Oct 5, 2009 From tap@Beer Temple, Amsterdam. A fine-laced offwhite head upon a brilliant, deep gold colored body. Strong hop nose; evergreen and spices, citrus peel and resin. Dry pale malts in the background. Taste is very hoppy, but not overdone. Pine forrest, citrus, grass and resin. Almost balanced by a restrained, dry malt body. Supercrisp in the mouth. Mid-bodied. Faint malty, lasting hop bitter ending. Not fully balanced, yet a crisp and quenching IPA.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle, thanks to Secret Santa. Pours a slightly hazy gold color with a small white head that lasts a good while. Aroma reminds me of Sierra Nevada’s Harvest or Torpedo, with that dank pesto and olive oil, as well as earth, leaves, grass, and toast. Tastes similar with plenty of earthy, leafy and slightly spicy hops against a toasted malt background with a slight caramel touch. Finishes like burnt wood and pesto with a touch of ashiness. Medium bodied and pretty creamy mouthfeel. I think Sierra Nevada does this sort of beer a bit better, but I’m a sucker for a beer that oddly makes me think of pasta.

Sep 30, 2009 12 oz. Bottle. I am a fan of IPA’s but this one just did not do it for me. The aroma threw it off for me and this carried over into the flavor. Smelled a bit old and funky. Poured a nice color though. With decent head. Not a bad IPA but definetly not a good one.

Sep 29, 2009 Wow, I am delighted and surprised by the smell of this IPA. It is slightly funky (perhaps like a pale of water that has been left in the cellar for a couple months and smells funny) combined with very citrusy hop aroma (as the description indicates). Its a pleasure, and has character. a bit soapy smelling too. By the way, this pours a cloudy honey with thin mayonnaise colored head. The tasty is nice and refreshing citrusy hops, with a bitter bite at the end that does not overstay its welcome like some IPA’s do. Combine this with a neutral light malt sweetness in both the smell and taste. Overall Impressions: I think the IPA style is finally starting to grow in me. I used to drink it for purely experimental/academic purposes.

Sep 26, 2009 Hazy orange pour with little hire frothy head. Great lacing. Pine dominates aroma with just a hint of honey and lavendar. No sweetness on the palate whatsoever and a nice clean bitter finish. Pretty hoppy single ipa that I’d drink again.
