Jun 15, 2009 Bottle, with Alaskanwarren in Denver. Shiny copper, white head. Fresh woodsy nose, grapefruit and a surprising peppermint brightness. Crisp, bright hop flavor, something sharp and wintery about it. Cold steel, mint. Light/medium body with a gentle touch of sweet. As much as this is a beer with a lot of flavor impact, it isn’t just a shouting match—it really has an excellent sense of poise. Remarkably good IPA.

Jul 29, 2008 Bottle, thanks Dr. Bill! Light golden color with a wispy foam that lasts well. Very nice nose, which is dominated by very bright woodsy hops, with other light notes of resin and lemon from the hops. Flavor hoppiness and bitterness is very bold and impressive, and lingers in the finish very well. The hops are raw, pure, well utilized and again, they linger well after the swallow. Flavor hops are similar to the nose and can best be described as very woodsy. A minor critique, it doesn’t have a lot of body, but the finish makes up for it. Overall, really nice IPA.

Feb 14, 2009 On draft at Teresa’s. Poured light orange with egg-white head. Nose of fresh grapefruits. Flavor consists of freshly sliced fruits: orange, grapefruit, even some pineapple noticeable. Probably underrated as some people try incorrectly to compare it to the Plinys. One of the best IPAs out there.
