Quotes:  "This is what I imagine melted horse hooves to taste like"  "You imagine a lot of weird shit"

Aroma:  6/10, Smells like hops
Appearance:  2/5, Very amber, low head.  A little like southern style sweet tea
Taste:  6/10, Hops in the front, malt in the middle, bitter in the tail.  Rabbit reference.
Palate:  2/5, Weak mouth feel, tiny bit acidic

In closing:  Pretty decent for a hoppy beer from a small brewery.  Nice bottle art, drinkable IPA, almost session-esque if not for nearly 7% alcohol.
