Dec 3, 2009 A cloudy orange pour with a medium white head. It has a citrus and pine hop aroma. The taste is pretty mild for an IPA. It starts sweet and then gets slightly bitter with a small aftertaste.

Dec 2, 2009 Sampled on 12/2/09. This IPA pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head, with decent retention and decent lacing. The aroma is malty and grapefruity, somewhat sweet. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and not all that sweet. The hops are grapefruity and citrusy. Not a lot of malt and not a lot of hops. The hop bitterness is not very well balanced by the malts so you are left with a crisp, dry bitterness at the finish. It’s a drinkable IPA but I wish it had some more malt sweetness. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is bitter.

Oct 31, 2009 bottle: pint glass: had no idea this was macro when i bought it... however that became apparent after tasting. This is not a bad brew by any means, however nothing stands out... an IPA by the books.

Oct 30, 2009 What can I say? I’ve had this from the brewery on-tap and it bottles, for a macro-produced IPA this one’s not bad. There’s no special or unique qualities about it though, it’s decent but not wonderful. Malt backbone is thin, as it warms some of the early bittering hops give off a rubber balloon type flavor...which is not apparent in the aroma. Surprisingly quite thirst quenching for an IPA.
