moejuck (1111), Ohio, USA Jun 12, 2008 On tap at Buckeye Beer Engine. This stuff is great. One of the best brews I’ve had in a long time. Muddy orange pour with a nice frothy head. The aroma was lots of caramel malt with the a perfect citrus scent. Great aroma. The mouthfeel is perfect in my opinion. Thick enough, but leaves you wanting to drink more and more. The taste is a fantastically balanced mix of sweet, caramel malt and a wonderful pine hop presence. Really flavorful and tasty stuff. If they bottled this I would buy it buy the truckload! drpimento (534), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Jun 19, 2007 Shazaam! Killer beer. Having a tap of this very tasty beer at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin USA. Poured with a great foamy, frothy huge light tan head. Plenty of lace. Nice dark honey amber color, slightly hazy. Nice nose - plenty of hops, piney, a bit of bread and citrus. Nice mouth. Not too much carbonation. Long bitter finsih complemented by some malty sweetness. jj21 (82), Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, USA Jul 20, 2007 Pours a hazy, dark orange with enormous, creamy off-white head that sticks like spackle to the glass. I swear, I can still feel the head in y stomach. Good ol’ California IPA hop goodness aroma smacks your nose and gets the taste buds worked up. Grapefruit, pine, yadda yadda yadda. Flavors are to die for. Not too thick like a lot of IIPA’s are and is actually refreshing and crisp. This is a dangerous beer for the alcohol! Is it in there? I don’t know. Right up there with Dreadnaught, DFH 90 Minute and Big Eddy IIPA.
TAR (2011), Boulder Co., Colorado, USA Mar 4, 2002 Updated: Apr 2, 2003Bottle-RAF 2002 Wonderful citric, fruity, and hopsack aroma that I could smell all day. Attractive creamy head; extremely chewy hops. This is maxed out to the fullest. The absolute perfect Imperial IPA. Braudog (3464), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Apr 14, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Hallelujah. Dark red, rusty and ruddy. Firm but thin head of white foam. Big rosy aroma. Syrupy. Almost mapley? This is a monster, full of chewy, rich malt, thick like there’s pine branches floating in it. Almost choclatey, it so robust!? Classic!! (#3399, 4/10/2008)
