Day of the Living Ales in Chicago. Nice IPA with aroma and flavor of floral and citrus hops. Well done. The of amount of head of this beer in the pitcher was crazy, looked like you could use a spoon to scoop it out and eat it.

2009 Boulder Strong Ale Festival: Rusty hue. Rich caramel malts with flowery and zingy aromas. Sweetness made me think of Fruity Pebbles cereal. Juicy caramel apple as well. Nip of hop bitterness was nice. Solid and tasty double IPA.

Draught at Boulder Strong Ale Festival. Pours clear orange with a large, fizzy, off-white head, lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (straw, bread), heavy hops (flowers, perfume, grapefruit, citrus), average yeast (dough) with notes of grape and apple. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Crushed with Jakebra at BSAF. Kinda nothing. Smooth, drinkable, and boring. I’ll drink it happily cuz it’s beer, but I expected much more hops than I got.

On tap at BSAF. Poured a clear copper-orange color with a quarter-inch white head that faded to a layer. Aroma of bright citrus (orange, tangerine, soft grapefruit) and some moderately leafy hops with a hint of pine. Sweet, crisp entry with a light spiciness and some soft citrus (orange and tangerine) that trasnitions into a moderately bitter, leafy hoppiness with some soft citrus undertones on the finish. Moderate carbonation and decent dry bite on the palate. Solid IIPA, but nothing really jumps out.

Draft. Pours a hazy yellow golden body with a white head. Nice hop character pineapple, pine, and some earthy bitterness. Dry and very bitter real kick of spices and hoppy resins. Had this again at capones, so much better than the last time. great stuff. 3.9
