Aug 19, 2008 24 oz bottle from premier gourmet. pour hazy orange with a perfect tan head. perfect IPA appearance. aromas is of subdued hops with almost no malt presence. the flavours are similar. i dont feel as if the hops shine as the brewer intended in this one and the malts are a little lacking. overall its an above average IPA but just not my fav.

Aug 19, 2008 24-oz. bottle purchased at Coaltrain Wine & Liquor, Colorado Springs, CO. Pours clear amber with a huge, foamy, off-white head, lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, straw), heavy hops (perfume, flowers, citrus, pine), average yeast (sweat) with notes of apricot, grapefruit, and spiced apples. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness; nice spiciness and lingering dryness.

Aug 17, 2008 Updated: Sep 13, 200824oz bottle purchased for $4.45 from Wine Emporium in Boston. Pours a clear medium gold with little head but some lacing. Decent hop aroma, but was hoping for more from a "fresh hop" beer. Flavour is full and bitter, with hops that give the beer a warming sensation. Enjoyable stuff, though less floral and fruity than I associate with "fresh hops".

A good grapefruit like nose, with a bite to it. It has a very smooth taste with a little aftertaste to it. it has a good crisp bitterness to it, that hangs around for a while

Aug 15, 2008 Poured a nice bright amber golden orange with a faint whiff of pine and hay. Flavour was smooth and slightly spiced. Had some interesting characteristics going on within the palate but strangely, I got quite full while drinking my first pint and couldn’t finish the rest. This is not bad, but I had a hard time distinguishing it from SN’s other beers.
