beeranarchist (176), Aalborg, Denmark Aug 17, 2007 Can. Amber with huge head, brilliant clarity. Extremely floral and piney aroma, there’s some grapefruit too and behind all the hop aroma some caramel aroma too. The bitter, hoppy flavour is well balanced with a malty backbone, VERY good. Lowere carbonation than other american ales, which really suits the beer.
ogglethorp (776), Ohio, USA Aug 18, 2008 Can. Pours a coppery color with a decent sized tan colored head. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, caramel. Flavor is grapefruit, hint of pineapple, caramel, pine. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished bitter. This is one of the best exaples of the style. Terrific session beer! timsilvia32 (183), born in Michigan, North Carolina, USA Aug 17, 2008 Cloudy gold pour. Very floral, small amount of citrus nose. Tastes similarly. Some nice maltiness, pine. Medium bodied, a little stickiness. Good clean finish. One of the best pales I’ve had in quite a while, not that I drink them all that often. kassner (136), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 15, 2008 Took this beer in cans to the beach aat isle of Palms, SC.
What a great balanced IPA. Nice Hops and a good amount of malt. Finishes clean. OK on the beach but a little too much beer for an all day event. mmm///beer (521), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 15, 2008 12 oz. can poured into shaker- poured transparent when held to light, medium carbonation, very thin white head that laced some. Aroma of floral, hops, and earth. HIts the mouth with a low-medium body, malt is very nice, hops are very nice, notes of pine and sweetness on the backend, finish has some acidity- which is very nice. MrChopin (155), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 15, 2008 Fire-amber with a decent-sized, long-lasting white head. Nose is strong, sweet, and a little clean, with standards like caramel and grapefruit, but also with an earthy, "field"-like scent. Flavor has some great balance with citrus, caramel, bread, and a slight hint of pine/flowers. Somewhat bitter and full bodied, this is definitely a winner.
