Dark amber color. Smell of spice, citrus and hops, but just hints of it. Taste of spicy hops and malt with a horrible bitterness. This really doesnt taste like an IPA. The pale ale tastes better.

2006 12oz. bottle amber color, slightly tan head. Awesome lacing. did not get a strong aroma. It does show a little malt sweetnes although the bitter finish is a great one.

Pours a nice amber color with a slight white head. You are immediately hit with a hoppy and citrusy aroma. Flavor is nice. Has a nice hoppiness to it that lingers. Nice brew.

Bottle 2006. Amber colour with a small tan head. Malty, grapefruit, hoppy aroma and taste. Medium body with a very dry finish.

Poured light amber yellow, with a llittle white head. Aroma was citrusy. Flavor was grapefruity all the way from first sip to last. I was surprised that this went smoothly down for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to drink this again.

12oz bottle, 2006: nicely balanced aroma of hops and malt, perhaps a bit more malt. for a young strong ale it tastes remarkably good, perhaps just a stint bit stronger than the pale ale. pleasant hoppy aftertaste, if thats what you like ;) definitely worth trying.

Not one of my favorite beers from Sierra Nevada. I was expecting a little more bitter finish and it was sweeter and malteir than their Pale Ale. It was a great find here in TN but may not buy much more.

Pours a nice medium orange color with a thin amount of foamy white head. Nice hoppy citric, yet not overpowering aroma. Flavor is not what I expected. Hoppy, yet not overly bitter hops, instead more floral, and a much sweeter more carmely taste. Overall, yummy.
