Feb 17, 2008 Deep copper color with a light foamy head. Big hop aroma from the start. This feels like walking through a freakin’ pine forest. Taste is pure hops flavor. The malt balances well, but it’s a hop show overall. Absolutely love it.

Feb 16, 2008 Bottle. Wow, this looks so transparent that I was a little confused. Coppery color with a finger or so of head and a lovely hops aroma that reminds me of pine, grass, grapefruit and all the loveliness of a heavy hopping. Flavor is hops dominated, to say the least. Pine and grapefruit flavors dominate and there is not quite enough malt body or something to keep it from seeming slightly thin. That said, the alcohol, while nicely covered by the hops flavors, is there and will bite you back. Nicely brewed and well worth the try.

Feb 16, 2008 bottle. pours a quite clear copper with a thick off white head, which fades slowly and laces thickly. pine and floral hops dominate, backed up with a rather spicy bready malt scent. the whole thing creates a sort of cotton candy character as it warms. the malt comes out quite a bit more in the taste, with the bread taste dominating, but still backed up by huge spicy grassy, piney, and floral hops. moderate bitterness on the finish, with a light sweetness. medium body, tons of carbonation. coating, resinous mouthfeel. this stuff is great. i remember asking these guys at a festival a few years back if they would ever bring this back, and they intimated that i wasn’t the only one who’d been asking, and that they were considering it. i’m quite glad they did, as it’s their best stuff, near as i can tell.

Feb 14, 2008 Beautiful copper pour. Frothy head. Aroma of hops and light malt aroma. Tastes starts off lightly sweet of citrus fruits. Finishes with a hop bitterness.

Feb 14, 2008 12oz thanks beastiefan2k - Now this is what I’m talking about! Aroma is strong pine tar hops with caramel and crystal malts fighting for attention. Pours transparent copper with a small head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with the piney hops adding a chewy earthy quality in the finish. Palate is sticky and tart. Very tasty if you like hops.

Feb 13, 2008 Copper pour with a frothy off-white head. Pine/grapefruit/floral hop aroma. Flavor initially sharp, marked by pine and grapefruit hops. After a bit it comes across as more orangey with a smooth and even tea-leaf hop bitterness. Nicely put together east coast IPA.

Feb 13, 2008 Pours an amber-orange color with a crisp white head. Nose is a citrus-piney aroma. Taste is totally dominated by hops and is very drinkable. Finishes with a hint of orange and hops. Great brew!
