Bottle from 2007. Pours a clear copper with a smallish light-tan head. The nose is nicely balanced with some caramel, citrus, and pine needles. A bit on the thin side. Nice balance though. Starts with some caramel maltiness and finishes with a big Cascade presence. Lots of citrus, pine and graininess throughout. Solid stuff. Ran through quite a few cases of this stuff over the last couple of months.

Oct 6, 2008 Perfect pour @ the Houston Saucer! Color is a deep coper amber with a very nice creamy head. Nose is of very floral hops, citrus ,grassy& grapefruit. Taste is fruity citrus, tangerines as well as grapefruit,with a great dry finish. body is full for an IPA and drinks nice. Perfect with the Manchego & mustard, salame spread they offered.

Oct 6, 2008 2008 bottle. Pours copper, amber with white head. Nice dry hop aroma. Taste is hoppy, with a big caramel malt backing. Finish is lightly bitter, and mouth is pretty thick. Hops are citrus and a little grassy. Very well balanced, moderate IBU IPA.

does not count  Oct 6, 2008 Aroma gives off citrusy and slightly toasty notes with a healthy dose of floral hops. It’s a medium bodied copper-orange beer that pours an average but persistent head that laces well. A balanced mix of floral and bittering hops give it a strong dry punch up front and then slowly dissipate to reveal a very rich malty taste that is also a little on the roasty side and takes its time to finish. This is one of the most well balanced IPAs I have ever had.

Oct 6, 2008 Says 2008 on the bottle. Thin head. Crisp dark amber. Delicious hop aroma with a caramel malt backing. Woody hop flavour. Nice malt balance. A bit bitter and mouth drying but tasty.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light amber with a quickly receding one finger beige head. The persistent layer that’s left does leave decent lacing. Nose is light malt and floral hops. Taste is sweet citrus, apricot and toffee with a pink grapefruit finish. Medium, sticky mouth feel. This is a well-balanced IPA. Very good.
