Dec 21, 2009 Bottle: Golden straw, cloudy, large frothy white head, sticky lacing. Sweet citrusy hop nose. A little candyish in its sweetness. Smooth sweet citrusy hoppiness on the tongue. Now this stuff is good! Hops linger, but also this citrus zing that’s rather sweet. Rather well balanced between bitterness and sweetness. Lingering citrus bitterness at the finish. Glad this has a sweet aspect for an IIPA. Could stand to be a bit maltier, but as is its well balanced. I could drink several of these. Yeah!!!

Oct 30, 2007 GABF 2007: Poured an almost clear golden yellow color with a medium off-white head. Hop forward citrus aroma with some biscuity malt underneath. Big but not overdone. The flavor had a great mix of big citrus and piny hop on top of malt. Medium to full bodied and nice warming in the chest. This was one of the better IIPA and beers I had at the fest.
