Mar 22, 2009 Draught at the brewery. Gold with a white head. Huge hoppy aroma of pine and grapefruit. Dry, lightly toasted pale malt with lots of bitter, piney hop flavor. A little lighter bodied and dryer than RRIPA, with a very dry and clean finish and lingering bitterness. A pretty big hop charge, but the profile isn’t quite as interesting as RRIPA. Love the dry, clean malt profile though

Jan 27, 2009 Bottle courtesy Bman1113VR. Pours a clear dark gold with a frothy white head. Really nice citrus, grapefruit, pine aroma, thick and resiny. Hoppy, resiny, citrus pine taste with a nice malt balance. The malt is just enough to let the hops shine through. A really nice well balanced IPA and very easy drinking.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Aroma very baldly bitter hop-forward, only a touch of sweet/fruity malt way back there. Flavor still a touch overly bitterly hopped for me, but some fruitiness from probably both the hops and malt comes in more. Doesn’t go over the edge to bitter water though, so good, but not a great one for me.

Jul 29, 2008 Bottle. Sampled 7/28, bottled 7/23. 5 days in the bottle, ballin. Lots of fresh, grassy, floral, spicy, bitter hops and enough malt to give it some body. Excellently unbalanced. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Dry finish, very drinkable. Great IPA.
