12 oz bottle from Alldaydrinker; nose of flowery hops with some light pine and background caramel; hazy copper with a medium straw head; flavor of light to moderate hop bitterness and a little caramel balance.

A hazy golden IPA with a creamy thick white head. A good floral hops in aroma with light caramel notes. In mouth, an oxidized malt hits you right away, but the hoppy grapefruit keeps your interest, a very simple in your face IPA. Medium bodied.

Pours hazy amber into a shaker. Bright white conglomerate head recedes fairly fast to leave lacing. Sock feet aromas. Flat and slightly caramel with a lasting grapefruit finish. I added a couple of notches overall because I like IPAs.

2004 bottle. Now contract brewed by Concord Brewery. WOW. This just blew me away. When EddieG rates an IPA high, you know it’s gonna be good, but I wasnt prepared for this one. Aroma hints at good things to come. Huge centennial spiciness, bitterness from the that and the Cascades and a bit of floral, fruitiness from the Goldings and again from the centennials. Good caramelized orange candy in there. the flavor is just spectacular. . .Immensely balanced and just full flavored. Candy flavors, light pine hops, plenty of fruitiness and a bit of dry, earthy malt on the very end. Bitterness is perfect, not overthetop and ruining, but lingering and moderate. The flavor that really wins me over though, is the light candied flavor right near the end, reminding me heavily of a fruity belgian dark strong (delirium noel, affligem noel perhaps). No wateriness, the aroma stays down to the end as well. Medium to medium-full body. Big creamy white head that reduces to just a foamy cover, tons of lacing and a deep honey orange color. Clear and filtered. I’ll be getting some more of this. 8/4/8/4/17
2005 bottle, Mercury brewing version. I keep seeing all of these horrible reviews of the beer but I have yet to have a bad bottle. Quite the contrary, it has a foamy white head, low filtration, with sweaty, dusty goldings hops intersparsed between thick citrus, lemons especially. Caramel and cookieish malts provide light sweetness in the nose. The flavor begins dry, with a leafy green hop flavor that washes well over the palate through its soft mouthfeel and low carbonation. The lightly sweet cookie-like malts add balance and tickle the tongue, and then dry out significantly, providing a more biscuity, white bread-like feel on the end, coupled with some house yeast character of the brewery. 7/4/7/4/15
