May 11, 2009 Pours a with a large off-white head, a hazy golden color, lots of lacing. A nice amount of hops as well as nice roasted malts, I get some orange. A big hit of hops with some fruit and citrus, followed quickly by a burst of malt sweetness and some complex roasty flavors. Not much of a finish. A bit old, could be better if it was fresh, but some very complex and tasty things going on.

May 11, 2009 Reddish golden color. Taste have notes af caramel, pine syrup and alcohol. The alcohol is too dominant.
this beer is an owerkill, too much sweetnes and alcohol. I like strong and extreme beers but they have to be in balance and very complex. This is one of the few beers i coulden finish.

May 9, 2009 Pours a thick offwhite head with a clear abber color. the nose is nice and bitter with floral and roasted almond in it. You can really smell the lemon grass and citrus hops. It is a thin bitter IPA with bitter hops and a strong initial bite. It leaves some streaks along the sides of the glass and the head retention is excellent. Overall it has great carbonation and is well balanced.

May 9, 2009 Nice amber color. Aroma of grapefruit, alcohol, mango, faint grass, faint floral, and cream. Tastes lightly sweet with strong alcohol, strong grapefruit rind, and bitter flavor. Beer has an oily texture, average carbonation, medium body, and a long bitter finish. I like this better with food (especially spicy food) - the strong bitterness cleanses my palate.

May 8, 2009 Bomber. Snifter. Outstanding aroma. Pours copper with weak head, moderate lacing. Flavor is less pronounced than the aroma, with the initial explosion of flavors - bitter citrus, pine, some malt for balance - quickly giving way to the 10.27% alcohol, which is fine by me. Palate is outstanding - heavy liquid with active carbonation. Having completed my rating, I’m now enjoying the remainder with spicy scallops and yakisoba noodles. Solid pairing!

May 7, 2009 Pours orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma is pretty hoppy with a little malt. Flavor is well balanced with a strong hop kick and nice sweet malts. Worth trying.

May 6, 2009 Pours a clear orange color with a huge white head that definitely takes it’s time to dissipate. Aroma is citrus hops, with hints of grapefruit and apricot. Flavor is very much hop-forward with just the slightest bit of biscuit malt. A very nice IIPA, but could use a little more in the way of complexity.
