Bottle. Poured amber in the glass with nice looking, frothy off-white head that left big lacing. A great pine and grapefruit aroma backed with caramel malts. The flavor had a well defined caramel maltness backed with lots of hops. Mild bitterness throughout. Medium body. (Rating from June ’07)

Jul 15, 2008 Found this on sale. Amber pour over carbonated. Lots of floaters as well as suspended protein. Faded hop aroma, more on the piney side. Flavor is a little too sweet I have a feeling this was alot better fresh.

Jun 12, 2008 Bottle. Wow this bottle looks extreme. for $1.99 on close out bought a few bombers who wouldn’t. Pours an amber copper body with an light foamy head. Aroma is hoppy; pine, citrus, grapefruit and some etoh. Which is masked quite well in the flavor of this beer. Hops come through strong. Bang for your buck but nothing to special.

Apr 28, 2008 22oz bomber, no date from the Mystery Swap 3.0. Clear orange with a short lived yellowish light beige head, faded to a tattered film and ring. I don’t think this is the freshest bottle, but the aroma is dominated by resiny pine and a plenty of caramel malts. Some citrus and powdered sugar are also in the background. Flavor is mainly earthy caramel malts and plenty of resiny bitterness, which peaked at a 6 in the dry finish. Burps pine resin. Low carbonation with a full syrupy body. Not a huge fan of this one.

Apr 24, 2008 Exactly what i was looking for an imp IPA. Pours a hazey copper colour, with a fairly large off white head. Texture is pleasent, clean and refreshing. floral hoppy aroma initially upon opening the bottle. grapefruit, lemon, ripe hops and earth are noticeable. Ripe citrus fruit in the finish.
