Aug 1, 2009 Tap at BT. Aroma of tropical fruits, perhaps papaya and/or passionfruit?...in any case, fruity hop goodness. Flavor adds a big dose of sweet malt to all the fruity hoppiness. Tasty stuff.

Jul 31, 2009 On tap at Blind Tiger. Pours a clear orange with a thick white head. Aroma of citrus, hop oils, and crackery malt. Flavor of some of the same crackery malt and citrusy hops. Very drinkable and delicious.

Jun 9, 2009 Updated: Jun 19, 2009On tap at the 2 Bros. Tap House. Pint served a deep amber with a modest, off-white head that reduced fairly quickly to a layer but left some clingy lacing. Nose was smooth malt, and a solid compliment of floral/citrusy/resiny hop notes. The flavor exhibited a nice balance of the malt and hops, finishing with a decent hop bitterness. A refreshing, standard IPA. 6/18/09, Now a little more sweet, caramel malt is present in the flavor.

Jul 1, 2009 nice enjoyable, possibly sessionable, crisp hoppy offering. has a slight marshmellowness taste to it mixed with heavy resiny piney hop, some notes of caramel. overall something I wouldn’t kick out of the fridge for spilling crackers if a mini keg made its way in there.

Jun 6, 2009 Was on tap @ Map Room. Pours clear amber with small off white head. Aroma of caramel malt, which was stronger than the citrus hops...not really what I was expecting from an IPA. Decent body, easy to drink, but not very strong hop flavor. Was average.

Jun 5, 2009 On tap at the Galway Tribes (Frankfort, IL). Commemorative for and drank on Closing Day. Pours a nice amber hue, a bit dark, reddish, small offwhite head that dies to a film. Aromas are a bit of caramel malt, fruity with some underlying grapefruit, lemon, zest. Body is moderate, caramel and good fruit, a bit underhopped but surprisingly drinkable. Finishes a bit bitter, grapefruit and a touch tropical with faint piney resin. I will truly miss my stomping ground, The Galway Tribes. Cheers!

Aug 2, 2009 Aroma is slightly grainy malt and full of citrus fruits. Taste is very similar. Not complex but not bad.

Jun 7, 2009 Had fresh from the tap at For the Love of the Hops! 2009 festival. Pours a clear red/amber color with about a 1/2 inch white head. Aroma is a strong floral hops with a moderate amount of citrus and pine/resin flavor and low caramel malt notes. Flavor first starts with citrus, moves into pine and caramel and ends with a heavy bitterness. Perfect density and balance between the hop bitterness and sweet malt profile. Overall a great brew.
