This ale poured a cloudy dark yellow colour with a nice big, bright white, foamy head. To the nose there are scents of orange and lemon citrus, spruce and grass. Very hoppy notes. First swig was smooth and creamy with a real hopp bite at first. Flavours of pineapple citrus, grass and a little juniper kick you in the mouth at first sip. Tapering off to a hoppy bitter flavour that lasts forever.

sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Inn in North Huntingdon PA this beer poured a dark orange-amber color with a medium sized white head that faded quickly. The aroma was strong tangy piney hops with a touch of catbox. The flavor was strong piney and resiny hops with a touch of catbox and lemon. There was a tangy and sweet malt base and a very long hoppy finish. The body was thick and syrupy.

bottle - Pours hazy orange-yellow with a one finger head. The aroma is mainly citrus hops with some caramel malt. It tastes of assertive citrus hops bitterness with a medium body and some alcohol in the finish along with the long lasting bitterness. it’s a fine brew.

#4000 Bottle from ericandersnavy - thanks for helping me over a big number! Pours quite copper with a fluffy off-white head. Aroma seems to be a complex of floral/citrus/fruit/resin. Medium plus body with fairly strong carbonation. Flavor is quite bitter with a mildly roasted caramel backbone. Finish is rather floral. It’s extremely tasty.

Tap at Clark Street Ale House. Poured dark amber with an orange tint. Aroma was a bit surprising with the usual strong hop characters of pine and citrus but also a grainy malt aroma present as well. Flavor was quite bitter but again a malt undertone especially prevalent in the beginning of the beer.

Pours gold with 60 second head that started two inches tall. The aroma is up front grapefruit hops, some mild pine hops, grassiness and aged malty sweetness. The taste begins with a fresh pulse of grapefruit and tangelo hops. The sweet malts are there the whole time too but take over midway as the hops recede into the background. It ends with fading malt and caramel sweetness and a persistent grapefruit and orange peel hop bitterness. Pretty nice malty IPA below average IIPA.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Norm's, 7/30/09

Aroma: Grassy hops, citrus, grapefruit, caramel, really dominated by the citrus hops
Appearance: Orange color, creamy white head, lots of lacing
Flavor: Nice juicy hop taste (orange, citrus), a good amount of hop bitterness, light caramel/honey malt backing, just a bit of yeast character as well
Palate: Relatively full body, decent duration, hides alcohol well, kind of a silky mouthfeel
Overall Impression: This is an interesting beer, I really like the citrus character this one brings to the table. A nice beer, enjoyable, and does a nice job of hiding the fact that it is 10%. Pretty tasty beer, and something a hop heads and non-hop heads alike can probably enjoy. (Though hop heads admittedly more.)
