Two bottles shared with blankboy, HogTownHarry, jerc, mabel & tupalev - courtesy of HogTownHarry & blankboy. Deep orange with a small off-white head. Solidly hopped aroma and flavour - lots of orange zest, a bit of pine resin - with just enough malt to keep it under control. Long, well-bittered finish. Medium bodied. Quite enjoyable.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, Jerc, Mabel, and GregClow, courtesy of Harry and Mr. Blank (two bottles). Dark orange, small white head. Resiny hop aroma - yum. Great hoppy taste - again resiny, oily. Awesome, loved it, my favourite style done very well.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours a gold/deep orange with frothy white head. Quite a nice IIPA, but pretty standard for the style. Grapefruit, orange peel, caramel malt, floral hops, and hints of bread. Tastes good, worth a try, but nothing special.

Aug 20, 2008 Amber in color with a small light brown head with almost no lacing. The aroma is of citrus, hops, and caramel with a hint of molasses. The flavor is hoppy with a somewhat sweet start and a bitter finish. The texture is syrupy. Not bad, but nothing special.
