A dark hazy amber ale with an extra thick frothy off white head. Aroma of citrusy caramel, and definite profound floral c-hops. In mouth, a classy full bodied IPA with lots of citrus and floral hops. A great IPA. Tasted in August 2007.

Bottle 22oz Pours out a nice amber topped with a off white head. A very nice aroma of hops. The tast is a bit bitter and not what I was thinking it was going to be.

Bottle pours a rather murky orangeins brown. nice full creamy light tan head. Great up front citrusy hop aroma and sweet malts. Flavor is quite sharp and biting citrusy bitterness. Quick malty aftertaste..then right back to strong, a bit harsh bitter. Further sips are more and more big time hops. Medium body and softly carb’d. Very long lasting bitter trailer. Not for the faint of heart, quite strong IPA.

Nice IPA from Full Sail. Citrus and hoppy flavors, good amount of bitterness, and some malts to balance. Crisp hops finish. Nothing outstanding here - just a solid IPA taste.

Bottle. Copper beer with a nice light beige head. Summer fruit/grapefruit aroma with some caramel. Grapefruit and pine flavor with some backing peach/mango. Lingering resiny bitterness. Medium bodied. Easy to drink.

Dull hazy amber. Woody, lightly citrusy aroma with earthy, caramelly malts...the whole thing being rather vague. Crisp, woody hops on the palate with grapefruity bitterness and light toasted sesame bagel malts backing it up. A good IPA isn’t complicated in taste, just execution, and this is solid, despite some misgivings I have about the aroma and appearance.

Poured dark amber with thick head. Strong citrus aroma, specifically oranges and grapefruit. Hop flavor and bitterness predominated with a slight malt balance.
