Shared with jerc, mds and tupalev - my bottle via trade with DocLock. Hazy amber, decent creamy off-white head. Dusty sweet malt and floral hops, dry, light. A bit of alcohol and sharp hop bitterness in the flavour, citrus pith, less malt character - average body, slightly astingent, alcoholic and sharply carbonated - pretty decent; Imperial ESB? Well, it’s bitter, I guess. beerguy101 (3972), Newark, California, USA

Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is sweet, grapefruity and piney. Medium bodied Ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity. Lots of spiciness. A little estery and very smooth. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet. Thanks to the Atlanta crew for sharing this one. jerc (3966), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The aroma contained malt hop mild brown malt notes. The crisp mouth feel was strongly tingly from the hops. The flavor contained strong hops under a malt backing. joss (3701), Garching b.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 20, 2005 Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, some vanilla, and light citrus hops. Malty, light nuts, citrus fruits, and a bitter, hoppy, undertone. Not quite as good as last years. Dickinsonbeer (3606), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 22, 2006 Nice! This was one of my favorites at this Newtown Brewfest this year. This is a really nice hopped up DIPA. Pours a clear deep amber with a thin lasting off white head. Aroma is sticky sweet with tons of citrus and mango hops and slightly floral. Full flavor with lots of sweet caramel malts, sticky hop resins, citrus, slight tropical fruits, and some pine. Good body and a nice bitter finish. I think I had at least 2-3 samples of this at the fest.
