Pours clear amber with off white head. Aromas of pine and citrus (grapefruit). Sweet flavor that starts slightly malty and finishes very hoppy. Creamy and oily mouthfeel with a medium body and soft carbonation. A solid IPA.

Bottle from WFM Charlottesville. Good God is that a strong hop aroma. Also some sweetness in the aroma. Faint sweetness in the taste juxtaposed with a straightforward but not overpowering hop profile.

Best Before: May 2006
Super clear amber/copper coloured body with a very thin slightly off-white head. Aroma of nice fresh hops full of pines and spruce with a mouthwatering quality. Medium to Full-bodied; Sharp hoppy flavour with pine and flowers most common with a good malt backbone and a decent alcohol taste. Aftertaste shows a lot of the hop character with little else aside from reasonable malt. Overall, a decent beer...a bit lacking in general, but good for an IPA. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 19-Dec-05.

12 oz. bottle from mj. Best before Feb-08 on label. Pour is clear orange gold with a one inch white head. Aroma of some sweetness, mostly malt biscuit sweetness, though it blends well with a nice ripe orange sweetness as well. Further back in the aroma is resin and earthiness. Taste has a nice blend of the sweet malt and citrus hops. Finish is wet, and a bit longer than I would like. Palate is nice and full, hiding the fairly high ABV (for an IPA). Nice beer all around, thanks for sharing this one Mike!

Draft: Buttery aroma. Amber color, thin head, good lacing. Orange peel taste, not complex. Nice hop finish. Sticky mouthfeel.

bottle - Pours clear copper with a thin head. There’s lots of citrus hops in the aroma and it’s very nice. There’s also a good, intense citrus hops dominated flavor backed by some pretty well balanced caramel malt. This medium bodied beer ends in a long, pleasantly bitter finish. Very fine IPA.

Goût amer de houblon floral frais, citrique (pamplemousse) avec de petites notes résineuses et herbeuses (qui dure toute la gorgée) ainsi qu’un goût fruité (abricots, moyen d’agrumes, léger de pêche, notes de poires) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de biscuits sucrés et de caramel très doux puis en finale l’on assiste à un regain d’amertume plus asséchante, plus citrique et légèrement plus herbeuse accompagné de notes d’alcool doux et d’épices (notes de poivre et de menthe). Post-goût très long et sec, amer de houblon floral, citrique (pamplemousse), aux notes herbeuses et résineuses avec un léger goût fruité (pelures d’abricots) et de petites traces d’alcool très doux.
