Oct 31, 2009 16 ounce can thanks to Levi. Pours a dark amber hue with a large white head and lots of lacing. The aroma is great; rich caramel, malts, and ton of spicy fruity hops. The flavor is just great; rich spicy bitter hops, very fresh tasting with a bitter pine finish on your palate. Lots of caramel and malt flavors as well. Smooth and easygoing, but a flavor explosion. Among my favorite IPAs ever. Awesome.

Oct 31, 2009 Pours a very amber/chestnut brown color with golden orange hues and a two finger frothy yellowish beige head that lasts, leaving soapy chunks of lacing in it’s path.
Earthy floral hop aroma with a bit of biscuit and caramel malt. There is also a good bit of citrus aroma with hints of lemon peel and grapefruit as well as some earthy dank pine.
Nice chewy resinous medium body that is very refreshing and well balanced. Caramel and biscuit malt backbone provide a nice balance to the huge hop profile without overpowering it. Plenty of fresh, dank, resinous hop flavor with hints of citrus lemon and orange peel as well as some grapefruit and nice dry earthy pine notes. Again, this is an extremely well balanced beer that I have to stop myself from pounding. An excellent session beer that I wish I had greater access to.

Oct 30, 2009 16 oz. can poured a clear tarnished copper with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, tangerine, pine and light tropical fruit. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, pine, grapefruit and light orange zest with a crisp lingering bitter finish.

Oct 29, 2009 This is really tasty. On tap. Strong hops with somewhat smeet malt blend. Strong pine and floral flavors but not the citrusness of west coast ipas. Still a great, interesting. Pours a dark deep orange with a light frothy head. Too bad I can’t get this locally.

Oct 29, 2009 At a tasting, thanks David, stable lasting off white head, clear copper colour, aroma of mandarine and flowery hops, strong hoppy bitter with flavours of orange blossoms, and a light touch of malt in the back, strong but feels a little diluted, short aftertaste

Oct 28, 2009 Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks David C. Clear amber color with a white head. Aroma of flowery hops, citrus and tropical fruits. Juicy bitter citrusy flavor with some piney notes and a bit of balancing maltiness. Mouthfeel is a bit watery. A good refreshing IPA.

Oct 26, 2009 Can. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Hoppy body with pine and grapefruit notes. Mild citrus, grass and some caramel notes. Grass notes and a solid hop finish. Good brew.

Oct 24, 2009 Deep, deep amber. Pine aroma. Filmy long lasting head. Much darker than most IPA. The aroma reminded me of Bell’s Two Hearted Ale which I consider the benchmark of IPA’s that I like. This was smoother than Two Hearted and maybe a little thicker. Not quite the citrus or IBU kick that I found with Bell’s. Nontheless, a great beer.
