Bottle 3/23/07 poured a copperish with a vanilla head very typical of the recent ipa i have had. Flavor was of spice and nutty. Again don’t know if I m on a bad streak but nothing of note to say.

Aroma is spice and floral. Flavor is mainly spice, heavy hops, with none of the floral characteristics coming through. It was one dimensional to me. Not much of a good example of a "good" IPA. At least it was light bodied.

12oz bottle-pours an off white head and gold color. Aroma is flat hops, musty malt. Taste is flat hops-bitter, secondary malt. OK carbonation.

Clear bronze color. Biscuit and citrus aroma. Clean. Some pinecone hops, less obvious taste of orange; slick, stale iced tea is a bit sharp. Sharply carbonated and medium bodied. Slightly cottony mouthfeel. Refreshing and enjoyably simple, if an excessively tepid example.

Bottle from Jungle Jim’s. Poured a clear copper color with an large off-white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate hoppy citrus and pine aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium hoppy bitter flavor with a smooth hoppy citrus bitter finish of average duration. Solid drinkable brew.

Bottled at Delirium, Gothenburg. Hazy amber. Thick beige head. Light hoppy aroma. Really bitter flavour with grassy hoppiness. A bit bland to be an american IPA.

2007 bottle. Classic orangey IPA color, decent off-white head. Not much in the way of aroma except a little Sierra Nevada skunk. pine, very clean. A little more SN skunk in the taste, some pine and grass hops, crisp tart and quite bitter finish.

Bottle. Like many SN products - very good, very consistent, very accessible. A good IPA but nothing noteworthy. Nothing particularly to think about - pretty straightforward, slightly above average IPA. Try it - just don’t buy a six pack.
