Jun 15, 2008 Hops for the sake of hops, no complaints. I had a bomber at Volo, then went back the next day for another. Poured orange with a small white head. Smelled of citrus and pine hops. I called Mondy, tried to sneak one home for him. Hey Mondy, have you had this yet? It finished bitter, but the kind of bitter I love.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle: Poured a light hazy golden color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bitter and floral hops are very pleasant. Taste is a mix between some floral bitter hops and light refreshing malt base with minimal caramel malt and more of a golden ale base. Good carbonation with full body and no apparent alcohol. Very well done and I have to admit that I could not detect the 10% of alcohol in this beer and thought it was very good for the style.

Jun 6, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a golden/yellow color with a lovely white head and lingers and laces nicely. The nose is HUGE! Mainly citrus and pine. The flavor is sweet and citrusy and has a very nice malty backbone to support the bitterness. The consistency is almost like syrup. It feels a little thick in on the palate, but not enough to fault the beer. Very easy, fun drinker. Very nice beer. I’ll have one more please!

Jun 6, 2008 I don’t get the "American Strong Ale" description. This is a straight up IPA. Nice and hopppy. Clean taste. But not a strong ale which has that intense matly taste.

Jun 6, 2008 Bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville. Pours a light amber with a medium frothy head with good retention and lacing. Big earthy, piny hop aroma. Sweet citrus and floral hop notes with a definite note of Southern style sweetened iced tea. Strange, but very tasty.

Jun 5, 2008 Clear yellow. Hoppy, grassy and dull. I wasn’t quite sure what category this was in; it seemed like an IPA by a clever name. I have a co-worker whose last name is Hoppe--I wonder if he knows of this beer.

Jun 5, 2008 big yeasty aroma, malty and flat bread ... I was expecting hops ... hops in the taste with some biscuits and fish ... malty with a nice hop balance ... yes fish, but not in a bad way ... aftertaste is where the bitter comes in ... lightly salty/earthy is in there too ... thats what I get ... site says 10%, bottle says 8% ... this is gonna screw up may coherent planning for the night ... This beer is very enjoyable and IMO there is a lot going on ... thumbs up
