Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells fruit and earthy with some caramel hints. Tastes malty with some light citrussy splashes on the finish. This tastes and looks like an amber ale to me.

I picked this up at the Binny’s in Orland Park, Illinois. It poured a clear coppper body with a tall ecru head and provided loads of lacework. The aroma is strong with pine, grapefruit rind and the pulp itself, floral scents, and a touch of orange zest. From time to time, a bit of caramelly sweetness oozed through. The flavor was much the same, possessing a sturdy caramel-bread-toffee malt backbone supporting a strong dosage of hoppy flavors and bitterness. The finish was bitter and dry, reflective of this hop-head who enjoys a drink like this so much.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is medium to dark brownish-amber. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately hoppy (resin, grapefruit). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Quite ordinary, straightforward, and simple...typical aroma and flavor profile for a hoppy American PA/IPA. Nothing really wrong with it, but not trying to stand out in any way either.

Sampled on 02/07/2009. This IPA pours a light orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head. The aroma is floral and herbal, a touch spicy. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are floral and herbal. Nice balance. Very smooth. A touch perfumy. Good balance. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Thanks to Ratman for sharing this one.
