Aug 23, 2009 Appearance - pours a nice translucent gold with a thick head that disappears quickly. Lacing is there, and heavy.
Smell - not as hop infested as I had expected, maybe not even as much as it’s little brother, the 60 minute. Citrus, sweet smell.
Taste/Mouthfeel - not nearly as scary as I had feared. Quite tasty actually with the hops of course up front. Mouthfeel is medium bodied.
This hides it’s relatively high alcohol content pretty well so I recommend you be careful here.

Aug 23, 2009 chocolate and roasted malt nose, clear dark orange in appearance. Bit too chocolatey for me but it hangs around the palate for a good long time and warms as it goes down.

Aug 23, 2009 Flavorful mix of hops and malt, excellent nose and a beautiful outer shell. 90 minute a local rider.

Aug 21, 2009 beautiful golden amber somewhat hazy colour that belies it’s potency.......aroma is somewhat subdued but there are hints of hops and large volumes of malt.......overall a nicely balanced brew......the brewmasters have done a wonderful job of creating a very creamy mouthfeel with a sweet, nutty, and malty finish.......actually had this while eating fritos ( odd but it works!)

Aug 20, 2009 One of my favorite beers out there. A strong ipa with a pleasant floral aroma with hints of some kind of wood. The taste begins balaced with the same wood/smokey taste and finishes with strong hops and alcohol. There is no substitute!

Aug 18, 2009 ambrata buona schiuma piuttosto persitente note decisamente luppolate intense quasi astringente poi si trova anche malto in buona quantita perche nonostante la luppolatura riesce quasi ad essere bilanciata

Aug 17, 2009 Updated: Oct 4, 2009Golden brown in color with a quickly dissipating head. Prominent citrus hops aroma with a hint of malt. Thick, malty mouthfeel with a subtle but very good fruity hop flavor.

Aug 16, 2009 Poured into a tulip glass. Nice amber color with one finger off white head that disipated quickly. Left no lacing on the glass. Aroma has a nice sweet malt and hop aroma...gives the impression of the balance which is to come in the flavor as well. Taste is very well balanced...plenty of hops, but brought into line by the substantial malt presence. Much different from a west coast style ipa...kind of reminds me of a barley wine with the richness of flavors including some dark fruit along side the more common hops flavors like grapefruit and citrus. A very complex beer. Very tasty...worth all the praise.
