Mar 22, 2008 Pours a clear amber topped by small beige head with nice lacing. Aroma is fruity sweet with grapefruit, orange, pine, pineapple and mango. Flavor is moderately sweet, grapefruit, pine,pineapple and some caramel. Very subdued hop prescence for an IPA, really more of an amber ale. Smooth medium body, fair carbonation.

Mar 21, 2008 One of my winter favorites. I try to carry a few bottles in my checked baggage when I go to the Pacific Northwest and B.C. for my annual ski trip. The full flavour bursts with a fine balance of hops and malt.

Mar 21, 2008 not bad, but not what i would expect of from an IPA. It doesnt have the strong hop flavor, its a little mind and not much taste. Bit I think that may be cause i’ve had too many tonight. Def worth the alc content right now

Mar 20, 2008 Aroma of grapefruit and bitter hops. Great, powerful, bitter hop flavor. Not much malt, leaving the beer a little bit unbalanced. That didn’t bother me though, the hop taste was so good. It reminds me of stone’s ruination IPA but a little better.

Mar 20, 2008 12 oz bottle. The aroma is hop, and some body odor. The body is a dark amber orange with small head. Very hoppy taste with some bitter citrus as well.

Mar 19, 2008 Bottle. Amber-brown pour with a white head that leaves a soapy residue on top. Pretty standard, but very balanced, IPA aroma. Floral and some light vanilla with the malt, but nothing sticks out too much. Maybe a little pithy citrus. Flavor is similar - floral and fresh, strong and smooth hop finish. Very drinkable and balanced, but nothing outrageous.

Mar 18, 2008 Pours a hazy dark orange color, with a smallish off white head. Smells of rich, piney hops, with traces of grapefruit citrus, and bitter malts. Nice aroma. The flavor has a very floral character to it which really complimented the hops quite nicely. Not overdone at all and balanced really well. The hops were the biggest component noticeable, leaving a crisp hop bitterness in the finish and lingering aftertaste. Really refreshing IPA. This would be a staple if I could get this where I lived. Tasty.

Mar 17, 2008 Another bottle courtesy JB175. Pours a crystal clear dark amber with a nice 2 finger off white head w/nice lacing. Nose is citrus hops with a touch of ammonia? Palate is extremely smooth… could be that I had a Devil Dancer right before this, but this is a really smooth, drinkable IPA. Sweet pineapple and orange upfront, with grapefruit and pine finish giving it a slightly bitter aftertaste with a little sticky mouth feel. Yum. Good stuff. Thanks for this one Jason!
