Feb 3, 2009 650 ml bottle from Bev4less. Supposedly a freshly brewed batch. Bottle is a gusher. Pours a cloudy copper color with a big foamy off-white head. The aroma is strong with fresh citrus, earth and some sweet banana. The taste is hops forward with piney biter hops that are a bit harsh at times; supporting flavors of almonds, bubblegum and banana. The mouthfeel was just a bit on the thin side. The finish was medium in duration with lingering harsh biter hops. Overall: A very enjoyable IPA, but not a great one.

Dec 29, 2008 A very apt name considering it tastes like a forest floor. Lot of wood, lot of pine. Looks fantastic with a great head. Leaves a nice bitter tang in your mouth long after it is gone. Solid IPA with the bonus of being organic.

Dec 19, 2008 Bottle... Poured a foggy, burnt orange with a huge, i repeat, HUGE, white head. Aroma of peppery hops, and earthy, woodsy notes. Well carbonated and crisp hop flavors. Had a dab of maybe caramel sweetness, and buttery hops for balance. Dry finish that was herbal and hoppy.

Oct 28, 2008 The hops are so acrid it ruins the actual flavor of the ale. A good example how trying to simply get a bitter IPA can go all wrong.

Aug 30, 2008 Thanks to Zathrus13 for this bottle. Pours out a light copper color with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is of resiny/pine hops with a touch of sweetness. Taste is of nice piney/citrusy hops with slight caramel and a little bit of earth, with a bitter resiny finish. Very solid and drinkable IPA. Well done

Aug 29, 2008 22oz bottle. I wasn’t expecting such a good beer, very nice. Pours cloudy orange/amber with a huge, sudsy white head, sticky spider web lace. Smells slightly nutty and astringent, citrusy hoppy. Tastes super bitter, slightly nutty, grassy and damn bitter! Just a hint of sweetness. Medium body, mouth paralyzing bitter, vibrant carbonation
