RBSG A large head came from the pour that sat above a hazy amber body. Flowery, resiny hop aroma. The flavor balance runs towards the bitter side, lots of hops here. Very nice solid IPA.

A hazy amber beer with a huge white head. The aroma is like a hop-bush combined with grass. The flavor contains notes of citrus especially clementines, hops, and grass. The hops giving it a good bitter finish.

Woohoo! $1.99 a bottle, you say? That's groooooovy, baby.
This is an outstanding IPA. Brings to mind quality offerings by Sierra Nevada (Celebration Ale), Bell's (Two-Hearted Ale), and Dogfish Head (90 Minute IPA). Has a cloudy red body topped with an off-white head. The citrusy aroma (grapefruit notes esp.) opens up as the beer warms and allows sweet malts to join the festivities. 76 hits the tongue with earthy, citric hops balanced by medium maltiness. Citrus, including that orange peel, is especially noticeable at the back of the tongue and in the aftertaste. That aspect reminded me of Celebration Ale. To sum it up, this beer kicks all available ass, then goes out and finds more ass to kick until its foot is numb and its thirst for ass-kicking is quenched.

Mucho gracias to alcfron for this amazing brew. 2002 bottle (the first of many hopefully): Pours a deep orange with a medium off-white head and nice cascade and thin lacing. Unbelievably floral hops aroma with a hint of citrus. As for the flavor, well the relentless hops assualt is second only to Ruination as far as I am concerned. That may be why I actually like this one more. While the hops are definitely first and foremost, they don't go overboard as much as Stone's version. It made for what I now consider to be the IPA to beat in my book. There are also underlying malt, caramel and toasty tones that balance it very well. I was hoping I had saved the best for last in this Buckeye tasting session - mission accomplished! Superb.
