop and malt balance. Medium bodied, somewhat chewy texture. Finishes long and unfortunately tannic.

Aug 24, 2008 Beer pours a beautiful copper color...but oddly no head at all. A faint caramel malty smell with some piney notes. The flavor was a rich huge grainy malt profile with some citrus and pine like hops. Nice thick mouthfeel. I was liking this one.

Aug 21, 2008 [1595-20080816] 355mL bottle. Empty wooden barrel aroma has some light fruit skins and hops. Hazy, light brown orange body with a quick off-white foam. Light floral fruity flavour has a sweet aftertaste. Medium body is a little bitter. Fairly interesting brew.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours opaque golden orange, big fluffy white head. Aroma is hoppy (citrus) caramel, honey wheat pretzels.
Flavor is hoppy bitter with bready maltiness. Not bad, I give it my stamp. No peat here boys!

Aug 19, 2008 2008-08-16. Nice rich orange boy with a small beige head. (3+) Mild, muddy aroma of resiny hops and muted citrus. Similar flavour, some nice citrus highlights get subsumed by grainy malts and muddled resiny hops. Average palate. Meh. Okay. Bottle, Coles IPA Festival, Buffalo

Aug 12, 2008 On draft at the Iron Barley restaurant in St, Louis, MO this came at cellar temperature in a pint glass. This was marked "cask" version, and maybe there is such a thing but I don’t find it here so I will put my rating on this one.
The color was hazy orange with a very nice pillow head and good lacing. Nose of caramel malts and citrus hops. Smooth and clean mouthfeel. Lots of hop bitterness in the flavors with citrus, grass, pine, and some flowers. Long biter finish. Good midwestern IPA.

Aug 7, 2008 Lightly hazy orange amber with a big fluffy head. Aroma of sweet citrus and doughy malt with a hint of toffee. Flavor is a nice hit pine and citrus bitterness with a nice malt backbone. Medium bodied with a fair bit of carbonation and a satisfying, lasting hops finish. A really good IPA.

Jul 27, 2008 12oz bottle served in a shaker pint. Appeared to be bottle conditioned. Poured an orangish gold with a thin fine bubbled head. Nice citrus hop aroma along with some caramel, toffee malt.
Definitely on the malty side of the spectrum. Medium bodied with decent amount of carbonation. Good amount of hop bitterness that really shows in the finish. The hops are fairly drying in the finish. This isn’t a hop blockbuster, but very drinkable. Another example of why good, fresh, local beer rocks.
