Bottle: Great aroma of pineapple and citrus hops with some faint caramel. It pours a slightly hazy amber with a small off-white head that lasts a minute or so and leaves behind sporadic lacing. The flavor starts with some light caramel that gets dominated quickly by citrusy hops and pineapple in the finish. Grapefruit bitterness lingers in the aftertaste for quite some time. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Oct 25, 2007 Strong hop notes off opening this one (pine/citrus). It poured a hazy dark red with a huge head (about an inch and a half). A bit sweeter then I like my IPA’s. Had a decent bitter finish. Overall, it’s a tasty beer that I wish would get wider distribution.

Oct 23, 2007 Can- Pours a hazy off brown copper color, small off white head. Nose is strong british malt, some american hops mix to add a distinct aroma. Some grapefruit and pine notes (simcoe?) More hops fill the body of the beer. Dry fruit citrus filled flavors.

Oct 19, 2007 16oz can, no date from hellomynameis, thanks Zac! Clear reddish orange with a one finger yellowish off-white head, good retention. Aroma of spicy pine and floral hops, moderate caramel malt sweetness and some grainy notes. Flavor is much the same, and despite the hops being pretty strong, the malt sweetness does a pretty good job at keeping the bitterness at bay--for a short while. Dry finish with bitterness sitting around a 7 that lingers. Medium body with creamy light to moderate carbonation. Very good beer.

Oct 18, 2007 16 oz can. Looks about the way a good IPA should. Flavor is solid. Big hops, sweet malts, and medium bodied. Well balanced and not cloying. Somewhat dry. Grapefruit is prominent. I’m becoming a bigger Surly fan by the day.

Oct 16, 2007 I was a bit skeptical of this product as it comes in a can. But persistent urging from a buddy persuaded me to give it a try. As I poured I found this ale to be a deep, cloudy-amber in color, with a nice thick soft looking beige foam that made up its medium head. This is an eye-catching brew. It has a mild hoppy floral aroma with fruity notes. Unlike the aroma, the excellent full favors of this IPA come storming in on the taste buds, a nice balance of bitterness and body. The mouth feel is creamy, supple, silky, and full. The finish is long and lingering leaving beautiful lacing behind. This is a most excellent IPA and the best I have presently tasted.

Oct 15, 2007 Can. Very murky orange-red with a small off white head. Rich candied citrus and fresh cut pine hop aromatics. Earthy, and citric/metallic hop flavors dominate. Sturdy caramel maltiness peers through resinous hoppiness. Fruity and floral hop flavors linger in the finish, with a bracing bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium, rather dry.
