Apr 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy orange with white head. I know this was probably a lot better fresh, but I was just now able to get a hold of a bottle. Pine and citrus hops, but the malt has taken over this beer and made it a little more Barleywine like. Still a good beer though.

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle from PUB’N. Pours hazy deep orangy with 1-finger uniform off-white head and great lacing. Nose is heavy piney hops, mango, pineapple, tangerine, caramel malt, and female gymnast feet. Tastes very piney, very hoppy, with tons of tropical citrus fruit, and a solid malt bill that falls off on the malt a bit late, but the hops and citrus fruit continue to pound the palate into oblivion. Rich, juicy palate. This one is delicious.

Jul 16, 2008 Pours gold with a white pillowy head. Smells of resin, touches of spice, some oranges, hints of sweet malt, yeasty. Tastes bitter with some nice resiny hints and touches of sweet malt. Sometimes direct is good and this is definitely a straight shooter.

Jun 28, 2008 Big thanks to Eyedrinkale for bringing a few of these out. Orange golden beer with little head. Aroma is very hoppy. Loaded with pine and orange citrus. Bright and fresh and very tasty. Lean-bodied and dry with a nice chewy resiny spicy hoppiness. Sweet, rich and grapefruity. Delicious.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle shared by EDA at Joe’s. Lots of Christmasy hops in the aroma, light caramel malt. Powerful, out of balance bitter winter hops in the flavor. Very bitter and intense overall. This is one of those IPAs that to me sits precariously between IPA and IIPA... a bad place to be if you ask me. The hops are too much for a normal IPA, but would be fine for a IIPA but would need more malt to back them up.

Jun 26, 2008 Jeez thanks again EDA for another nice find! Mike really must have the best cellar of anyone i know. Pours a skunky hempy earhty aromatic character. A hazy amber body with a rocky head. Lots of skunk and hempy greens. Awesome IPA. How much different from the W.Coast IPA i dunno. Thanks Mike.
