Aug 7, 2009 bomber. hazy and orangey with a nice white head. Aroma is of grapefruit hops, not too abrasive. ..but maybe thats because ive been drinking a lot of pliny the elder recently... hops persist in taste but there is also a lovely caramel/licorice malt profile. Finishes clean and bitter. Very smooth. understated but one of the best balanced beers ive had.

Aug 7, 2009 Draft at Jupiters in Champaign, IL. Pours a hazy orange amber with a dissipating off white head. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Aroma of floral hops and fruity esters. Flavor of toffee countered by a bold grapefruity bitterness. Semi dry hoppy finish that is not too clingy. Enjoyable.

Jul 30, 2009 Pours a wonderful gold, thick never ending white head. Light hoppy smell. Bitter at first but not overwhelming....not as bitter as i had hoped but good taste with a dry finish.

Jul 29, 2009 Nice yeasty citrus nose! Beautiful opaque hazy gold colour. Grapefruit, honey, and smooth malt on the tongue with a crisp dryfinish. A little pricey but well worth the cost.

Jul 29, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pourse a medium gold with a reasonably long-lasting white head. Aromas of grapefruity American hops comethrough through noticeably in the nose, along with some nice background notes of English character malt. The palate starts of assertively bitter, and then melds malt sweetness and complexity with the bitterness to achieve a balance that I would say is about 60/40 hops to malt. The finish is fairly dry. A very well-done American version of a classic and all-too-rare English style.

Jul 29, 2009 Light golden appearance. candies, citrus zest, orange, honey. Very sharp & clean, crisp. Hop forward. Pretty good. A little weak, but better than most IPAs.

Jul 29, 2009 The only negative thing I can say about this beer is that it’s not cheap here in Ontario.
But so what?
Smells like a trip to the hop forest and tastes bitter - not "Brutal", but beautifully bitter.
A wonderful dry finish that leaves the taste buds clamoring for more (okay, it made my mouth water).
Wonderful stuff.

Jul 28, 2009 A golden beer with a small head. Aroma was fruity, yeasty, & sweet. Taste was sweet, fruit, & a tiny dash of chocolate in the taste. Very nice & smooth. As you get to the bottom of the glass it does get more & more bitter but not much. Nice lacing.
