Bottled. Hazy orange colour, white bubbly head. Hoppy orange in aroma. Orange at first, and then a hoppy kick in the flavour. Semibitter fruity flavour. Pleasant palate, but a bit too much and too sharp carbonation.

Draft. Amber color with an off-white head. Grapefruit aroma. Balanced flavor of grapefruit, malt sweetness, some pine tar. Easy drinking.

Bottle Pours a hazy light golden color with a very large fluffy off-white head. A strange fruity aroma, with notes of apricots orange and pineapple. Falvorsa re much of the same. Orange, pineapple, and the hops though not very biter for an IPA. Sublte, easy and just OK. Palate is a nice smooth feel and the finish is slightly bitter hop bite.

golden honey colored hazy pour with a tall sticky off white head. Subdued aroma of malt with just a bit of spicy hops. The flavor is slightly bitter with a trace of sourness. Nothing too extreme though, more of a Pale Ale than an IPA. Not bad, but a bit tame. A good one if you aren’t really into the hop monster IPAs.

Florally hoppy aroma, smells slightly sweet. Tastes the same, bit finishes bitter. A bit bland, but not bad. Not the best IPA, but certainly not the worst.

Very hazy orange colour with a thin off-white head. Aroma of grapefruity hops, pine and a complete balance of malt. Medium to Light-bodied; Slightly sweet initial taste with a sudden hop bitterness. Aftertaste shows a lot of hops-but fairly mild. Overall, a decent IPA...good for the style and nothing wrong with it at all. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. and sampled it on 20-December-2003.

An unclear orange beer with a dense head. The aroma is sweet malty with hop notes. The flavor is malty sweet - but without the expected hoppyness and bitterness. A rather boring IPA - for an IPA lover.
