4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JAN 15, 2003 Excellent nose; teases the olfactory senses before the first sip. Mouthfeel is soft and gentle. The flavor has a curiously intense, yet controlled hoppiness. Malts are thick and sweet, complementing the large dosage of hops perfectly. Wonderful hoppy aftertaste lingers; bitterness resides on the tongue too, well after swallowing. This beer really warms your throat and soothes your mind. Very relaxing and tasty.

Holy moly is this stuff hoppy. Right from the start you get a huge whaft of hops in the nose - like fresh cut flowers. I'm partial to these kinds of beers. The body is thin-ish and quickly turns to a sharp and complex hop character that leaves a lingering bitterness in your mouth for minutes. Zesty and peppery. Reminds me of Bigfoot. Strong alcohol and an insane amount of hops - my kind of beer!

This to me is a barleywine/IPA mixture. One of the few beers of this type that are dominated by hops. Best served with chicken wings that have been marinated in hog heaven and fried in bacon drippings.

This beer was by far the best of the night. I was intrigued from the start by the 100 IBUs. The aroma was all about the hops with notes of alcohol and fruit. The taste was perfectly balanced...much like a foghorn. This beer was like crossing a belgian and an IPA....very refreshing, very addictive, I want more!

Pours amber with thick off white head. Aroma has hops and caramel. Taste is big on the hops with nice blend of malt and caramel. Nice thick mouthfeel. This one is fresh and comes off more like a IIPA. Very similar to Maharaja. I love my hops and this was good.

nice garnet color with a smallish white head. a semi-sweet citrus hop aroma. striking bitterness is the first reaction upon tasting that gives way to a mellow, tangy sweetness. lngering sourness that turns sweet. enjoyable and memorable.
