Jun 21, 2008 Bottle. Dark orange pour with minimal head. This was bigger and better than I expected. Packs a lot of flavor for an under 7% IPA. Floral hops, pine, citrus, spicy citrus rinds on the nose, and a little sweet, hinting at a malt backbone. A little sweet malt and resin added to the taste. Very bitter, even for an IPA. I’ve not been on an IPA kick lately, but this is quite nice.

Jun 12, 2008 Bottle from ucusty. Caramelly orange pour with small to medium off white head. Mild citrus and pine on the nose, mild graininess, and a touch of funk. Perhaps a slightly oxidized bottle. Taste is of bitter grapefruit peel, mango candy, sweet malt and bitter pine. Ends pretty clean and fast with lingering candy fruits. A touch fluffy in body with a nice medium carbonation. Very tasty.

Jun 2, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008Bottle, courtesy CaptainCougar. Amber color pour, thin watery head, and some decent lacing. Just pure pine in the aroma, seriously. NOTHING but pine. Simply an incredible hop presence. Extremely chock full of pine flavors and some citrus, too. Hoppy as all get out. Very crisp and drinkable. Remarkably focused on the pine aspect. Not overly balanced but who cares?

May 30, 2008 Bottle: Hazy copper pour, minimum head. Aroma is this beer’s #1 quality - citrusy, almost like grapefruit. I can’t stop smelling it! The flavor is smooth, full and hoppy - like an IPA should taste. If you’re an IPA fan, you can’t lose with this beer. IMHO, the best beer Sweetwater puts out.

May 29, 2008 Bottle: Copper pour with a smaller sandy colored head. Malt, resin, and piney notes blend together with a little citrus sweetness. Smooth and clean drinking with plenty of citrus hops, a little carmel, and bits of pine. Nice, wet, and soothing. Just right after cutting the grass. Thanks Kpresley77.
