Sep 30, 2008 Bottle: Pours a light copper color with a decent-sized white head...fair retention and lacing. Light malts, resiny hops...and not much else, maybe some mild citrus notes. Flavor follows, dry bitter finish. Not sure how old this was but it was very mediocre.

Sep 29, 2008 FIRST TRIAL: Pours a nice deep orange with a fluffy, off-white head; aroma is a touch grainy along with bitter hops and a hint of citrus; flavor is bitterness in the forefront and slightly grainy and vegetable-y maltiness; smooth mouthfeel and a bitter, slightly warm finish polishes this beer off nicely. Overall, this beer isn’t bad, but not particularly spectacular either, especially when compared to the wealth of great IPAs out there. A decent IPA, that I could see myself drinking again in the future, but nothing I’d rush out to buy again.

Sep 29, 2008 Pours a semi cloudy orange with a small off white head. Aroma is medium sweet with caramel and fruity hops. The flavor is very dry and highly hopped but lacks a good malt backbone that would improve this beer. Very piney and grapefruity. Light to medium bodied, sticky texture. Long bitter finish.

Sep 28, 2008 Pours amber gold, clear with white head and lacing. Aroma of hops, and nothing but hops, citrus & pine. Taste is also hoppy with some malt. Finish is hoppy bitter. Mouth is medium and a little sticky.

Sep 27, 2008 Pours an amber color with light off white head with a bit of lacing. Aroma is of a piney hop, and light caramel malt. Taste matches the aroma with intense piney hops. Still, it’s a bit abrupt and not as hoppy and smooth as I’d like.

Sep 24, 2008 The aroma is hoppy to be sure, an earthy, piney sort of hoppyness. The appearance is an attractive ruby red, with a persistent white head. the flavor is bitter hops, balanced out by malts, imparting a chocolate and toffee flavor. The finish has a nice lingering burn of citrusy hop flavors. Good IPA overall.
