Dec 7, 2008 On tap at the 2008 Strong Ale Festival. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, pine, melons, and some malts. Tastes of citrus, melons, caramel, and pines.

Aug 3, 2008 Draft at Belmont Station. Perfectly adequate for an I2PA, though I didn’t catch onto the Award-Winning characteristics.

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.

Oct 15, 2007 Huge pine aroma. Huge bitterness and sticks to your tongue and doesn’t let go for a very long time. Alcohol is apparent but does not detract from the beer.
