Poured a hazy orange color with a small off white head. Aroma is hopped up and citrusy, not much pine. Flavor is also very citrusy hops but balanced very well with malt, not the hop bomb i expected.

Feb 9, 2010 Probably a crazy hop bomb when fresh, had it two years old. Aroma and taste are still nice and hoppy, but the majority has probably faded leaving a huge malt backbone with some bitterness. Good beer, wish I could try it fresh!

Jan 12, 2010 Bottle from 2006, so this will be interesting. Pours a very hazy ruby hued brown with a thin white head. Surprisingly there’s still a good bit of hop presence, but definitely faded and turning to mostly malt with some plum and prune notes. Medium bodied, very malty, a little bit boozy. Finishes up with a long lingering bitterness and more plum and prune malt flavors. I’d love to try this fresh.

Jan 10, 2010 Bottle. 2006 vintage. "Best when consumed by March 31, 2007". Actually consumed on January 10, 2010. Deep copper-amber with a thin head and fairly still body. Aroma is like malt and pineapple candy - a little stale, perhaps, but in pretty good shape considering the age. Flavour is initially quite sweet, with notes of floral honey and tropical fruit, and finishes with a moderate bitterness that has subtle citrus notes. I suspect that there was a lot of hoppiness going on when this beer was fresh, but even in it’s advanced state, it’s still a big and flavourful brew, just not a monstrously hoppy one.

Dec 29, 2009 Pint on tap in NYC. Pours a nice golden amber color with minimal head, very appetizing. Aroma very floral and sweet and a little spicy. Maybe a little fruitiness mixed in there as well. Taste was bitter and sweet with some spices, reflecting the aroma. Smooth palate given the high bitterness- reminds me of more of a pale ale. Crisp, refreshing aftertaste.Well made IPA and far superior to the 312 I had a few months ago.

Nov 9, 2009 2006 bottle courtesy of Ughsmash. Pours a hazy caramel color with thin white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy with notes of caramel, honey, yeast, wheat, light floral esters. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of caramel, light grapefruit, honey, floral hops, light citrus. Medium body with a pleasing floral hop and malt finish. For 3 years old, this beer still had some floral hoppiness to it.

Nov 8, 2009 Draft. Pours hazy orange amber with a white head. Weird herbal and sweet flavor. Not that good. This reminds me a lot of the Capt. Lawrence IIPA I had on draft a few months ago that just seemed completely off. I’m thinking maybe it was a bad keg or something with the tap lines or something because I love my IPA’s and this beer was just not good. I look forward to trying this fresh out of a bottle at some point.

Nov 8, 2009 Pours a deep orange. This was a 06 bottle so most hops have faded. Still had some nice floral and citrus hop nose along side some sweet caramel hops. Flavor is bitter hops, sweet malts and toffee. Some oxidation. Really want to try this fresh.
