Pours a lightly hazy reddish orange with a fluffy meringue like head leaving sheets of lace down the glass. The aroma is dominated by citrus and fruity aromas with lots of raw hop aroma. the flavor is lightly roasty and earthy with a strong grapefruit bracing bitterness (perhaps the most bitter of all the Sierra Nevada beers?) The beer is lightly spicy with light fruity and mineral flavors. Really tasty stuff.

Dec 23, 2009 Pours amber-orange with tall foamy head. Aroma is floral hops. Flavor is very hoppy, balanced with some sweet malt --notes of caramel, grass, grapefruit and spruce. Very good, however I’m only luke warm on IPA’s so not my cup of tea.

Dec 23, 2009 Bottle pours copper orange with a tall tan head. Aroma is heavy on citrus and floral hops. Taste is slightly malty with a grapefruit citrus finish that is heavily bitter. Very enjoyable IPA with a complex hop presence.

Dec 21, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours an amber color with a large white long lasting head. It has a grapefruit hop aroma along with a bit of a caramel aroma. It has a very nice grapefruit and pine taste along with a resin and grass flavor. I really like this beer and am glad I bought a whole 12 pack of it. I will probably but this one again.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle, World Market - Very NICE floral, hoppy aroma. Light head, orange to light amber color. Taste was nice and hoppy with other spices. The label does not indicate that this is an IPA so I wasn’t expecting such a strong hopped up beer. Nice bittery snap but long hoppy after taste I don’t perfer. Overall a pretty good beer. Back to the label, I bought this beer for my wife who rarely drinks beer and for sure isn’t a hop head. Wish I knew ahead of time; but leaves more for me. Merry Christmas!

Dec 20, 2009 Pours a really pretty teak or light mahogany with orange tints; pretty frothy white head. Aroma holds pine, resin, orange, grapefruit, and other citrus sweetness; not aggressive, but good presence on the nose. Flavor has much more power, with great notes of spruce, grapefruit, and some floral kick closer to the finish. Palate isn’t especially full, but has a nice bitter finish, and is quite drinkable. Delightfully tasty and well crafted IPA overall.
