May 17, 2008 Bottle, labeled "hop express". Poured a clear amber with a small fizzy white head. Pleasant aroma of lemon and grapefruit, a bit of grass. Flavor is surprisingly smooth, even if mildly underpowered. Notes of grapefruit rind, fresh cut grass, some light lemon, the slightest bit of toffee... no metallic or ashen flavor to the bitterness, which is surprising, as I usually find it in these obscure IPA’s. Very easy-drinking, and could be a nice introduction to IPA’s for those who are a bit squeamish about overwhelming bitterness.

May 16, 2008 bottle courtesy of jwale73. Thanks!
Pours an attractive semi hazy amber orange with a short lived whitish head. Smell is mild and pleasant fruity and grassy hops and some sweetness as well. Taste is fruity and sweet with malty grapefruit juice like flavor and a nice hop flavor and bitterness following to finish. Has a nice solid bitterness and a bit of a dry grapefruit flavor. Average to slightly full body and moderate carbonation and pretty easy to drink. Nice IPA.

May 4, 2008 bottle from jjpm74. Pours a copper amber with an off white head. Aroma of floral hops and caramel malt. Flavor of caramel and toasted malts countered by a spicy and citrusy bitterness. Strong tea flavors on the finish. This leans somewhat toward an APA, with the exception of the alcohol.

Apr 8, 2008 Bottle from hopdog. Pours a shade of amber with a thin head. Aroma of light citrus, melon, and light caramel malts. Solid medium pine and citrus bitterness. Little bit of malt shows up. Floral hops round out the finish and a sweet melon/caramel malt flavors shows up and takes off. Pretty decent.

Mar 13, 2008 Bottle, no mention of the buckwheat but the description matches up. Poured a nice amber hue with a thin white head which had no retention. Pine like aroma with some mild malt notes. Flavor was nicely hoped but never over powering. Somewhat light on the palate. A nice crisp drink that.

Mar 3, 2008 Updated: Dec 11, 2009One of the best IPA’s I have had.Smooth, hop filled and excellent all around. This is definaltey an IPA to try. But there is a world of difference between bottle and from a growler. Please do an IPA justice and go from a growler, its impeccable.
