Cloudy amber colour. Lime, cherry, woody hop aroma. Moderate bitterness, fruity notes, some light tangerine. OK, middle of the road example, built for easy refreshment.

(12oz, thanks Bück Dich) Medium off-white head atop a clear apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, pine, grapefruit, some grape. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some grape, pine, bread, light caramel. Light-medium body, light acidity, easy drinking. Surprisingly balanced for a West Coast IPA.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007 Hoppy fruity aroma. Small white head. Golden coloured hoppy and fruity with a crisp and bitter dry finish.

12oz bottle given to me by whaleman (thanks for looking out for new IPAs for me!). Poured a medium and cloudy oragne color wtih a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of juicy oranges, grapefruit, and light caramel. Tastes of citrus and light caramel. Lighter bitterness. Subdued IPA.

(Bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of citrus, light pine, and caramel. Flavor of caramel malt and hops.

Pours a clear bronze with a thin, nicely-lacing white head. Aroma is lightly caramel malty sweet with some fresh piney, citrusy hops. Body starts mildly sweet with some crisp, lightly bitter grapefruity hop flavor and a touch of grainy malt. Finishes bittersweet and lightly sticky. Nicely balanced and very drinkable IPA. Thanks to wohlfs for the bottle!
