Jun 18, 2008 Bottle, a dark caramel looking pour with a small head. The aroma is some hops but also some malt. The taste is bitter almost earth flavored. Not enough balance to this beer, the hops are just there. A bit bitter for my taste. Would not buy again

Jun 9, 2008 Pours nice with tannish head; cloudy with a hope particle noted - nice. Smells of IPA hoppy with some sweet floral undertone. Tastes medium bitter for crafty IPA and finishes clean and light. Good. Tastes more "homebrew" than commercial, which is nice.

Jun 7, 2008 sample on 6/5/08, rating from notes. beautifully balanced IPA... solid hop aroma... floral, citrus and earthy hops. somewhat sticky on the palate. falls apart a bit on the palate and becomes a more average IPA. Good bitter finish... above average overall given the wonderful aromas and appearance.

May 21, 2008 Very pleasantly surprised. Promises to be a "hop-lover delight". It was. Real dark red, clear, and spicy hop flavor proceeds to a nice bitter resin finish. Compares very favorably to other higher profile IPAs, and would certainly buy again.

May 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with lots of floaties and an average size diminishing off-white head. Mild aroma of resiny hops and not much else, but I like it. Mild but pleasant piney hop flavour backed by sweet malt -- it’s simple but it’s well balanced and I dig it. Decent bitter finish. Medium bodied, well carbonated. Nothing spectacular or anything but the more I drank this the more I liked it, I would buy this if it were available locally.

Apr 25, 2008 Pours a dark amber with a thin white head. Big malt aroma, with lots of grapefruit pine hops. Malty sweet taste with lots of hop bitterness. Finishes with a nice citrus bitterness. Solid big IPA.

Apr 11, 2008 Pretty amber color with a thin white head. Typical American hop aroma; notes of grapefruit and some pine from the chinooks. Light bitterness followed by pleasant citrus flavors which are accompanied by some crystal malts. Drinkable, but certainly not one of the best IPA’s on the market.
