Mar 9, 2009 Bottle. Slightly hazy, orange color. Gentle flowery aroma and soft mouthfeel. I’d like a bit more bite in the after taste, but I don’t think that is what they were going for, so I won’t hold it against them. This is my favorite beer from Sweetwater.

Mar 9, 2009 Bottle: Thanks Secret Santa! Pours an orange color with good clarity and a dense off white head. Aroma is of mild citrus- a touch catty, mild butterscotch (diacetyl) and mild resiny character. Nice fluffy mouthfeel. Simple flavor- a touch catty with a light sweet malt (nutty crystal) notes as well. Subdued citrus hop notes throughout. A bit simple.

Mar 9, 2009 bottled. Aroma has mango, ananas, grapefruits. Very hoppy. Hazy, orange coloured with a thin, off-white head. The taste is bitter, slightly sweet, has all the fruits in it. Quite hoppy, medium bodied beer. Dry, slightly sharp finish.

Mar 5, 2009 Bottle, thanks to ucusty. Best by 3/30/09. Aroma of resinous, piney, floral hops, peachy, and spicy hops. Lovely. Flavor follows right along, emphasizing in particular the spicy hop qualities. Resinous feel really continues right through the finish, which also includes a bit of that peach flavor. Nice stuff.

Mar 3, 2009 Received 12-oz bottle via trade with TheBeerSommelier. Pours a semi-clear amber brew with a decent off-white head that quickly dissipates but leaves behind some excellent lacing. Aroma of fruity zest, peaches, a hint of tangerine and light caramel malt. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of mostly citrus, peach, pine and some yeast. Finish is quite bitter, a slight metallic texture and retains a lingering bitterness and then a caramel malt aftertaste. Quite enjoyable.

Feb 25, 2009 Oh the hops...one of my staples at the local bar. The aroma of this Sweetwater is one of the best from any IPA. The appearance is great, it shows the natural aspect of the brew. Good IPA taste, good IPA feel=good beer.

Feb 20, 2009 A: Faintly hazy rich copper color body with a faint skim of off-white bubbles on the surface.
A: Citrus and floral hops with some light malty sweetness in the background
F:Initial sweet malt braced by rounded bitterness with piney/citrusy hops flavors and faint fruity yeast esters. The citrus hops take on a small bit of harshness near the end. Finishes with a nice level of bitterness and dryness.
P: Creamy moderate body
O: Nice, good hop presence w/ a substantial enough malt backbone to keep you coming back to the glass.
