Aroma is very floral, citrusy and hoppy. Pours a darker golden color, or light orange with a moderate to small head but still some nice lacing. Crisp hoppy flavor with sweet citrus, moderate bitterness and dry. Very nice with amazing drinkability even if you are not a hop lover. One of the best IPAs around.

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle. Clear golden pour with a thick frothy white head. Aroma is weaker than I expected, still a nice hop scent though. Flavor has a sweet caramel base with a dominant bitterness. Very well balanced and a nicely put together beer overall.

Aug 19, 2008 Such a delicious beer. Amazing aroma, full of piney, citrusy hop goodness. The flavor is full power - acidic at first, then a hop-splosion with a caramel-sweet finish. Like making out with a gorgeous chick who’s chewing hop-flavored gum. Nice long, smooth finish. Right up there with Two Hearted, maybe slightly less balanced.

Aug 19, 2008 Pours hazy golden orange with off white head. Grapefruit hop aroma with some sweet maltiness. MIldly sweet with a nice balance of hops and malts. Medium body with soft carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. Very good IPA.

Aug 18, 2008 Clear golden lagerish color with a finger of white head. Grapefruit, floral hops and smooth cool malt aroma. Almost buttery, it coats the tongue just slightly and delivers a great hop finish. Bitter but fruity and bright. Enjoyable, dare I say more so than Ruination? Though it would be a preference of the night.
