7th August 2008. On tap at GBBF. Soft IPA. Fruity - well joined up. Some subtle red fruit and a bare hint of blueberry. Soft finish - just a little too dry.

Poured from a bottle. Big head that continually reestablished itself as I swirled it. The aroma and taste live up to the name. Grapefruit hop flavor dominated the tasting. A very good IPA.

A very good IPA. I typically like a lot of hops although, despite it’s name, this isn’t a super hoppy beer. It has a definite grapefruit tone Wichita is a lot of fun. Sports a nice caramel color.

Lovely amber color with a thick frothy head. Aroma of pineapple, pine, and peaches. Very clean hop aroma and flavor. Very dry flavor, with a good snappy bitterness. Quenches the thirst. This is a good all-around IPA, and I’m surprised that I haven’t tried it before.

Nice heady pour. Good carbonation. Slight hazy quality to the orange color. Aroma is weak. Yes, I can smell the hops but I also have too much of the yeast and alcohol smell. Taste is very hoppy and earthy. Palate lingers, nice bitterness. Overall a nice session beer that I would drink again.

I could easily sip on this all night. Great floral aroma. Goes well with Mexican food. One of the more bitter IPAs. All hopheads should give this beer a shot. Goes down smoothly and finishes well.

wow, pours a deep burnt orange with thin white head. aroma is a hop explosion with citrus goodness. Then I take a sip and I feel like I just took a bit out of a grapefruit. one of tue most lingering hop presences I have had. Great finish, this is really good.

amber pour, tons of head...not the most well balanced beers in the world...but it doesnt need to be, great piney, resin, hop flavor
