Oct 31, 2006 Cask at Flying Saucer, Addison. Poured a lightly-hazy medium amber with a creamy white head. Nose picked up light citrusy sweetness and lots of candy... came across as very sweet. Flavor found sweet grapefruit, mild diacetyl, and a moderate level of pine and floral bitterness... some toffee at the base. Lighter carbonation from the cask, but still came across as creamy on the palate. Enjoyed it!

Oct 26, 2006 Light amber, citrus and spice. A decent IPA but not spectacular, I don’t feel like writing an in depth description. I bought a six pack, but a single would have done the job. A little too bitter with not enough hop or malt flavor.

Oct 22, 2006 Okay, so I had this cask-conditioned first, so I’m a little biased, but I also had it in bottle to rate it properly amongst other IPAs I’ve had. Pours a nice dark reddish orange, which is pretty dark for an IPA. Aroma was slight to me, but had a good harmony between caramel and hop scents. Taste was great! Nutty, brown sugar, almost grainy feel, and kinda breadlike. The hops finish things out incredibly smooth. The flavors are held together better than most IPAs I’ve ever had. If you’ve had the bottle before, you gotta try this cask-conditioned. Unprecedented smoothness in an IPA. This is kind of beer that will get Texas slightly less laughed at in the brewing world.

Sep 30, 2006 An orangish amber pour with a slightly off white head that fades quickly leaving a lite lacing. An aroma of hops is all I got. A flavor that is sweetish malt with hops prevalent. The palate was pretty full and smooth. A well balanced well done beer.

Aug 27, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). Poured a medium to deep amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of grapefruit, all around citric, and lightly spicey. Tastes of citrus, pine, and light caramel. Nicely bitter with a light, underlying sweetness.

Aug 20, 2006 Bottle (12oz). courtesy of blankboy. Hazy bright amber with a smallish foamy white head. Juicy aroma of sweet (not sweetened - ripe/sweet) ruby grapefruit, some herbal resin character, solid malt, hint of apricot tartness. The ripe ruby grapefruit really comes out in the taste, very jiucy, medium-long finish, not too bitter - really nice. Average body, although it drops off a little early, very lively body, nicely astringent - another solid, easy-drinking IPA. Thanks, Paul!

Aug 8, 2006 Copper in color, with a good head. Flowery aroma, with a good balance of hops and malt. Finish is a bit tart.

Jul 31, 2006 12oz bottle via trade with 123456green! - Thanks Louis! -Pours cloudy amber with a good sized offwhite head that laces pretty well. Aromas of biscuit and caramel malts, and some spicy, citrus hops. Flavor is quite a nice balance between sweet caramel, and biscuit malts, and good grapefruit and pine hops. Also a touch of spiciness too. Finish is quite bitter and citrus. Good body and adequate carbonation. This is a pretty nice IPA and probably my favorite that I’ve tried from this brewer yet.
