Apr 9, 2009 Thanks, Bri. Pours a clear amber with medium head that sticks around for a while. The aroma is pure citrus hops that don’t stop.The taste is dominated by citrus/nug hops, but there is a solid caramel malt backing that evens out the bitterness. This is my favorite type of IPA: one that gives you tons of hop taste, without overloading you with bitterness or sugary malts. It’s definitely a bit thin and could use some more body, but it’s tough to get a balanced session IPA with this many hops....and this one is.

Apr 5, 2009 Red-orange amber with great head. Profusion of Cascades assert themselves on the nose. Great raw hop presence. Flavor starts of promisingly, with Cascades, but a watery finish detracts. Solid, consistent bitter underpinning throughout. Wanted this to be better. Would try again.

Apr 5, 2009 A fantastic hop-lover’s IPA, poured out of the can and developed very nice white head with a orange/copper color. SMells of deep Cascade American hops with the Scottish malt as an undertone. Drinks to a strong hop taste that explodes with flavor, and balances almost perfectly to the malt at the end. One of, if not my favorite, IPAs.

Apr 3, 2009 medium lacing .. dark golden color on the pour .. healthy head too ... clean for such a hop bomb, lots of bitterness to boot .. . hops, pine, pure happiness in a glass, uh can ... .very nice brew that will ruin your taste buds, and any other brews you try afterwards ..(ex. blind pig) .. .

Apr 2, 2009 Pours a hazy amber color with a foamy head that lasts a while. Great aroma of grapefruit and pine resin hops, , light sweet fruit, and a touch of toasty malt. Flavor follows along the same lines. Nice lingering dry bitter finish. Simply a fantastic IPA.

Apr 1, 2009 1 pint can, Fargo, ND, USA. Hazy amber, thick frothy head. Intense citrus aroma, floral, woody. Smooth, not overly carbonated, medium body with a nice bitterness on the side of the tongue at the finish.

Mar 31, 2009 Holy lord this is a phenomenal brew. Ridiculously hoppy, citrus goodness, and a tremendous malt background. Absolutely one of the top 2 or 3 IPAs in America.
Plus, the can is awesome.

Mar 29, 2009 Pours a copper color with a frothy off-white head with very nice lacing. Has a citrusy, piney aroma and a sweet, spicy flavor with a creamy texture. Refreshing!
