Jul 26, 2008 12 oz bottle from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Poured a very slightly hazy yellow/gold. Aroma was of earthy hops. Well malted to balance out the hop content. Overall a very good beer.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange, aroma of sweet hops and alchohol. Flavor is just not right, too much alchohol and no balance, sweet caramalized hops that tasted soapy on the finish, leaves a cloyingness in the back of the throat. I liked Cold Hop, Mojo IPA, Hazed & Infused and had high expections, but just didn’t like this one. Next!!!

Jul 16, 2008 Bottle. Orange pour with a white head. Aroma of grassy hops as well as some piney ones...some pale caramel malt as well. Fairly malt in flavor with grassy notes coming through every now and again. Medium body with and earthy bitter finish. I think this is the most average IIPA I’ve ever had.OK

Jul 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle into sniffer. Crystal clear pour with a orange body with a brownish tint - its gets a 4 because of the unbelievable pillowy white head that leaves great lace. The aroma has more rich (almost barley wine-ish) malt character than I expected; of course, there are some nice citrus hop notes too. The flavor is more complex than I expected, in a similar way as was the case with the aroma - more malt character than expected. The hop character in the flavor is different than the aroma in that it is more piney than citrusy. Pretty thick and coating on the palate with smooth and soft carbonation. Overall: this brew really impressed me, and if you gave it to me without telling me what it was, I would be pretty confident it was a barley wine and not a IIPA. Either way, it was impressive and definitely worth trying.
