12 oz bottle. Pours a light hazy dull orange with a thin white head and some nice lace. Aroma is orange citrus hops- some orange tic-tac, and some light solventy soapiness. Flavor is more orange zest, cedar and pine notes, ligth caramel and biscuit malts, typical wierd off cascade metallic citrus character and a soapy bitter finish.

Sep 20, 2008 Dark amber with a white head. Aroma of mild citrus and sweet malt. Taste of citrus hops, mild sweet malt, kind of bland and light tasting. Mild bitter finish.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle from BSF Bar at GBBF ’08. Old gold with a white head. Sweet malt aroma, but there’s a background citrus, leathery, sweaty element too that marks this out as a different type of beer. Piney hops in the taste, very restrained, with soap and maybe some fruit, possibly pear. Not quite a clasic, but delivering plenty of interest and enjoyment.

Sep 3, 2008 More chewy than many IPAs I’ve encountered. Nice fruit rind aroma and malty mouthfeel. Solid drop-off-a-cliff bitter hop finish as the style dictates. Rich copper hue makes this a eye-pleasing beer in the glass. Packed a wallop for just one bottle.

Sep 3, 2008 Deep copper colored and clear with a a decent white lacing head. Smell is some pale malts and some light hops. Good balance there and in the taste. Taste is a malts and hops.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear medium golden with a short, fizzy dusting of white head. The aroma picked up medium-skinned fruits upfront with berries and non-descript pale malts behind.. well-balanced presentation. The flavor had toffee and pale malts at the core with layers of juicy light fruits and mild grassy bitterness surrounding.. finished with more of the fruit and a mild, refreshing bitterness. Medium-bodied and thicker at times on the palate.. dry and grainy on the back.. solid overall.
