TwoDudes (77), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jun 20, 2009 Tap at RB Chicago. Poured a very pale yellow color. I was a little put off, as I expected a darker beer. Aroma is nice, while not being too outrageous. Very crisp IPA with the hops definitely dominating. Good stuff... holdenn (1431), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 13, 2009 On tap at RB Chicago a couple weeks ago and written onto the pages of my newsweek. Pours a hazed yellow orange with a white head that laces down in patches. Fresh abundant pine, grass, candy sugar, floral, and lemon aromas that are really inviting. The sweet pale malt flavors are more present than I expected. The pine citrus, and grass are strong but don’t offset the overly sweet malts and have an odd character combined with the alcohol to make them almost medicinal. The bitterness lingers. Overall a solid beer though. 8/4/7/3/14 pantanap (1323), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 6, 2009 draft at RB Chicago....pours a golden apricot orange with a frothy medium white head.... aroma of sweet tropical and citrusy hop nose... generally sweet citrusy and red grapefruit hop flavor, an ounce of lingering bitterness in the finish. a little too sweet for my liking but still pretty solid. chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 30, 2009 Pours cloudy yellow with a thick off white head. Serious citrus aroma. Pine in the flavor, but mainly citrus. I told my buddy it was like drinking grapefruit. A little oily, I really liked the flavor though. NobleSquirrel (1099), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 29, 2009 Draft at RBC. Pours a cloudy bright yellow with a nice foamy head. Nose is standard C-hops and Amarillo. Pine, citrus, tropical fruit & amarillo rubber. Taste is a bit dank, sharp bitterness and resiny. The slight rubbery sulfuric notes come through as well. Okay.
