Apr 22, 2008 Courtesy Oakes @ Merritt Island Throwdown. Clear coper color, sparse thin white head. Stiff floral hop aroma, not overly intense but still pleasing. More aggressive with the hops on the taste, with a slight peppery edge aiding the floral characters. Mild lingering hop finish. Tastes better than it smells.

Apr 21, 2008 22oz bottle. Poured a medium amberish color with an averaged sized off white head. Lots of small suspended floaters. Aromas of ctirus, toasted malts, and floral. Tastes of citrus, caramel, and some pine. Medium alcohol burn in the finish.

Apr 20, 2008 Bomber. Pours clear dark gold, with a thick and lacy off-white head. Fruit and a bit of grapefruit in the nose. Kinda light on the aroma, not in the "I can hardly wait to taste this" league. Medium-full body and light carbonation. Some caramel and fruit in the taste. Pine-bitter and flowery finish. I could do with more citrus from beginning to end. My wife tried a sip. Her verdict: "Stinky, with a bad aftertaste." But that’s her verdict on many IPAs.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. A hazy golden amber color with a white head. A citrus, grapefruit, strong pine and caramel aroma. Intensely bitter with a liquid hop feel. Slightly sweet with a dry pine finish. Quite nice and full bodied with a good malt profile

Apr 14, 2008 I was pretty excited for this brew. With that stated, I was rather unimpressed. Aroma of light grapefruit, inky florals, and cat pee. Pours a nice golden amber color with a nice lasting head. . Flavors of some pretty sweet toffee and caramel, pine, inky florals, and more litter box - if it tastes like it smells. Something was odd here and it seemed a little out of whack. I know there was more malt than I usually like in my IIPA’s, but that was not it. Oh well.

Apr 11, 2008 Bottle: Golden orange color with a nice sandy head. Aroma is sweet and caramel filled with some citrus hops. Lots of sweetness in the flavor profile; plenty of caramel. The hops are not playing much of a prominent role. Thanks to Buckdich for sharing this anniv. ale treat.

Apr 10, 2008 Tried this at the PP Bottle Shop while tasting with wetherel and Sean. Hazy golden color and some white bubblies, with a powerful floral aroma with grapefruit citrus and pine. Good balance with the malt character; the resiny hops stay at the front at all times. Almost tastes like dry-hopped. Plenty of carbonation in the finish, with a lingering green character. Overall pretty enjoyable.

Apr 9, 2008 Pretty good stuff. Strong and hoppy and agressive. Maybe I would’ve liked it a bit more if I didn’t already have a slight headache when I began the beer. And this beer certainly didn’t help it.
