Oct 30, 2007 GABF 2007: Poured an almost clear golden yellow color with a medium off-white head. Hop forward citrus aroma with some biscuity malt underneath. Big but not overdone. The flavor had a great mix of big citrus and piny hop on top of malt. Medium to full bodied and nice warming in the chest. This was one of the better IIPA and beers I had at the fest.

Oct 15, 2007 Huge pine aroma. Huge bitterness and sticks to your tongue and doesn’t let go for a very long time. Alcohol is apparent but does not detract from the beer.

Oct 14, 2007 GABF 2007. A very good beer. Huge, piney hop presence w/ a alcohol bite. Very dry finish.

May 22, 2007 Draft at the Brewpub: Orange/copper pour with a large white head and thick lacing. Nose is heavy on the hops with both citrus and pine. Taste again well hopped with lots of citrus and pine notes, some caramel and maltiness. Has that nice sweet/sour balance and a little warming effect.
