Light hoppy. Milky brown, lacing head. Light milk acidic, citrus, fairly grassy. Good chewy body, dry sparkly. Grassy, citric aftertaste.

Vielen Dank an Chris, der mir ein frisches Exemplar vor Ort besorgt hat! Orangene, leicht trüb wirkende Farbe, mittelmäßig haltbarer leicht orange/brauner Schaum. Der Geruch ist angenehm fruchtig und IPA-typisch. Das Bier gibt sich im Antrunk mild, leicht malzkaramellig-süßlich. Zum Hauptteil hin verdichten sich die Hopfenaromen und die Bitterkeit, aber sehr angenehm. Es kommt eine frische hofen-zitronige Note auf, deren Herbe angenehm über dem Gesamtbild schwebt. Sehr frisch, blumig, schön vollmundig, immer in Verbindung mit dem angenehm malzig-süßlichen und weichen Charakter des Bieres. Der Nachgeschmack ist angenehm abgewogen, nicht zu penetrant herb, sehr schön und lang anhaltend!
--> Im Gegensatz zu Etikettendesign und Flasche ist der Inhalt doch sehr zu empfehlen! Sehr gelungenes IPA! (31.3.2011) --> Noten: 12,12,12,12,1,12 - 11,45

Draft. Deep gold/dull orange body. Fluffy white head. Aroma of resin, grapefruit, toasted grain, caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Taste of grapefruit, resin, pine. Lingering bitterness. Raw hops. A bit muddled.

Crisp copper and amber coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall tan head - very nice looking. Aroma of fresh grassy and herbal hops, a nice malt backbone and a fresh fruit sweetness at the end. Medium-bodied; Nice lightly assertive hop flavour of pine and grapefruit with a very mild malt backbone showing a little depth and a very minor alcohol note with a hint of sweetness. Aftertaste is rather underdeveloped with a hint of the hops, a little malt and not much else, but an easy-to-drink IPA. Overall, a decent beer, but not great and not comparable to the IPAs from the West Coast. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Three Cellars in Franklin, Wisconsin on 05-September-2012 for US$1.89 sampled at home in Washington on 16-December-2012.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange amber with a medium off white head that dissipates leaving clumpy lacing. Immediate aroma is spicy rye, but that fades quickly to spruce, pine resin, biscuit. Flavor its medium sweet caramel, pine, light bitter finish with buttery notes. Another one that seems aged on the shelf to me.

Bottle @ Brad’s house. Pours a bit hazy, dark orange appearance with a fluffy, tan head. Grapefruit, pineapple, tropical fruity, herbal hoppy aroma. Somewhat bitter, grapefruity, mango, somewhat herbal/woody hoppy, somewhat toasty malty flavor. Pretty decent.

Pour is a amber with a small white head. Aroma is a nice pine hop with a caramel malt. Flavor is more malt dominated. Big caramel malt followed by a decent enough hop profile. Malts dominate the hop and this is more of a British style pale ale more then anything. Still a decent drinker with a malty backbone.

Sweet bonus IPA from a recent trade, thank you. The 12oz bottle pours semi opaque copper with gold hues and thin off white to light tan head. The modest aroma offers up spicy hops, earthy hops and some citrus hops. The aroma seems a bit blunted by its modest strength. The taste has a mix bag of grapefruit like citrus hops mixing with a fairly big earthy to spicy hoppiness that creates an herbal grassy somewhat bitter hop sensation. It is a little different but I am enjoying it. It just caries on that way being a bit of the watery side right into the finish with largely bittering hops as opposed to flavor hoppiness. Enjoyable IPA for sure.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a white frothy head. Aroma is floral, piney hops, citrus, and some malt; all the usual suspects. Taste is along the samelines; citrus up front with piney hops with a nice malty backbone. Mouthfeel is full bodied with a good level of carbonation. Finish is dry with some lingering bitterness. A pretty balanced IPA thats not too complex.
