Thanks again to Haslinger for bringing along this brew. Pour was medium golden with white head. Aroma was real hoppy accompanied by some malt. Flavor has a nice floral and citrus character. Very smooth brew with a nice balanced hop character. This was delicious. I would buy again.

Aug 29, 2008 Draft at brewpub, description in a few days...almost a perfect IPA but lacks hop complexity

Aug 28, 2008 pours 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.
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.

does not count  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.
