Dec 5, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of those wet hops, fresh and leafy, medium malt notes. Flavor has the wet hop bitterness with some pine and mango, and a medium-rich toffee malt base. Lots of berries also abound, and combining with the bitterness turn into an intense lychee flavor for me. Being it a wet hop ale, would have liked to get this one as fresh as possible, but either way, interesting and tasty.

Dec 5, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt and hop aromas of roasted and pine, light soap for the yeast and hints of toffee. Head is small, frothy, white with fair lacing and is fully diminishing. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, oily and has a lively carbonation. A nice IPA, nothing outstanding but nothing offensive.

Dec 3, 2008 Pours a rich amber color with a creamy head from the tap at the Hop Leaf. Smells more of caramel than hops. Overripe red apples dominate the flavor, particularly as it warms. Starts a bit sour at first, then mellows with a nice amount of yeast and faint butter on the finish.

Nov 30, 2008 Updated: Dec 7, 2008A beautiful looker. Deep crystal clear burnt orange with a creamy head. Big nose of grapefruit, floral hops, bitter hops. Flavor of pine, diverse hops, with a nice creamy malt backbone. Complex, crisp, tasty. This IPA is a worthwhile venture for hopheads and those who just want a good India Pale Ale.

Nov 29, 2008 Courtesy KnightDr. 2008 vintage, Lot #2748. 65 IBUs and 6.7% ABV per the label. Pours a crystal clear, dark, brazen-amber color. A frothy, cream colored head settles to a wispy film with a thin edge. Sticky rings of cobweb lacing circle the glass. Aromas include bright grassy and grapefruit hops, along with notes of darkly toasted caramel and roasted cereals grains. Flavors are substantially bitter, the grass and citrus being accompanied by pine this time around. The caramel notes are so darkly toasted, they are almost bitter on their own. Still, there’s a touch of biscuity sweetness in there, lending balance. Medium-plus in body, moderately carbonated, and slightly astringent on the finish, it’s a decent enough brew overall, but nothing overly special.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark amber brown with a medium frothy head that lasts. This beer is not really big in the aroma department. Heavy malt, slight dirty mouth feel, a bit coppery.

Nov 26, 2008 Heavy bitterness. On-tap at Town Hall in Minny, and appropriately carbonated by them. Medium orange body with bubbly head and noticeable lace. This is wet-hopped and I feel the high IBU. Hop heads rejoice. Full-mouthfeel, and you can detect hops in the aroma.
