On tap at the brewpub it is a clear light amber color with a slight head. The aroma is citrus and the taste is a strong grapefruit flavor that lingers bitter on the palate

Bottle thanks to popkas. Poured a clear amber gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a clear musty pine note with a bit of underlying hay. Flavor had the same musty pine note that was a little off putting with a slight grain finish.

22 oz. bomber purchased at the Liquor store on Summit Drive in Frisco, Colorado (Antler’s). Pour is dark golden, copper with a two inch well formed white head. Head is quite lasting, and falls with nice lace. Aroma was immediate bitterness of pine and floral, though the hop is a bit muted, and is melded nicely with a caramel toasted malt. Nice balance for an IPA, reminds me of more of a British IPA. Taste is the nose, though a bit less clean - balance of caramel toasted malt, along with the pine and floral hops. Finish is dry and bitter. Palate is medium bodied, a bit oily, and a nice bitter after taste. Nice enough.

Relatively bright amber colour. Slightly piney, passionfruity with popcorn malt character. Slightly faded hops...oxidation gets a little metallic.

Bottle. Nice amber color with almost no head, but it has a great citrus/pine hop aroma. You'd think there would be more hops in the flavor. It starts out fairly mild condiering it's an IPA with a great aroma, then gives way to a malt back bone with lingering bitter hops that then fades quickly. A bit watery. Flavor has some caramel, pine tar, citrus, but it doesn't last long enough.

Perfect amber colour with a tan head which is fairly dense. Piney hop aroma with a secondary yeast and bread scent. Some citrus aroma as well. Subtle hoppiness in the taste which fades in the palate and leaves a nice malt background. A decent IPA, but is not a close competitor with the top 50's! Best before September 2003. I bought this 22 ounce bottle from Total Beverage in Thornton (Denver), Colorado.
