22oz bottle–pours a rich brown head and black color. Aroma is sweet dark malt-molasses/chocolate, wood, secondary pine hops. Taste is ashy/roasty, dark malt-molasses/chocolate/coffee, wood, secondary earthy/acidity pine hops. Mid-palate the sweetness comes thru but is still dominated by ashy and acidic. Full body.

July 2009 Beer of the Month Club , 8/3/09
Aroma: Citrus, spice, bready, other fruits
Appearance: Hazy orange-amber color, 1/2 inch foamy white head, lots of lacing
Flavor: Light hop taste, bit of spice malts, light, a touch dull for me
Palate: Lightish body, clean, easy to drink
Overall Impression: A bit dull for me, but not bad. I just would prefer a bit more character across the board...

July 2009 Beer of the Month Club , 7/31/09
Aroma: Light citrus nose, touch of spice, bready, some grass
Appearance: Cloudy orange-golden color, really small white head, light lacing
Flavor: Kind of a light hop taste, mild spice, bit of a tang, a little dull flavor-wise
Palate: Light body, a bit fizzy
Overall Impression: This beer is just kind of boring. Not a ton going on here. It's not bad, certainly has more character then you're average light, beer, I'll give it that, but in the end it's just a little too dull to go much higher then this.

i gave high marks for my surprise, I wasnt thinking this was going to be all that remarkable, but it really is, a great IPA, not on the same tier as some Cali IPA’s but a worthy contender.

Cisco Sucks! Cisco Sucks! Well, at least their quality control does. Once again, I get an explosion of foam and have to wait 20 minutes until the beer is at least remotely drinkable. Pours all foam into a shaker. Meringue head fills glass and seafoams as it recedes. Lemon joy aromas. Crisp lemon muffin upfront turning to a sharp metallic hop finish. Not a bad beer once the negative pour experience recedes.
