Sep 4, 2009 This is a perfect example of an excellent straightforward IPA. Pours dark and murky for the style with almost no head. Smells citrusy and dry, just how I like it. Taste is EXTREMELY dry, with a sharp lingering aftertaste. This shit is all business. Among what I consider the "mid-grade" IPAs this is one of the very best.

Sep 4, 2009 Bottle, #495. Had while camping with no pint glass, so don’t know on appearance. Piney hop aroma and flavor. Great lasting resinous aftertaste. Pretty good IPA.

Sep 4, 2009 (Bottle from Lou’s Beverage Barn) Pours bright amber, maybe a hint of haze. Three fingers or so of slightly lumpy light yellow-biege head that slowly recede to a foamy cap. Aroma of piney hops with a touch of sweet caramel candy underneath. Mouthfeel fairly smooth, pretty thick for an IPA. Lots of thick droopy broken lacing. Flavor is hop-forward, fairly heavy notes of pine. Medium-heavy bitterness overlays a nice caramel malty base. Lingering piney aftertaste. Pretty solid.

Sep 3, 2009 12 fl oz bottle from Lubiere (merci!), served cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Hazy deep amber with a small off-white head.
Aroma: A nice blend of pine, resin and grapefruit C-hops with a good malt backbone, some dark dried fruitiness, lightly peppery, spicy and earthy.
Palate: Medium+ body, lively and sharp carbonation.
Flav.: The malts dominate, in contrast to the nose, but there is still a nice shot of pine, resin, grassy, peppery hops, some floral and citrus notes, lightly earthy and nutty; off-dry with nice bitterness and a pleasant mineral malt finish.
A really tasty, American-style IPA. Thanks again Luc!

Aug 31, 2009 12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Olive or Twist in Platte City, Missouri. Pour is mostly clear golden orange with a frothy three inch off white head. Head is very slow to fall, when it eventually does, nice lacing left behind. Aroma of spicy floral hops, resin and some citrus. Also a nice caramel toasty malt present. Nice nose, though not overly expressive. Taste is resin bitter hops, some orange
peel, and the toasty malt from the nose. Pretty straight forward IPA, nice and clean. Palate is medium to thin body - drinkable, moderate carbonation and a long mineral bitter finish. This one may not have been terribly fresh, but still enjoyable.
