Had this while on vacation in San Fran. Small head. Aroma of pine that matches the bitter flavor. Rather light in color and mouthfeel. Thumbs up overall.

Dec 29, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Malt and Vine. Haze i.e. translucent orange/yellow appearance. Slight head that is slowly fading away. Looks like a good IPA to me. Aromatic malt and citrus hop aroma. Subtle sweet caramel malts are coming through, but the hops are dominating here. The malts seem as though they are getting stronger as the beer warms up. Still, a very hoppy aroma. Citrus hop is the dominating hop, but it is balanced by the malts that are coming through. The hop flavor(s) don’t pop out at me as I was hoping they would. A nice IPA with a great hop profile, but overall I have had better.

Dec 29, 2009 Honey colored with dense head that leaves lace throughout the entire glass. Aroma- citrus, pine, hay. Taste-nice and hoppy with a complimentary sweet malt backbone. Finishes fairly quickly with some lingering bitterness.

Dec 13, 2009 RnH: cask: all the makings of a solid IPA no doubt... very skunky, aromatic bitters, some light florals and citrus available on the nose. Pours a rich amber, no head from cask. One thing I realized here... IPA’s need carbonation to help carry the flavor...coming from cask I felt as if the true qualities of the brew were held back slightly?! Nonetheless very solid, sessionable brew.

Dec 11, 2009 Golden color, really light for IPA, with frothy head that leaves some lacing. Sugary, caramelly, hoppy that’s all in the smell. Fruity, kind of burnt taste. Pretty heavy hoppage, but no hop lingering. Little bitter. Pretty good methinks, nothing to complain about.

Dec 7, 2009 On tap at the Brass Rail, PA. Poured a yellow gold with white foam head and some light lacing. Flavorful hop aroma, fresh and clear. Full bodied hops with sweet citrus notes and a bit of grain dryness. Crisp, fresh and great on tap.

Dec 5, 2009 Label drawing is a little weird. Pretty dark gold pour, Slightly pissy aroma of hops and honey. This is a fairly lagerlike IPA, mildly bitter and not too aromatic. Fizzy on the palate. An average brew, and not an impressive IPA. I see this gets pretty good ratings, so maybe the bottle I had was not fresh.
