Aug 30, 2008 Trade with bdigi66. 12 oz bottle pours copper with a nice fluffy off white head. Grassy, herbal, and floral hop aroma. Grapefruit hop bitterness, but not harsh. Lighter malt body with some honey notes in there. Nice pale ale. Almost in the IPA category.

Aug 29, 2008 Updated: Sep 2, 2008Draft at brewpub...finally my description. Aroma is a light hoppy note of pine. Appearance is flawless, amber copper with a thick white head. Flavor is of pine hops and a little citrus. Great mouthfeel and a nice bitter end. This is a great beer for sure and would drink over and over, only wished there was a little more complexity.

Aug 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 3, 2008pours a clear amber with a medium sized tan head.
Smells citrusy malt, with plenty of hops in there to boot.
Flavor is floral hops and unsweet, bready malt. The citrus disappears before you taste it. There’s a hint of green apple and raisin as well.
mouthfeel is really smooth.
Ooh, the hops hit you in the back of the mouth. This is more complex with every sip.
Great pale ale!

Aug 28, 2008 Pours a slightly cloudy amber clor with a medium sized mostly white head. Aroma is malty and very wonderfully full of delicious hops. Both citrus and floral in aroma the flavor carries over to the flavor. This one is hard to tell APA or IPA? How about a pale ipa? Yeah thats the ticket. Nice juicy hops on the tongue with some nice biscuity malts. Yum. Really good.

Aug 27, 2008 Sampled at Birreria Paradiso’s IPA dinner here in DC. The manager Greg said he made a personal contact with the brewmaster, and was able to secure a few kegs of this wonderful beer - can’t find it anywhere in this area. Beautiful dark amber hue with sufficient lacing. Certainly smelled and tasted like an IPA, but I can understand the pale ale classification. You can tell there’s a ton of cascade and centennial on the back end of the boil, providing huge amounts of hop flavor, not commonly found in a APA. This and 60 minute are really nice sessionable beers with similar flavor profiles.

Aug 23, 2008 Damn near an IPA in taste and aroma. Lots of citrus, not too malty. Pours amber with a thin whitish head. Very good APA.

Aug 16, 2008 On tap at the brewpub in Munster. This came in an imperial pint glass rich amber color with a minimal white head (pub pour) and light lacing. Nose of citrus and fruit hops, and a tiny bit of pine. A very smooth and cream mouthfeel. Flavor is of citrus and pine. Great bitter finish. I was amazed at how good this beer tasted. I don’t know if it is balance or what, but this is fantastic stuff.
