Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, some spice. Tastes of wildflowers, citrus, grassy, hay, some bitterness on the finish.

Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, my bottle. Slightly hazy orange with a small rocky head. Fruity/herbaly hopppy aroma, sweet and grainy. Taste is sweet, candyish with a very bitter finish and aftertaste. Didn’t really care for it.

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Nice hop notes of grass, earth pine, and some light citrus tones. Pine y body with a mild bitterness. Thin and quaff able. Nice ale.

On tap at Crescent Moon Alehouse, 3/25/06: Light orange color with just a wisp of a head. Nice chewy hop character with a little citric bitter twist to finish it off. Very good.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a cloudy orange with a small diminishing white head. Aroma of malt, faint hops and some fruit. Watery flavour of grain with some malt and light on the hops. Pretty mediocre in my opinion.

Fine example of the style: good finishing hop aroma, but not dry hopped as far as I can tell. Solid measure of boiling hops. Copper/amber in appearance. Good head retention. UPDATE 9/13/7: Nitro pushed version of IPA on tap at the brewpub. Smoother and creamier. Tiny bubbles and thick head. Still a delicious beer.

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.

bottle, golden color with a soapy looking head, quite malty and caramel upfront, finishes with a bitter citrus and fruit
