Feb 17, 2009 Beer pour copper with a thin white head. Aroma is of citrus hops. Flavor is very hop forward and with little malt flavor. Palate is a bit dry. Overall this beer is ok, but not an IPA that I would go out of my way for.

Feb 15, 2009 Pours a nice copper color with a small white head. The head didn’t last and no lacing at all. Nice hop aroma with hints of grass. A nice blend of bitterness and malt. Hop bitternes way int back of the finish. Nice beer.

Feb 14, 2009 pours a nice deep amber-light ruby color with a thin light tan head. aroma of caramel and very fruity hops...sweet grapefruit and pinapple. flavor is roasty and spicier than expected and very bitter and dry. mouthfeel is nice up front but the finish dries it out a bit too much for me.

Feb 12, 2009 It’s a shocker that this is my 147th rating, because I’ve loved this beer for so long and it was one of my first favorite IPAs. Pours a copper/amber color, very clear for an IPA. Creamy off white head with good lacing. Aroma of pine and some citrus hops, offset with roasted malt. Flavor is mostly hoppy, with pine and grapefruit and sweet roasted malt. Nice bite in the finish.

Feb 10, 2009 People are too biased toward west coast IPAs these days due to the in your face hops, but these east coasters deserve respect for their balance at least. HopDevil pours a dark amber with a nice white head. East coast piney/floral hops on the aroma, along with some sweet caramel malt. Flavor has nice bitter floral hops and a great combined bitter/sweet finish. Some citrus. Average mouthfeel for the style more or less. I like it.

Feb 9, 2009 a- pours a dark, amber hue with creamy white head that is mostly lasting, excellent lacing throughout
s- as the name states, the nose is dominated by earthy, piney, bitter hops with a hint of citrus and sour grapefruit
t- again, taste is of sour citrus hops balanced well with caramel and biscuit hops, strong alcohol presence
m- Medium/heavy body with adequate carbonation
d- Nice tasty IPA that is not too overwhelming, hangs well with its West Coast brethren, unique earthiness stands out well
