May 19, 2007 Updated: Jun 2, 2007Had this bottled, and immediately was delighted with the floral hop aroma. The label reads " Bursting with Hops" and this beer definitely does just that. Has a dark, hazy body to it, sort of orangish with a white head that disappears immediately....I liked the dry-hoppiness to this beer. It is the best or most hoppy beer out there, but it definitely is one of my GO-TO’S!! At $7.99 case, and 6.7% abv, this is a phenomenal deal. Watch out for the aftertaste though, I found inconsistency from 6-pack to 6-pack

May 11, 2007 Bottle. Light gold in color, lingering head. A little citrusy and on the bitter side, and a large hop content. Follows their slogan "bursting with hops." Though in the world of IPAs, a bit disappointing.

Feb 7, 2007 This is a good IPA, doesn’t come on with overpowering hops. Slight aftertaste, alittle bitter but not unwelcomingly lasting. Aroma is slightly fruity.

Feb 5, 2007 Bottle. Nice golden pour with thick creamy head. Aroma is grapefruit citrus. Full bodied mouth feel. Flavor is citrus & hops. Aftertaste is sharp and bitter. Nice IPA. I would drink it again.

Jan 19, 2007 I’ve tasted so many ipa’s lately that they are all tasting the same. This one ihas a rather orange rusty color and does develop a nice head. Has a nice citrus smell to it and can also taste in the after taste. Not bad - had worse - had better

Dec 7, 2006 Metallic nose, gold color, creamy frothy head. Quick sweet apricot note gets quickly overpowered but a huge, mouth-filling bitter. Not a good hop bitter - just bitter bitter. Thinish, body and an off balance. I love big bold IPAs. Normally, they can’t be hoppy or bitter enough for me. But it has to be a good bitter. This really gives IPAs a bad name and, without checking, it is for sure the lowest score I’ve ever given an IPA. Haven’t been in the States for a while at the time of rating this and this was first American micro I tried much to my dissappointment.

Nov 27, 2006 Clear amber, with a persistent thin white head. Fairly malty aroma for an IPA. Medium body with a fair amount of malt. Slight cardboard flavor. Not much finish.
