3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled (thanks kenb!). Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is flowery and fruity hops. Flavour is grassy, fruity and slightly caramelly malty. A really pleasant Double IPA, which hides the alcohol really well (if it really is 9.2%!)
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled. Clear golden, small head. Aroma of lychee and grapefruit with a whiff of smoke. Medium bodied and very hop aromtic. Completely domianted by the hops. These are supported by rounded maltiness offering some vanilla to the ho salad. The finish is bitter, but not to the levels you’d expect after the aroma. Compex? No. Tasty? H*ll yes!"

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2006 Draught at Flying Saucer, San Antonio, 2006-12-23, 8-5-8-5-17=43
Hazy amber color, creamy head, nice lace. Very nice aroma of hops, with resins and fruits. Good malt taste, full mouthfeel, with very good resiny hops, and long final.
Bottle, 2006-09-08, 8-5-8-5-17=43
Copper color; generous head, thick. Mellow aroma, malt and fruity hops; medium strength, elegant. Good body structure, good malt, good aromatic bitterness; pine needles; grapefruit fruitness. The final is long and quite strong, with sweet caramel and hop, some resins. Humble IIPA, fresh; interesting end enjoyable for being so balanced between the sweetness and the bitterness.

2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Hazy golden-amber colour. Fruity, earthy aroma with lots of fuggles. Fairly big hop flavour, albeit without a massive corresponding bitterness, with the earthiness of fuggles and foresty PNW varietals.
