Oct 26, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear amber hue with a medium white head and sticky lacing. The aroma is caramel, rich citrus hops. The flavor is nice; caramel and earthy malts, bitterness, English hops, light tropical fruit and bitter in the finish. Nice. Easygoing.

Aug 29, 2009 12 oz bottle via Mys Swap 4.0 (thanks j12601!). Pours a clear copper with a HUGE HUGE chunky beige head. Nose is perfumy. Taste on this is of....an old bitter shoe? Dusty, dirty, earthy hops. Spices. Green beans... I almost wonder if this is infected considering the huge huge head? No real sourness, but just OFF, in a big way. I cannot imagine anyone would make a beer to actually taste like this on purpose? Whatever, down the drain she goes.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear ruby hued caramel amber with a large lightly tanned beige head. Big clean citrus hops with a nice caramel note. Medium to thick bodied, but the nice hop notes from the nose give way to a big cardboard flavor and a lot of empty malt. Finishes bitter. Just bracingly bitter with no subtlety or balance. Started off with some promise but fell flat.

Aug 13, 2009 Deep copper pour with creamy off white head and lace. Medium hop aroma, apples, caramel malt. Semi sweet malt with a nice resiny bitter. Thin and watery with smooth carbonation.

May 15, 2009 had this on tap at the Hotel in Corning. Very nice IPA, sl haze golden color, some florals and mostly about the hops all the way to the bitter finish. Not much play by Malt.

May 6, 2009 Pours a mahogany body with an off white head. Strong pine and hop resins with a hint of copper. Pine grass and a moderate amount of caramel malt to balance. Strong cloying bitter earthy almost metallic lingering. Wouldn’t drink again.

Apr 30, 2009 Bottle thanks to Skyinbrian. Pours a coppery color. Nose is sweet and definitely has EKG, though minimal cascades. I get some dust from the crystal malt as well. On taste, hoppier than I anticipated, kind of an astringent bitterness as well. Little to no caramel malt flavor and a touch skunky tasting. It’s alright.
