Jul 21, 2008 6 pack bottles, found in Anchorage, July 9. This beer is super hoppy with citrus flavors and I found it very enjoyable. My better half only got 1.5 beers out of the entire 6 pack. If I could get this where we live I would buy it regularly.

Jul 20, 2008 Very nice IPA. Aroma was good with an abundance of citrus nhops and a light hint of caramel malt. Pour was a nice deep dark amber/light brown with a 1 finger near tan head. Taste was nice and mouth puckering bitter. Strong caramel malt in the front that leaves quickly. The hops fill the cheeks and throat with bitter citrus and pine. Decent carbonation. Thanks Secret Santa!

Jul 19, 2008 Pours a slightly cloudy amber color. It needed a bit of help to develop a head. Has a very fragrant citrus aroma, with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor is initially dominated by citus and walnut, but this is followed by a strong, bitter, stale hop flavor that almost ruins the beer for me. The bitternes is more than made up for by a pleasant, creamy mouthfeel. Nice and silky. Overall, this is very drinkable and enjoyable.

Jul 13, 2008 A good IPA. Doesn’t quite have the full flavor of Big Sky or Avery though. Very satisfying and better than most IPA’s.
doubleo (670), San Diego, California, USA
Jul 13, 2008 On-tap at Churchill’s. Pours copper/amber color with a good sized offwhite head, some lace. Smells subdued, caramelly, earthy hoppy, a bit grassy. Tastes hoppy and malty sweet caramelly, bitterness hits toward the finish, slight grass flavor. FLavors and bitterness linger better than I remember. Medium body, good carbonation.
