Oct 21, 2008 Very solid IPA. Aroma is sweet and citrusy. Lots of grapefruit with an initial hoppy bite that quickly fades. Medium palate. Very smooth and balanced. incredible lacing and an overall extremely creamy body and mouthfeel. An excellent IPA where you can never go wrong.

Oct 20, 2008 Aroma is dominated by Pacific north west hops, and some citrus grapefruit esters. It’s appearance is a medium dark golden with a full white head that is high in retention. The flavor is a perfect balance of malts and aggressive hops. The balance is masterful, with a nice warming feel. Not entirely sexy label, but whatever, it’s what inside right.

Oct 20, 2008 Simply a great beer. Great initial bitterness followed by a flood of pleasing warmth. Enjoy a pitcher on a nice sunny day.

Oct 17, 2008 Updated: Oct 23, 2008(On draft at Magnolia with Dad in Purcelville, Virginia on October 17, 2008) Just had it a few hours ago, but have had a few since then. Seriously hoppy, but not uncomfortably so. Easy going down, easy on the palate, yet spunky and reviving after a long day in transit. I would not suggest this to a non-hop head, however.

Oct 15, 2008 Updated: Feb 8, 2009Bright orange hue with gold highlights, slight haze, thin layer of off-white foam sustains, thick lacing. Moderate hop aroma of sweet citrus (orange/lemon), most bread malts, light chalk and grass. Hop bitterness bites initially and transitions to citrus and light pine hops, grassy tones, bread and light caramel malts, finishes dry and bitter. Palate is medium-bodied, smooth texture, medium carbonation. Overall, and easy drinking IPA with nice hop flavor and strong hop bitterness that lingers, very solid.

Oct 13, 2008 An IPA staple for a good reason. Unmistakable. Light Amber in color and just make me think it would be the best sea fairing bear for the summer. Plenty of hops and the right kinds for me. Maybe Simcoe/Cascade and I dont know what else. I know it’s 3 kinds though. Grapefruit, Orange and a slight citrus tinge is in their.

Oct 9, 2008 12 oz bottle poured medium golden color with a fluffy white head. Floral and citrus hop aroma. Slightly smokey body. Some honey and biscuit in the body with a medium citrus hop bitterness. The body was slightly thin,. Don’t get me wrong, a great IPA, but from all the hype, it was not what I was expecting.
