Bottle. Incredible aroma. This is what all IPA’s should aspire to in terms of aroma. Rich, sweet, syrup and tangerine. Luscious hop nose. Slightly hazy, reddish amber body with plentiful visible carbonation. Yellowish tan, milky smooth, tight bubble head that is reminiscent of a cask head. Wonderful sheet lacing. Tastes nearly identical to the aroma. Smooth, creamy, hoppy and almost perfectly balanced. Could use maybe a touch more sweetness and strength, but I’m not complaining. This is a top notch IPA that got perfect scores in 3 of 5 categories. I hope they bring this back. This is a sessionable, go to IPA.

Dec 5, 2009 Tasted at Beer Dabbler in St. Paul. Kind of a nice, refreshing beer. Like sitting at Key West drinking an exotic fruit drink, but with a bit of pine and grass from the hops. Nice aftertaste.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks David Cohen. Clear deep golden color. Strong citrusy and very floral aroma with oranges and grapefruit mostly. Sweetish flavor with some malt, lots of citrus fruits, candy hints and lots of bitter hops in the lingering finish. Medium-bodied. Feels a bit watery.

Nov 26, 2009 Pours a cloudy orange with an extremely thin white head. Smells of fruits, mainly oranges, pineapple, and citrus. Tastes of citrus, with a predominate taste of oranges and gives off a bitter finish. Very nice beer, very drinkable.

Oct 12, 2009 Thanks to noncaloric for this great bonus beer. Pours clear orange with a white head. Nose is malt, honey, sweet citrus, orange, tangerine, some apricot, and a bit of pine. Flavor is sweet malt up front, sweet citrus mid, and slight bitterness in the finish. Pretty good, but not as sweet as I would have imagined having been brewed with orange peel. Medium bodied, nice IPA.
