Rciesla (712), Brick City, New Jersey, USA May 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with a little bit of lacing. Floral pine and some honey. Peach, and lemon in the flavor. A good beer.
kosko20 (32), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Jul 26, 2008 Sweet, strong aroma of pine and fruits. Looks good, reddish glow to it. Yeah, flavors of orange and lemon along with bitterness of the hops. Not a great beer but I love IPAs so it does it for me. MilkmanDan (1936), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Jul 25, 2008 Deep red, lots of foam. Nose barely there, a faint hint of pine, bit resiny, but not much going on. Flavor . . . there’s supposed to be hops here, right? I mean, kind of hoppy, definitely bitter, but more just harsh than anything else. Bit of pine, I guess. Lots of malts, sure, but they’re kind of flat, kind of sweet, but not much going on. Weird cookie-ish finish to it, gets incredibly dry. Does have a really nice palate, which just makes me say "there should be more going on here than there is." Really a pretty sucky IPA. ross (1503), charlotte, North Carolina, USA Jul 22, 2008 Bottle from Sean. Thanks pole smoke. Sean claims he brown waxed all of my bottles by sticking them in his ass. Does that make him more flamboyant than most people I know? Yes. Anyway, after struggling to get the cork out of this one (sean lodged it too far in), it suddenly popped off filling the air with alot of hops and sweet smells. Taste is smooth, not really bitter, and something like, honey in it. Fruity and sweet, and really good actually. I have drank a few beers from these guys, and most of them are good. This one is exceptional. Very nice stuff! Thanks Saclyn. mrw1zard (48), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Jul 21, 2008 Copperish color with a light colored head. Taste of malt and pine carries throughout the brew. Not too bad, Would rather go for a Bells or Stone in my opinion though - the Double Wide seems to be missing something the more you drink. It becomes rather boring. Ibrew2or3 (1613), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Jul 19, 2008 Courtesy of Gillard. Pours hazy brownish copper with light tan head. The aroma is fairly mild with some malt sweetness and pine hops swimming around in the maltiness. The taste is malty with pine hop bitterness and cherry fruitiness. Midway the pine and some other notes that are tough to pin down carry the experience to the finish. Ends tasty and moderately bitter.
