On Tap. Pours a pale amber with small white head. Aroma was light citrus and pine. Its not a hop bomb like i like. Flavor was decent maybe a bitter macro. better than bmc. Nothing special here.

Dec 21, 2009 I really like this beer. It has a definitive taste, unlike many beers that I have sampled. Definite floral tones. Pours orange with a persistent white and foamy head.

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.

Nov 16, 2009 App: golden orange, small white head.
Aroma: pineapple-hops, mild pine, malt, tiny amount of mango. Very nice.
Flavour: Hoppy and malty, fairly sweet with a nice bitterness to it. Perfumish with a candyfloss finish. Very unexpected, very delicious.
