Jun 8, 2007 Stanky and sour aroma full of caramel malt and english hops. Light bubblegum. Hazy amber in color with little head. Very malty flavor, rich and caramely, with a dose of mostly floral and herbal hops. Lingering sour apple and faint hop bitterness. Almost an american style amber. This would be a nice tap microbrew but bottled it needs a bit more oomph. Thanks markus.

May 22, 2007 poured an amber color with small white head, very nice aroma and a strong flavoring hops/malt combination but it was a little weak in the bittering hops. It may be that I am expeting an American IPA at this point though.

May 16, 2007 Thanks go to bu11zeye for this Texas beauty. Poured a clear effevescent amber with a fizzy white head. Really fruity aroma with big notes of tangerine and perhaps a bit of grapefruit... really, really tangeriney. Flavor is refreshingly dry and bitter with notes of bitter grapefruit, a bit of that tangerine, and perhaps some pine, with just a shade of dry toffee in the finish. An easy drinking IPA that doesn’t try to overwhelm you but offers nice floral and fruity hop flavor and a refreshing bitterness that acts as a beautiful session companion. Nicely done.

May 11, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Cornfield. Thanks Carl! Fruity sweet aroma. Hops are present in the nose but not overly pervasive. Very cloudy amber with a thin whispy layer of slightly off-white head. Not much lace. Hop profile is much more prevalent on the tongue than in the nose. This is an excellent beer with nearly perfect balance. Somewhat breaks down mid-glass. Too softly carbonated. I bet this is nice freshly out of the tap. As it is, a very solid effort and well deserving of its top 20 ranking for Texas brewed beers.

Apr 26, 2007 Decent IPA. Not as hoppy or overpowering as some other IPAs. Slightly thin and carbonated mouthfeel. Not as complex, but still very flavorful.

Apr 25, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a light amber color with some light haze. Nice head and good lacing. Hops in the aroma, but not as strong as I expected. Taste was similar, with some berry notes mixed into the citrus. I liked this beer, but a little more in the way of flavor could have made it a lot better.

Apr 21, 2007 12oz bottle, lots of large, suspended yeast on the bottom. Pours buttery gold with a smallish, pervasive head. Aroma is very fragrant, lots of sweet floral notes, maybe a touch of pine. The flavor starts with a nice maltiness, followed by an initintially intense, but short lived bitterness and floral and piney flavors. The finish is resiny and there is a lingering bitterness. Good stuff, thanks Tim!
