Bottle from Bottle Barn;Nose immediately shows grain and caramel, with vanilla notes; a tiny bit of piney hops is there, but faint; clear yellow-orange with a medium yellow-tinged head; flavor has hop bitterness and a lot of malt, vanilla and caramel mixed with some sweetness; hops show up as a lot more bitterness in the finish. Enjoyable flavors, but not the way I find them in most IPAs.

LIght hoppy aroma. Kind of floral. Orange amber color with a decent off-white head. Starts a bit citrus, gets even more citrus, and the malt is playing background. Some stone fruit shows up. Floral aromas revive. The finish is still citrus, the malt is not all that there, but the hop drops off enough that the finish is nearly balanced. Very different IPA.

Clearish golden coloured body with a nice dense tan head. Aroma of fresh hops, citrus, pale malt and a very ligth sweetness. Medium-bodied; Sharp hoppiness up front with fresh apricots and pears following behind with a good malt backbone throughout. Aftertaste shows hop bitterness and malt going on, with some alcohol and sweetness as well. Overall, a decent IPA - nothing amazing, but nothing horrible either. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Joe’s Place in Oklahoma City (Norman), Oklahoma on 27-May-2007 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

bottle - Pours copper colored with a thin head and a citrus hop aroma. The fruity hops come through pretty well in the flavor, though overall it’s a little on the light side. Still, this ale is fairly enjoyable and easy to drink.

Bottle, marked organic. Pour is rather boring... no head, amber/straw color. Blah. Aroma has some grapefruit/tangerine citrus with a grassy backdrop. Somewhat weak for an IPA. Flavor is a little more interesting... a bit of a pine resin character comes through and balances a slightly sweet caramel malt presence fairly well. That said, it is a little bit watery and would be a lot better if not for that.

22oz bomber. Color is copper with some red and some sort of hazy orange. Thin long lasting off white head. The aroma is a bit too light to really get a good sense of it. I think I get some vague hoppiness like pine and also a hint of malt. The flavor is up front pine hop bitterness with slivers of sweeter pine hop flavor. Following that I occasionally get a thin watery flavor. Then the malts enter with light roastiness, biscuit, melanoidin and wet hay. This IPA is maltier than most and one of the better organic brews I’ve tried.

Organic IPA. Seems to be bottle conditined. Medium orange/amber with an averge sized, sticky white head. Caramel and apricot orange aroma. The sweetness is very subdued and what there is quickly turns to a long smooth dryness that’s not too bitter. Very drinkable and a bit different. Mine was a little flat. A better carbonation would improve the mouthfeel some. Thanks to droopy49 for sending this one!
