Historical Community Tasting Notes
Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)
Big, stickey sweet hop aroma. Thin clingy head. Light orage in color, lighter than I exspected. Big hops flavir, balanced pretty well with malts and sugar. This is a good IPA, that is not overly "green" with hops, but has a warm, deep hop flavor. Damn Good!
Kind of a weird hazy-orange color. Very good tasting IPA - lots of hops to chew on without going overboard. Very well balanced and clean.
Hops and citrus nose, deep orange, small white head. Very hoppy taste, fairly well balanced. Well made example.
