Draught @ The Brew Kettle, Strongsville, Ohio - Pours amber, good head. Aroma is lots of hops, but you can tell there is some malts waiting as well. Very well balanced taste with a subdued burst of hops and very nice sweet malts. If you are into IPAs that do not necessarily punch you in the crotch, this is perfect. Great summer drinking ale.

Very high quality for a highly available beer. A clean taste with decent hops. Very well balanced in taste, aroma, and appearance.

This is my go to beer in most liquor stores when I feel saucy. A pretty standard IPA that gives you the bite you’d expect when you want ipa’s

Bottle: a beer I’ve had a million times it seems, just finally rating it, pours a golden amber with a frothy white head, aroma is hoppy, some citrus, taste is hoppy but not overpowering, bitter finish. Solid stuff.

courtesy of Tony Flükiger; 2007 vintage - hazy red-orange colour with a poor foam left; oily hoppy nose showing notes of peach and melon; medium-bodied and with a moderate carbonation; slightly oily palate but finishes very dry and very bitter; long fruity and flowery hoppy finish

12 oz. 2007 bottle. Amber in color. Nose is a bit weak, so much so that the alcohol almost seems to dominate. Head was minimal and didn’t last. A fairly mild IPA, hop wise, with most of the bitterness up front, but quite drinkable.

Little aroma was present. Light amber color with a decent white head. the head dissipated put left a small thin layer - bonus points from that. Sweet citrus start with a nice bitter finish that ends almost as soon as it finishes. Made me think of a watered down IPA.
