Aug 14, 2007 Cask at the alehouse. Pours a foggy ruby with a nice creamy white head and lots of lace. Aroma is strong, citrus, piney hops. Beautiful. Nice malt presence too. Taste is smooth, creamy, bitter and citrusy. Very nice hoppy taste. Perfectly balanced. Alcohol nowhere in site. Very impressive. A very fine IIPA.

Jul 24, 2007 Light-hazed copper, rather thin otherwise, with a short head leading quickly to an off-white halo. Lemony/acetone aroma with vacu-form plastic... not really enjoyable in that regard. Sticky bodied with a dry finish. Hoppy flavor atop lightly honeyed malts. Alot of spiciness with pepper & grapefruit. It came back strong, but I was too annoyed by the nose to truly enjoy this.

Jun 22, 2007 Had this on tap at the alehouse. Great citrus aroma to this. Very easy to drink for a big IIPA i wish i could drink this all the time. Probably the best beer barleys makes.

Jun 11, 2007 A nice aroma of fruity hops. Flavor of this on regular tap is creamy almost but quite enjoyable. The firkin sample was warmer and uncarbonated. Both finished a little weak, but overall nice.
