Jul 9, 2009 Large head that leaves lacing as dwindles. Aroma of pineapple. Orange clear. Wonderfully bitter from beginning to end. Balanced flavor.

Jul 8, 2009 Yeah, this is a top notch drink. One small, teeny, tiny, notch below the Elder but still and incredible drink. Tasty grapefruit and citrus hops. Blast of orange peel aroma. Cloudy orange color with a creamy white head that gives an added texture to the drink. Lots of hops here but I completely missed the malt profile and wonder if that could be put up front a little more for some balance.

Jul 8, 2009 Bottle (500ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow & tupalev -- c/o tupalev. Pours a slightly hazy orange with an average size bubbly white head. Lovely aroma of resiny hops, fruity and malty as well -- amazing! Flavour: Delicious, juicy hoppy goodness, so easy to drink, the alcohol is totally hidden. Nice full mouthfeel. Fantastic!

Jul 4, 2009 Bottle from Dillon Ridge in Dillon, Colorado.
Pours a color gradient, from orangey-copper under the huge cap of infinitely-lasting white puffy head to a cloudy gold at the bottom. Strong smell of both clean piney hops and citrusy hops. Flavor is smooth and incredibly bitter at the same time, with a warming finish. Flavorful, wheaty malt makes a great base for the apricot and grapefruit citrus notes. Easy to drink for an IPA!

Jul 4, 2009 Bottle from IrishBoy. Thanks! Just found this rating hidden in my ratings book. Pours a deep, thick, lively apricot orange with a nice white head. Aroma is sweet citrus tempered by a definite sour grapefruit and semi-sweet pine resin. Hints of orange juice in there as well. Flavor is a cornucopia of grapefruits, oranges, peaches, pine, and a touch of strawberry. Thick, lingering mouthfeel that simply sticks the flavors onto the tastebuds. I will never turn one of these down. Ever.
