Aug 10, 2009 Piny, floral hop aroma. A little citrus and musk but not to over powering. Dark, clear, golden orange, beautifully carbonated, thin head with persistent bubbles. There is a very sharp hop flavor up front, but then it mellows in to a smooth bitterness. It’s rather refreshing. I get a lot of citrus, it has a nice dry finish. Very lovely, drinkable beer.

Aug 10, 2009 I like this IPA!!! Pours a copper color with a light head that tries to hang on. Nice lacing on the edge. Great citrusy aroma from the hops. Very smooth with a well balanced hop flavor. Nice gentle mouthfeel. Good bittering on the backside!

Aug 9, 2009 This is the kind of IPA I am looking for. Beer pours lightly cloudy dark honey color with a totally retained off white head that produces copious lacing. Aroma is very appealing with lots of juicy, crushed hops, grapefruit and more grapefruit. Flavor follows the aroma with big juicy grapefruit flavors. The grapefruit is omni-present as it should be, but there is a malt prescence lurking in the background provide a hint of balance. This is IMO delicous!

Aug 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a copper amber with a medium creamy off white head that lasts awhile leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass.The aroma is a strong pine hops with caramel and grapefruit. Medium mouthfeel with a piney hop taste with grapefruit and a nice bitter finish. A very good IPA from SKA.

Big hop aromas that lead to a bitter flavor with a good sweet hop backing.

Aug 1, 2009 drank right before Dynamo-DcUnited kickoff, 7:30pm ... .. Pours a medium copper .. . medium-large head, lacing is fab .. . lots of apple, pine, dirty molasses, and squirrel hop turds in the aroma .. . very easy stuff to drink, lots of cascade makes this dreamy! .. . this might get me in trouble tonight if Houston doesn’t play well... can’t wait for the cans to show up, this is the best SKA regular indefinitely! .. . waiter, there’s a fly in my flannel...

Jul 31, 2009 Bottle at the Raleigh Times. Bartender told me that this was a fairly tame IPA so I was surprised when the nose on this thing was extremely rich with citrus hops and floral notes. Taste was perfectly balanced for my style of IPA drinking. Hops were very strong, yet not in an overly aggressive way. Drank strong and finished strong too. Classy brew.
