Jul 29, 2008 On tap at Horse Brass--Poured a West Coast IPA body light orange-golden with a frothy blanketing white head. Big citrus floral hoppy aroma. Similar to Pliny but with less of a malt spine. Grapefruit and pine notes rule this beer. Very smooth for how unbalanced it is. Yum!

Jul 12, 2008 On tap @ Tornado San Diego. Pours a clear golden yellow with a 2 finger white head. Bursting with floral and citrus hop aromas. A perfect balance between malt and hops on this one....well......maybe a bit heavier on the hops.....lol.

Aug 15, 2008 slightly hazed bronze with a very long lasting off white head that may slowy shrink but certainly leaves its mark on the glass. sweet and herbal hop nose. flavors here are on the spicey side of hoppy and suprisingly maybe a touch too balanced...or not...christmas pine flavors with bitterness only in the finish but such bitterness is rather grassy/earthy and the after taste is all bitter bite...but there’s no bite until then. other than christmas pine and the bite at the end, there isnt much to talk about...overall its clean with a more spicey hop character than is normal round these parts but other than that, its a bit one dimensional and uninspiring.

Aug 12, 2008 50 cl bottle courtesy of FlacoAlto - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a one and a half finger thick off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is big floral, fruity, and pine hops. Flavor is much of the same with some malt sweetness in there. Body and mouthfeel is a little lighter than I expected. Has an herbal hop finish. No unpleasant or lingering aftertaste. A very nice IPA. Thanks Sebastian.

Jul 26, 2008 16 oz. bottle. Pours clear with a medium orange tint and is crystal clear. Smell is incredibly fresh with bright orange citrus notes and light piney bitterness as well. Taste is very crisp overall, with a hoppy bitterness and grapefruit character. Not overly flavorful and didn’t blow me away exactly, but an extremely solid and well made beer. Tastes extremely similar to Pliny the Elder, to me, but with less malt backing and body, and with equal bitterness and flavors.

Feb 2, 2009 btl by BeerHawk. grapefruit and medium malt on the nose. An orange pour with gooey white head and lace. Malt and hops balance well, a nice bitter finish. A semi sweet tinge that lend to making this a very good beer. Just slightly foamy and a hint of thin. Very well balanced with a great bitter.
