Sep 22, 2009 Really quite smooth for an IPA. Spot on sweetness. I was expecting scorched earth, but this was downright silky.

Sep 20, 2009 Tasted 1/09/2009. 750ml, cork and wire. The second day of an extended break in Sunshine Coast, Australia. I brought some gold with me because I knew I’d be struggling to find a hop, let alone a hoppy beer, on this trip. Hazy amber. Gorgeous aroma of peach, geranium, caramel and a bready slightly yeasty note. Big bitterness and strong hop flavour is very well balanced by a solid malt depth. Estery. earthy. Peppery. Complex. Delicious IPA going on Barleywine.

Sep 19, 2009 Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours dark amber with an off-white head. Nose is citrus (grapefruit), caramel, and slight pine hops. Flavor is very similar with a balanced bite and a nice malt backbone. Interesting IPA.

Sep 17, 2009 750 bottle- Cloudy amber color, Inch thick head. For this being a strong IPA, it’s pretty mellow. I don’t even taste the alcohol at 8.5 %. Hops are more present as it warms. A very enjoyable double IPA.

Sep 9, 2009 Pours copper. Nose is citrus hops, grapefruit, and sweet caramel. Flavor is much the same with some thinner characteristics. Drinkable none the less.

Sep 7, 2009 Beautiful copper dark orange pour, nice murky, rich look with sizable attractive head. Hop aroma grabs your attention. Strong hops flavor hits pretty hard at first then smooths out as it warms. My favorite smokestack.

Sep 7, 2009 Beautiful reddish copper hue with a big, rocky cap of foam. The hop aroma is fairly subdued for an IIPA, as is the hop flavor. The bitterness sufficient and is held in check by the solid amount of malt, unfortunately, it just doesn’t leave a memorable impression.
