Aroma is full of every imaginable hop: floral, pine, tropical fruit, earthy, grassy. Great malt too. Flavor is so smooth with all the hop goodness you could want without crazy bitterness. Jesus this is good stuff. mcc5468 (103), USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 30, 2009 On tap at the brewery. I saw this being poured from across the bar and it is just one of the best looking beers you will ever see. Pours a bright orange/copper color. Medium head that dissipates but leaves good lacing all the way. Aroma is grapefruit hops. Taste is also citrus hops with some pine. Great. Absolutely loved this beer. One of the best, freshest and crisp IPAs I have had. Good stuff. Also, the ABV was low which I found surpising for an IPA that tasted this good. GMCC2181 (880), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 21, 2009 Growler from ty, thanks brother! Big rocky head, nice orange color. Nice nose... Taste is nice as well...Not overdone or underdone. Just a nice bitterness to it. All the hops are blended well together. Medium texture. Easy drinking.....Overall...This growler was about a week old, I wish I could have it straight from the brewery but this was still good. TheEnemy (422), Chicago, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 20, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear rich copper with long-lasting foamy white head that lines the glass with lots of lace as you drink it down. Aroma packs your standard bitter American-IPA notes of pine and grapefruity citrus. Surprise, flavor shows the same and with good sweetness to back it all up. Not the most well-balanced combination of flavors but it’s still pretty good. Strangely smooth palate. Pretty good. Keir (19), Saint Louis, Missouri, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Tap and cask at brewery on 09.04.09; growler on 09.10.09. Pours copper with a thick, creamy head. Nose full of citrus, floral, and pine. Huge flavor of citrus and pine. More earthy from the cask. Too cold from the tap. Tasty from the growler.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 30, 2009 A dark amber pour, with a dense creamy tan head that lasts a while. Floral hop aroma with a bouquet or amarillo, cascade and centenial? Delicious ipa flavor, very sweet and creamy, and floral. 100% satisfying. Heavy lacing. Nice malty backend if you can find it through the hops.
