12 ounce bottle shared by MaltDawg at the 16th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 11/5/11. Pours a hazy peach color with a large frothy head. Good head retention. Aroma of citrus, corn and a chemical twang. The taste is bitter hops with some citrus notes. Astringent. Medium bodied.

Hazy golden coloured body with a thick, dense off-white head. Aroma of fresh citrus hops, a lot of yeast, ton of malt and a nice coriander seed freshness not usually picked up with this style. Medium-bodied; Assertive hoppy flavour at first with a pungent spicey and yeastie kick, then showing more of a wit flavour with a decent amount of hops. Aftertaste shows dryness and a touch hoppy character with a good malt backbone and some serious spicey and yeastie flavours coming through at the end. Overall, a nice and rather different IPA - slightly witty, but definitely still hoppy. A nice American IPA and definitely worth trying if you can find it. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 28-April-2011 for US$1.79 sampled this American beer at home today, after visiting the Pentagon on the ten year anniversary of 9/11, two blocks south of the Pentagon on 11-September-2011. God Bless everyone affected and their families on this occasion.

Bottle. Sour lemon peel and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color with nice white head. Strong bitter pine/orange peel flavor and light malt flavor. Nice.

Bottle. Pour is nice enough. A cloudy orangeish gold with a little bit of head and aromas of pineapple, citrus and tropical fruit. I’m enticed to take a first sip and my head nearly explodes! This is pretty awful on the palate. Malt is butterscotch nasty and hops turns into medicinal herbal awfulness. Man... this hits the drain!

On tap at the brewery, Frankenmuth. Clear straw body, thin off-white ring of carbonation. Nose of sharp, bitter citrus rind. Bready body, rather dry, with prominent pine needles and bitter citrus rind. The bready malts provide significant balance. OK.
