Nice deep amber coloured body with a large off-white head. Aroma of fresh hops, nice malt and a lot of sugars too! Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour tucked in with some good caramel and a nice grassy flavour. Aftertaste potent and revealing all of the good grassy and floral tastes. Overall, a very nice IPA - definitely worth trying again! I sampled this six ounce sample from pseudo-draught at the Old Dominion 2005 Beer Festival on 24-June-2005 in Ashburn, Virginia.

Hazy golden coloured body with a nice white head. Aroma of nice lemons, wheat and yeast. Medium-bodied; Strong yeastie flavour with a lot of lemons and a strong scent of hops! Aftertaste potent, but strong in showing the good flavours. Overall, a nice wheat - especially in the summer heat!
