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.

May 21, 2007 22oz bottle. Pours with a light haze and a nice orange color with minimal head. Though the head comes to life as it warms with just a quick swirl of the glass. Sweet aroma with light citrus. Pine with citrus peal notes are predominate in the flavor. Fairly bitter with minimal malt presence. Medium body with a dryish finish. A fair brew.

Oct 18, 2008 This beer strikes me as strange in that the aroma is massively hoppy but the hops are so well concealed in the flavor that I barely notice them despite it being 80 IBUs. Such a smooth drink, very grapefruity but not in a cloying way. One of my very favorite IPAs.

Dec 3, 2006 Clear amber pour with a lasting head that provides excellent lacing. Heavily hopped nose is filled with rose petals, pine and orange/lemon/lime citrus. Earthy yeasts and soapy hops in body. This really lacks the malt definition which vaults IPAs into a higher tier for me. Lots of rose petals and orange rind in the hot alcoholic finish.

Jun 8, 2004 Deep golden brown with a tight head. Fruity aroma full of cascade hops. Fruity citric hop flavor leads into a bready mlat body. Finishes with a big floral hop flavor and a nice bitterness. Very nice, well balanced IPA

May 9, 2004 Wonderful hop aroma with great clear amber colour. Dreadful flavour which leave you thinking looks are often deceiving.

Oct 21, 2004 Now this is how an IPA should be! Beautiful fluffy pour with tons of lacing. A cascade aroma you could sniff all day - herbs, pine and grass are abundant. Very tangy hop bite grabs and takes hold of you, starts fairly fruity but ends spicy and tingly. Hops leave a nice, resinous, pine cone residual. Definately a winner. Thanks to Derek Arent for the brew.

Aug 27, 2005 Bottle: Massive aromas of freshly harvested hops. Very "planty" (to quote my wife) -- like you have a virtual pine forest in a glass! It has a cloudy gold color with a small white head. About halfway in between the drink, there is some sweetness. This is really good -- what a classic IPA should taste like. Kudos to Pelican brewery and thanks to Indiana_Red for sharing.
