Medium amber yellow pour with a thin head. Smell is oranges, caramel and honey. Flavor is oranges and lemon. Palate is a hint thin and bubbly. Hoppy overall but a bit too mild and underplayed for me.

Jun 4, 2008 Pours a nice orange color and is mostly opaque with a light beige head. Smell is sweet orange malt and light hops, but more malty in the nose. Taste is quite hoppy with big citrusy and bitter orange rind flavor, with malt playing much less than in the smell. Good body and carbonation, and an enjoyable IPA.

Jun 2, 2008 Bottle. Bright citrus nose, sweet orange. Perfectly clear gold with a thin white head. Very bitter, dry, and harsh. Orange peel dryness, some vague sweet notes. Palate is rough but the flavor is pretty nice.

Jun 1, 2008 Throwdown. NIce resiny hops. Good clean bready malts. Balanced finish, but a bit leaning to the hop.

May 28, 2008 Sampled at Dickinsonbeer’s Hoboken gathering. Lightly hazy orange in color. Aroma- alot of citrus, earthy hops, mostly grapefruit. Taste is alot of citrus-grapefruit, lightly earthy, with a smooth moderate bitterness throughout. Nice malt backbone, medium bodied. Very straight forward but that single dimension was quite enjoyable.

May 27, 2008 Shared with my pals DrBayern and doboy @ Matts house. Pours from bomber rather a hazy orange that settles down. Nice foamy head, lacing is terrific. Aroma of pungent pine resins, grapefruits and wet forrest. Flavour was explosive, hop hammer bitterness delight! Pine resins, hops, caramels malts and grapefruit. One helluva IPA, would love to try it on tap. WOW!

May 27, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a beautiful clear light orange color with a very attractive white head and fantastic lacing. Simply beautiful. Nose of citrus hops and fruits, with hints of pine. A treat for the nose. Mouthfeel is medium bodied but very smooth. Flavor is a good as the aroma, with much of the same great hops. Long light bitter finish makes this one of the easiest drinking IPAs I have ever seen. A simply wonderful brew and darn I only had one bottle. Got to get more.

May 26, 2008 Thanks to hopdog for passing this one onto me. Pours a hazy orange/amber with a medium creamy/bubbly off white head that left a bunch of spotty lacing. Aroma of orange, pine, lots of fresh American hops, caramel and lightly toasted notes. Flavor of pine, mixed citrus, nice and hoppy, caramel, lightly toasted malt and moderate hop bitterness.
