Oct 13, 2008 Pale yellow arange color. Good lasting frothy head. Nice bubbling. Great aroma of hops, citrus, and pine, and mild malt. Flavor is piny, doughy and malty with an equal balance of hops. The beer is good, but more balanced and malty than expected. The nutty undertones don’t help any. It’s full bodied, and has a sharp finish.

Oct 13, 2008 500 ml fresh bottle from Bev4less. Pours a rich copper color with a big white head and incredible lacing. The aroma is hoppy with pine and some citrus. The flavor is biter hops forward with biscuit, caramel, walnuts and a good semi-sweet malty backbone. The mouthfeel is full and smooth. The finish is long and biter-sweet. Overall: This is a really good IPA when its fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oct 12, 2008 2008 Bottle. Pours a tranlucent copper/amber with golden notes and a medium foamy off white head that left sticky lacing down the sides of the glass. Aroma was wonderfully floral, some pine, grassy notes, light citrus, caramel and lightly toasted grains. Flavor of pine, mixed citrus, toffee, some nuts, toasted grains, caramel and a little grassy.

Oct 12, 2008 Aroma is sweet malt and pine hops. Beautiful head and golden red apperarance. Flavor... hmm, not as balanced as I would like, and the hops are a bit ’harsh’ or maybe resinous is a better word. Almost like sucking a pine cone. This could be better with a nice balance, I think. Goes down alright, though I do not really want to have multiple pints of it.

Oct 11, 2008 24oz. Bottle, 12th iteration. Rich amber pour with active carbonation and a quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma is a nice combo of citrus and hop with underlying caramel maltiness. Flavor is malty/lightly sweet at first, but finishes with a nice hop bitterness. Lighter than other fresh hopped brews that I’ve had. Full mouthfeel, and the carbonation isn’t as active as it looks, very smooth.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours a dark copper with a big, off white head. Citrusy, sticky aroma. Flavor is very bitter with some grasiness. I can taste some vegetable and ivy notes: the greenness of the hops is very apparent. The malt profile is interesting and full, lots of bready, sweet notes. The balance is pretty good. Pretty good for an IPA. Not great, but good.
