Apr 28, 2008 Shared with General66 and Illini08 waiting in line at Dark Lord Day. Poured amber with a white and foamy head. Aroma consisted of hops, pine, banana, grapefruit, and some malt. The palate was very crisp; nothing too overpowering but not bland as well. I compared the texture and bitterness to the Bells Hopslam without as much floral tones. Great balance and good Double IPA.

Apr 27, 2008 Bottle (Feb 2008. Batch 7) from Sam’s Quick Shop. Pours dark amber colored with a medium sized head and light lacing. Strong piney hop aroma with a slight sweet background. Taste is citrus and pine hopes with a very sweet malt backbone. Malt overpowers a bit. Complex, not necessarily in a good way.

Apr 25, 2008 Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells of pine resin and citrus. Tastes dry and bitter with a resiny finish. Not much balance in this beer.

Apr 24, 2008 A slightly hazy dark orange-red beer with a huge orange head. Wonderful! Piney hops. Very clean mouthfeel and creamy smooooth.

Apr 23, 2008 On tap at the Flying Saucer Addison. Wonderful fresh hop, floral nose. Poured cloudy dark gold-just a nice looking beer. Taste is very alcolholic, with a strong hop presence. The hops are emphasized but don’t overwhelm the drinkability of this beer. Smooth body with moderate carbonation. This is not a traditional Houston summer beer-that’s for sure. I like this one.

Apr 22, 2008 22 ounce first pour in pint glass. Clear pale copper with lasting head (all the way down) and lace. Grapefruit juice and fresh hop aroma. Peach grapefruit and honey sweetness. Bracing hop bitterness, citrus tang and fresh hop flavor. Fairly dry. Medium-full body medium carbo. Scarily quaffable for such a strong beer. Alcohol well-hidden even when warmed up. Very excellent.

Apr 22, 2008 Pours a clear light amber with a rather large off-white head. Strong aroma of grapefruit and pine. Nice flavor, just a little too bitter for me. I’m surprised it’s over 10 percent, don’t notice the alcohol at all.

Apr 21, 2008 [bottle] Pours a clear copper with a large off white head. Aroma is mostly red grapefruit along with piney hops. Flavor is huge hops, lots of bitterness, and a good amount of malt to back it up. Pretty smooth mouthfeel with a loooooong lasting bitterness.
