Received in trade from jbck109, thanks for the opportunity.

Pours a clear deep golden copper color with a stingy white head that exhibits little staying power. Smells exudes all the usual suspects, citrus mostly in the from of grapefruit with a caramel malty background and hints of pine and a slightly earthy character. Taste is pretty much what I expected from the aroma. Caramel malt that succumbs to the grapefruit and pine onslaught and a long lingering citrus aftertaste in every sip. Maybe I imagined this, but halfway through the first glass I started picking up some garlic in the flavor. Medium to full body with a moderate level of carbonation, creamy and resinous mouthfeel. Nice old school style IPA heavy on the c hops and very easy to drink. Glad I got to try this.

Serving type: bottle

Reviewed on 6/27/2010. On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear light orange with a thick white head. Aroma of citrus, piney hops, and caramel malt. Flavor of caramel malt, bitter hops, and floral hops. A nice IPA, and overall it was very drinkable and enjoyable.

Serving type: on-tap
