(sample, can) Hazy golden. Long lasting white head. Citrusy, lemon, perfumy, medium bitter. Medium body. Ok.

Growler. Pour is a a nice orange with a decent head and aromas that are light and fruity but understated. Flavor is fairly solid but not overly assertive. A bit of resin and lightly citrusy.

Sampled on draft at the Map Room in Regent Square this beer poured a dark orange-caramel color with a large orange-beige head that lingered. The aroma was strong sweet fruity hops with a light peppery undertone. The flavor was strong sweet fruity hops, tangy malts and hints of caramel and nut. The finish was long, tangy, sweet and full of fruity hops. Not very bitter despite the impressive hop presence. Fairly full bodied. Very nice.

2007 version. On tap at the Bocktown. Cloudy with a lighter iced tea appearance. Clean smell with barely any detectable aroma. Perhaps some straw in the olfactory. Thin froth for a head. Yes, quite hoppy on the initial flavors. Very mild carbonation. Some hints of straw or hay. Medium hop bitter bite accrues on the palate with each swig. Finish is medium bitterness that hangs for a while. Otherwise, not quite as medicinal or soapy in the finish as most IPA, thankfully.
