Sample from a 12oz bottle. Pours amber with a 1/2 inch head. Aroma is malty with a decent hop balance. Flavor is hop up front with some malt to balance it out, but not much else going on. Finish is a bit thinner than expected. The only other brew I’ve had from them is Cane & Ebel, which is probably responsible for me expecting more out of this one. Pretty average.

Golden pour with some head. Aroma is a bit fruity. Flavor is slightly bitter, finishes dry. Bitter, but not too bitter. It’s a decent IPA. 10/2/2009: 2009 bottle. Pretty good ipa. NIce hop blend, light caramel malt. Good hop flavor and very clean finish.

From draught sample at Capone’s. Great orange and grapefruit, pine resin hop aroma. Oily with mild acidity and a bit oxidized. Light sweet malty character. dark amber-brown clear with little head. Medium heavy amber body with medium carbonation. Starts pretty malty with sticky sweetness that lasts. Good bitter hops until the finish, but a bit oxidized and papery. Hint of caramel and chocolate. Light bitter after.

Good beer. Citrusy hops with light malt finish. Wet hops create a tangier profile, which is nice. Very drinkable and a good one to have around. Would recommend to someone that likes a moderately hoppy beer.

Pours a dark auburn in color with about an inch of head. Smell is juicy hops. Quite floral and aromatic. Taste is slightly bittering and citrusy, juicy. Decent IPA. This is really easy drinking and enjoyable. Plenty of soapy lacing sticking to the insides of the glass.

Large white head that sticks around all the way to the bottom of the glass. Excellent lacing. Strong citrus hop aroma. Caramel malts take over at the end. Hops are a little too harsh. Mouthfeel not heavy enough - feels almost like a light beer. Still, an above average IPA.

Bottle shared by robert at stateline.. Light orange in color, decent head. Not much aroma. Taste was hops but I guess that is the taste of the "wet hops". Different from most IPA’s, I am used to stuff being "dry hopped". Overall, still a decent beer. Thanks robert for sharing.
