12 oz bottle from 2007 hiding out in the back of the fridge….but I found it and now it has met its demise. Malty caramel and caramelized sugar notes with bit of spicy hop notes but not a lot left. Clear deep copper color with small white head. Caramel sweetness in flavor with hefty bitterness to balance. Some tea like hop flavors remaining but not a lot of hop flavor. Finish dries quickly with big residual bitterness. Will have to acquire a fresh bottle and rerate.

Dec 16, 2009 An amber hop monster. Loads of citric hops: lemon, pine, orange and grape but the malts are present too - althoug weakly. Very bitter, and very potent!

Dec 15, 2009 12oz bottle. This is a great IPA. Very hoppy, very bitter and very, very tasty. The aroma is pleasant with hints of citrus and you can taste the citrus on the hops as well. Real well made and truly a balanced flavorful brew.

Dec 15, 2009 On Tap in Philly. Pours a deep amber color with little white head that disappears quickly and almost no lacing. I am not a IPA fan, but this one is pretty good. The taste is dominated by aromatic floral hops taste with a hint of hop bitterness. The taste is bold and this is the best IPA I have had, so I would have it again, but I wouldn’t seek this out.

Dec 13, 2009 Hazy orange color with a meium white head that disappears quickly and leaves little lacing.
Citrus nose with some banana and black pepper.
Immediate hops, but not overwhelming; nicely balanced.
Good body, more than most IPAs.
Decent brew, tasty enough to go back for more.

Dec 13, 2009 Was served this at a Christmas party and was not offered a glass, therefore I can not comment very well on it’s aroma and appearance. The main things that stood out were the flavors of orange peel and the bitterness from the hops. A very enjoyable IPA.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle Thanks to CaptainCougar. Pours light amber color with little off white head that did not retain long. The Aroma is very soft, not much there maybe a little citrus. Then you take a drink and your hit with a spicy and bitter palate that is very delicious. Hops definitely abundant, and in a very good way. Glad to have this one

Dec 6, 2009 Yes, good. I would say it’s even the standard of IP A in the States, even over Dogfish. Go. Buy. Quaff. Enjoy.
