Draught @ Collins Pub, Seattle. Rated on 16.07.2012
Aroma has fruity hops with apricot and hints of resin. Flavour has some floral hops, and slightly sweet fruits with hints of caramel. Rather good and hoppy IPA ? and not too sweet.
8+4+7+4+16=3.9

Aroma has sweet fruity hops and caramel. Also hints of fruit candy. Flavour is hoppy with tropical fruits, some caramel, resiny tones and hints of grapefruit. Quite typical American IPA. Good.
8+4+7+4+15=3.8

Can. Darkish amber with a large white head that sticks around. Aroma of grapefruit, caramel, a little kumquat, pineapple. Smells oddly empty like a garnish alone on a plate. But there is something under the aromatic hops, albeit fairly plain caramel and not much of that. Lots of citrus zest, herbs, pine, some grapes. Bitterness at the end is about enough. Watery, vacant palate. Not my sort of thing at all.

Hazy amber beer. Semi soft palate. Creamy malt, well integrated with grapefruit hops that are not too bitter. Some orange underneath. Finishes semi dry. One of the beers that isn’t shouty but creeps up on you with subtlety and charm. Another good sign is how quickly the can dissapeared.

Can @ The Rover. Pours clear amber with a small creamy offwhite head that slowly dissipates while leaving a small lace on the glass. Smell is rather subtle and slightly sweet with pineapple, mango, papaya, pine, lemon zest and hints of caramel and alcohol. Taste is sweet and slightly bitter with caramel, gummi candy, pine, grass, orange zest and hints of alcohol. Mouthfeel is round, tiny sticky sweet and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with caramel, pine and orange peal.

July 2010: 12Oz can purchased from ’Beers of Europe’ here in the UK. Poured the beer into a ’Hoegaarden’ Grand Cru glass. Looked good, huge cream coloured head sat on top of a dull, hazy, dark amber/orange body. The head produced some heavy lacing and tried to stay throughout the tasting. The nose was of yeasts and hops along with some grain type esters. The hops from the aroma take over the taste completely, a real bitterness hits the mouth and throat. Why do they (or is it you?) have to over hop everything in the US when they brew an IPA? There really is no need to do so. It isn’t as bad (hop wise) as some I’ve reviewed, but still too hoppy for my tender tastebuds. It is true to the American IPA style and I think one of the better examples I’ve had (I am not a huge fan of the style though).

12 oz can from a trade with dmac. Pours slightly hazy orangish color with off white head. Grapefruit rind and caramel aromas. Bitter grapefruit rind flavor with some citrus and a hint of malt sweetness. Thin body with moderate carbonation and a slight dryness. Thanks Dave.

Can thanks to wavers. Pours a hazy burnt orange with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has a good amount of pine hops, with a bit of grapefruit and a sweet grain/cereal backing. Flavor begins with sticky sweet grains but finishes with some bitter pine and a just a bit of grapefruit.
