Oct 25, 2008 Not a big fan of IPA’s personally but can appreciate that this is is a good one. Bottle pours to amber body with minimal head. Tastes is bitter and dry with a kick of spice similar to what you would expect.

Oct 25, 2008 nice creamy head; strong, inviting hop aroma. medium mouthfeel. good initial hop flavour although aftertaste is very pronounced and tends to leave a harsh aftertaste. worth trying, but not really to my tastes.

Oct 25, 2008 Elegant pour with tons of fruity hop bitterness. Flavor is extremely well balanced and has many hop facets. Palate is full.

Oct 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark amber/orange color with a small off white head. Had a very hoppy and fruity aroma. Had a nice lace that dissipated quickly and a good bite to the taste. A very good IPA

Oct 23, 2008 Aroma nice citrus herbals, floral and woody, faint spices; could smell it while pouring, before I even put my nose to it!
Appearance 2 finger off white head, deep red-orange amber hazy body, foamy carbonation, good lacing
Flavor characteristic hop bitterness is immaculately balanced with floral malt sweetness; much more depth than the average IPA
Palate excellent warming character, medium thickness, lingers and tempts you to to have some more
Overall wonderful drink alone or with a hearty meal, I cant imagine liking too many IPAs better than this one, and Im pretty darn fond of IPAs

Oct 22, 2008 Thanks 17thfloor! Pours a deep hazy amber orange with a nice pillowy off-white head. Aroma is straight up hops, mostly pine but some pineapple fruitiness in the back. A small amount of caramel malt aswell. Flavor starts out with a spicy bite that tickles the tongue and leads the way for a hop kick mid swallow that brings a refreshing bitterness. Finishes sweet and pretty smooth considering the intensity of the hop oils that were just present. Medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Nice IPA, well rounded with sweet and bitter but with a definite kick of spice.

Oct 22, 2008 I’d have to say this is probably my all time favorite beer! This is where the hops are. It’s not easily accessible for me, being that I’d have to drive 1.5 hours to pick up some of this tasty brew. To me, it’s just a very complex brew, but done right!

Oct 21, 2008 wow! pound you in the face hoppy and a full spectrum at that! Lots of aroma and various levels of bittering hops. I hesitate to say it but it is almost too hoppy for me. There is a nice malty backbone to the beer though and it does come through.
