Apr 25, 2007 Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong grassy notes, but also a light spicy note. The flavor is sweet matly with strong notes of hops, amongst other giving it notes of grapefruit, leading to a dry and very bitter end. Nice.

Apr 27, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Slightly hazy, amber golden with an off-white head. Fresh aroma with lots of fruit - peach in particular. Quite full-bodied with a solid, sweetish malt base, again these fruity peach accents and then a raw, bitter finish. I would’ve loved some more subtlety in the hopping. 250407

Mar 10, 2005 Golden-amber colour. Minimal aroma, but a little pineyness. The flavour is woody, the body chewy. For the style, it’s a on the lighter side, which I prefer, but flavour development suffers as well.

Jan 7, 2005 Shared at the 12/18/04 Wisconsin gathering: Pours a clear copper with a thin white lacy head. Aroma is sweet and toffee-like with some subtle western US hop presence. Nice caramel sweet body has a mild (at least for an IIPA) hoppy balance. This is practically a regular IPA by today’s standards. Thanks to DavidP for sharing!
