Jul 17, 2008 Bottle. Appearance is gold with a small head. Aroma is not hoppy, more grain. Taste is a little hoppy, but not really for this style. Not at all a IIPA. Finish is not very bitter. Body is a little thin. Again, not sure how this is an IIPA. Not a good beer beyond that either.

Apr 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of at rade with TheBeerCellar. Pours a clear coppery orange with a thin yellow-white head that faded to an uneven film after the first sip and left a sheet of lace after each sip. Pleasant aroma of caramel and some citrus. The hops aroma was a bit light for an IPA. The flavor was caramel up front with some hops kicking in towards the finish. Smooth, almost creamy on the palate. If the label did not say it, I would not have taken this for an IPA, however, that in no way diminshed my enjoyment of this beer.

Feb 16, 2008 Bottle thanks to TheBeerCellar. Pours amber with good sized off-white head. Nose of pine and hops with a lot of malt. Flavor is rather malty, sweet and some roast. Good amount of alcohol up front with a decent bite of hops that leads to a dry finish.

Feb 11, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Tytoanderso] Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is very grainy with some light hops. Slightly more hops are present in the taste but still far less than I had expected Medium-thin mouthfeel with a somewhat dry finish. I would not have pegged this as a IIPA, but regardless of what it is, I didn’t really care for it.

Jan 20, 2008 Not very inspired. Some hops and medium sweet malt. Lightly bitter, but not enough flavor or palate for a beer of the style. Gold color.

Jan 15, 2008 Sampled at MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering in Maplewood, MN and supplied by tyleranderso. From a 12-oz bottle pours a clear golden orange brew with a fast dissipating white head that leaves behind a thin ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, citrus and grapefruit zest, and a touch of pine. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of mostly citrus zest, some light bread malt and a touch of herb spice. Finish is semi-bitter with a lingering citrus aftertaste long after the finish.
