May 21, 2008 The only negative was a cloudy pour with some bits. Unsure if it’s the dry hopping (don’t know if it’s filtered). Out of the gate there is a wondeful citrusy aroma that greets you. Bitterness is well balanced with the maltyness and lingers just a bit on the back of the tongue. I liked this brew.

May 17, 2008 12 oz bottle, via lb4lb. Pours a slightly hazy orangish body with a tight bubbled off-white head. Decent retention and some light lacing remained. Nice crisp grapefruit hop nose with a bit of candy sweetness lurking in the background. Big grapefruit flavor as well, it’s like taking a swig of straight juice up front. Lots of bitterness, but not so much that it detracts. Some sweetness and bready, slightly doughy yeastiness on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, a touch of clinginess on the finish, with moderate soft carbonation. Overall, a pretty nice drinker. Sharp and assertive hoppiness without a whole lot of distraction from the malt.

May 17, 2008 This beer poured a dark orange color. The aroma contains pines, oranges, and apricot. The flavor consists of some lemons and orange. This one doesnt bend itself too bitter, a well balanced beer. The finish is slighty bitter however. Overall a good IPA.

May 14, 2008 The beer pours an amber orange with a small thin white head. The nose is a sweet grassy earthiness. The taste is was you would expect from a light IPA with the hops coming out clearly the end is dry hoppiness.

May 11, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body with a small, but lasting, white head.
Smell: Definitely a hoppy aroma, here. Chopped grapefruit rinds and flowers soaked in pine resin. Some malted grains in the background, but it’s mostly hops.
Taste: Brief caramel maltiness before the burst of citric, pithy grapefruit, pine needles, and discarded Mother’s Day flowers. Medium but substantial hop bitterness that lasts until the finish. Small taste of lemon juice right at the end.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A decent, above average IPA from the great state of Texas.

May 10, 2008 12 oz twice-off bottle. Pours clear reddish amber color. Aroma of a sweet American IPA. Wonderful PNW hop aroma. Bold hop character sits on top of a pale malt flavor. Nice caramel, and some toffee notes. Light - medium bodied. very drinkable. Finishes more like an American Pale Ale than an IPA.
