clear copper, wispy white head, bits of drippy lace,
light citrus hop aroma with a hint of sweet crystal malt,
creamy body,
sweet caramel malt flavor, balanced by citrus and floral hops, nice long biter finish,
tame for an IPA and more like a pale by anyone else’s standards

CelticBrew (450), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Nov 20, 2007 Pours a hazy yellow gold, aroma of hops, pine resins, and wet forrest. Flavour is full bodied, grapefruit and sweet malts. Yikes, easy drinking beer! Very nice IPA! Odeed (1473), Bakersfield, California, USA Oct 29, 2007 (bottle from country club in bakersfield)murky orange/yellow with a small white head.small pine hop aroma with some earth and hay.flavor is of pine hops,earth,spearmint,and some black liquorice.not bad i guess. elnadeau (786), Laguna Niguel, California, USA Oct 15, 2007 Bottle from Hi Time Cellar. Copper pour (I was cutting copper tubing for a homebrewing project while drinking this one), smallish white head. Aroma leans on crystal malt, hops in background. Balance is good here, bitter but sweet caramel handles it. Medium mouthfeel, overall quite satisfying. Could use more hop aroma, but that otherwise this is a nice beer.
