Nov 4, 2009 With thanks to Blutt59. Appearance: Light red/brown with a small off white head and a tiny amount of visible carbonation. Aroma: A nice floral bouquet at first then followed by an earthy, breadiness with spice and lemons. Interesting. Flavour: Spicy hops! Nice zesty feel on the tongue with a delicious grapefruitiness that seems to linger well into the finish. Lovely.

Sep 1, 2009 In short: A nice hoppy nose but a yeasty and sweet fruity taste makes this a very average IPA
How: Bottle 12oz. Consumed fresh immediately after receiving it from Blutt59. Thanks a lot Bob
The look: Cloudy dark orange topped by a small beige head
In long: Strong nose with fruity esters and pine-cone tree. Taste is a bit of a letdown. Very yeasty beer (inappropriately so), sweet and dried fruits (mainly citrus), doughy, dusty, some pineapples, bready, a little weird fruity sourness. The pine-cone from the nose translates to sawdust in the taste. Mild bitterness and too sweet for its own good. Far from a refreshing brew it almost felt a bit heavy. So I read here that part of the profits of this beer goes to preserve an old boat called Elissa. It’s like with GM, using the working man money to save a sinking ship.

Aug 24, 2009 Clear orange with a fading, small off white head. Spicy hops with notes of citrus, caramel and toffee. Good carbonation, slight stickiness on the palate, but overall a nice enough mouthfeel. Pretty good

Aug 14, 2009 Methinks I got this in a trade. The aroma on this one is very floral, fruity, and citrusy, but they mix in and become subdued in the flavor due to the malt presence. Overall this is rather subdued for an IPA; it certainly didn’t bowl me over.

does not count  Aug 7, 2009 Bottle purchased locally, poured into shaker. Beer pours a hazy golden color with minimal head. Aroma is mostly citrus/hops. Flavor balances well between bitter/sweet. Medium body with a dry slightly more bitter finish. A beer I will definitely buy again.

Jul 14, 2009 Pours an orange-amber body and a fading white head. Citrus and caramel aromas. Similar flavor. The hops have fallen out a bit and it is a bit strong with the malt.

Jul 7, 2009 Pours slightly hazy amber with a thin white head. Orange aroma and mostly sweet. Taste is very well balanced with hop and thick malt. This bottle is probably old though with the hops not coming through like they seem they should have.
