Bottle. Pours a medium amber with a off-white head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit and a hint of malt. Tastes of medium hops and malt with a slightly bitter finish.

Dec 19, 2009 On tap at the new Brewery! Pours a nice darker amber with a good head. I like head. Wonderful hop aroma, with a decent hop/bitterness bite to it. Solid malt backbone. Overall this is a very nice, drinkable IPA.

Dec 5, 2009 Amber color in the glass. Bold hoppiness with a nice level of brightness. A fine example of an IPA.

Nov 28, 2009 Hand pumped cask conditioned barrel at the Gingerman in Austin, TX. Beautiful orange amber cascade settled to a hazy light copper under a creamy off-white head. Thick curtains of lacing. Aroma of pine and grapefruit. Citrusy flavor with milk chocolate and lightly toasted malt. Velvetty rich texture and a smooth, mildly bitter finish. My first hand pumped cask conditioned IPA and hopfully not my last. A very pleasant surprise in the heart of Texas.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Kaggie69: Pours a brilliant yet muddy shade of orange, like pumpkin from a can. The head settled in a very thin, not so full sheet above. Nose was of orange soda and sweet flowers. Flavors were of a powdery floral nature giving way to hints of jasmine and orange. Much more floral and powdery than citrusy and/or pine resin..the alcohol is sometimes peppery in the back of the throat. Has a bit of a stale/cardboard-like character to it, but it’s not overly distracting. Bitterness is surprisingly strong.

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.
