12oz bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a lightly cloudy dark orange with a quarter-finger of white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and resin. Taste is light bitter. Mostly sour citrus with some caramel malt and earthy resin. Light bodied with a thin yet slick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, pretty good, it may have renewed my faith in "organic" beers. I would gladly drink this again.

Bottle. Pours a mostly clear, orange-gold with a small, filmy white head. Somewhat hoppy aroma with some melon and apricot notes. Flavor has mild caramel malt, then right onto the hops, mostly of the earthy, grassy, piney variety. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a slightly resinous mouthfeel. Finishes with lots of earthy, dirty bitterness. Not too shabby.

12 oz. bottle, bought last October at the ex-Sam’s Wines. Well, definitely past its prime. Medicinal smell upon pouring, though it does dissipate and it sometimes makes me think of extra malts. Hazy copper color, short but persistent head. But hey, there are still hops in here. Mostly English, I think, but with a bracer of some citrus hop. Overall impression is dried grass and bittering alphas. After that initial bit of phenol, it proves to be a pretty nice, standard IPA. More full-bodied mouthfeel that previous organic beers I’ve tried.

Clear amber color, small steady white head. Yeast, rubber, sweaty hops in the nose. Sweaty, fruity (peach, apricot), hoppy and alcoholic. A bit weird for being American IPA.

Clear golden coloured body with a thin white head. Aroma of fresh hops with a good malt presence, coupled with grapefruit and a bit of pine. Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour shows serious hops, fresh malt and a little bit of a metallic twang. Aftertaste has a good malt backbone with some pungent alcohol and more of a hop flavour with a bitter hop finish. Overall, a good IPA, but not amazing. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased on 06-June-2008 from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan sampled on 09-August-2008.
