Aug 8, 2009 Intriguingly red and glowing in the glass. Just a swirl of head on the surface of the beer. Aromatic hops are fairly gentle, but this smells like a big beer. Indeed, the full punch of hops arrives at the end of the palate: grapefruit, orange, candied lemon peel, sharp grasses and lavender. The finish is long, long, long. On the nose and up front are some fine cinnamon and cocoa malts which lend a lot of balance to the IPA.

Aug 6, 2009 Insane hop flavors, tastes like they just added it, alcohol is totally overpowered, and balances really nicely to a bitter finish on the palate. Excellent!

Aug 6, 2009 Clear dark amber, little head. Aroma of strong hops and alcohol, packing a punch. Flavor is very strong. Almost too strong. Packing a ton of hops in there.

Aug 5, 2009 BOTTLE: reddish/gold pour, ridiculously hoppy but well balanced. Pine. Creamy & smooth - interesting from an IPA. Great hop flavor.

Aug 3, 2009 bottle, thankst to alexsdad06, Tmoney99, or shigadeyo. Pours a cloudy amber with a thin white head that quickly dissipated. Aroma is heavy with piney hops and sweet malts. Notes of citrus hops, caramel, floral hops, and pineapple jump out. On the palate it is complex and bitter, but still smooth. The flavor brings out the sweet malts a bit more, but the finish has a stong hoppy bite. Wow, what a great beer!
