Flowery hop up front, with a good mouth feel, and a smooth citrus end. Good, but not the best of the IPA day.

Jan 11, 2009 On tap at Spuyten Duyvil in Brooklyn!
A- Murky bright orange hue, off-white wispy foam retains, big thick lacing
S- Moderate pine resin hops, slightly acidic citrus, tinges of caramel malts and alcohol
T- Initial taste is mostly super-bitter hops and sweet caramel malts, finishes very dry and bitter
M- Medium-bodied, oily texture coats the mouth, mild carbonation
D- An uber bitter IPA that is bold and interesting but somewhat lacking in flavors, rather ambivalent about this one so I probably wouldn’t get it again.

Jan 14, 2008 Tap. Poured amber with a nice fluffy off white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, and pine. Flavor was mostly the same but finished rather dry. Still very drinkable at 7%.

Dec 19, 2007 Crystal clear amber orange color. Aroma of skunky weed. Sharp completely bitter taste. Too harsh for me. Oily texture.

Oct 28, 2007 Draft at Barcade. Aroma of some grainy malt, a little citrus and some pine. The malt is really bad in this one; grainy and corny. The hops aren’t too impressive either; just not fresh tasting or crisp.

Oct 28, 2007 On tap at Barcade; was really disappointed with this beer. I liked the concept of brewing different IPAs this year. Main problem was the hop flavor; it just wasn’t very good for me.

Oct 3, 2007 Tap at Blind Tiger. Pale amber, crystal clear with a non-existant head. Aroma is quite woody and bitter smelling. Quite thin-bodied, pale industrial malt. Very woody/herbal smelling. Very strong assertive bitterness. Light orangey and lemony citrus. Comes across fairly astringent on the finish. This one didn’t work for me.
