Light amber beer with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet grapefruit. Flavor is grapefruit and slight malty sweetness. Finish is fading bitterness. Very pleasant IPA (and that’s a compliment).

Dec 11, 2009 Pours slightly hazy straw color with contrasting white head.
Nose is citrus, focused toward lemon.
Palate is rather timid in terms of hop presence, very citrus-acidic but not the same amount of accompanying citrus flavor with the acidity. Some grapefruit. Has a macro-lager like characteristic that is unwelcome.
Light bodied. Watery.

Dec 9, 2009 This would make an excellent starter IPA for the introduction to bitterness. Nice orange color. A nice medium hit of hop hits you then it mellows out nicely.

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.
