May 23, 2009 Bottle. Golden, slightly hazy a fair bit of sediment, sudsy white head with some nice lacing. Nose is citrus, pine and some caramel. Flavor starts out citrusy, medium toffee sweetness with hints of apricot, dries out and finishes with an intense lingering grapefruit bitterness. Medium mouthfeel, ends with a bracing hop bitterness bordering on astringency.

May 23, 2009 Not bad....not too bad at all. Medium golden color to this one. Smells mainly of hops with a little bit of grain. Taste is full of hops and leaves a little bit of a bite in the end. An overall pleasant brew.

May 20, 2009 The name of this company pisses me off for no apparent reason. The brew itself is tight. Lots of hops, semi candied into bitter-hop’d wickedness. This was consumed at the well over-priced Kickbacks, on King/College in Jacksonville, FL. A pub style bar thing with an excellent selection should u not know already. The aroma was similar to Two Hearted Ale, a personal classic, and the taste had a slight cloying feeling towards the end; achk, fuzzy teef. Nice twist of citrus, with some lemon and grapefruit lamenting around floral hops and fresh pine sap.

May 17, 2009 12 oz single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. A surprise to see here in North Florida. Pours a clear gold with a thin, beige head. Very good lacing. Great aroma of floral hops, grapefruit, orange peel. Taste is citrus hops with white pepper and a touch of pine resin. Great creamy palate. This was a very nice surprise. An excellent IPA.

May 16, 2009 Updated: Jul 19, 2009I think this may be the best IPA I have ever had, in fact this is what launched me into an IPA frenzy this year. Sweet sweet hops and spice, what an IPA should be.
