Aug 7, 2007 Picked up a single 22-oz bottle from Woodstock Wine & Deli in Portland, Oregon. Pours a cloudy orangish-amber brew with a fast dissolving beige head that leaves behind a spotty lacing and ring. Aroma of lemon/citrus zest, caramel malt, some light pine, and some dried apricots. Taste is medium bodied, average carbonation, mild bitter with flavors of citrus peel, light caramel malt and a touch of dark chocolate. Finish is dry lingering bitterness with a warm alcohol zap after the finish.

Aug 6, 2007 A cloudy brown appearance. Not very complex, hop aroma and hop flavor, with a lightly sweet malt base. Fairly smooth and easy to drink, I thought the abv was higher.

Aug 3, 2007 Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Pours a nice light murkytofffe like. amber. Nice floral and citrus to the nose with a hint of toffee. Kinda light and waxy with the hops, but a nice finish with great floral and grapefruit.

Jul 11, 2007 This is my favorite holiday brew I can remember. Keep the hops commin’ and a bit bitter, like any good IPA should be.

Jul 6, 2007 A great holiday beer with a massive amount of hops. This is like a winter beer mixed with a great double IPA. A dark heavy body with a full tan like head and a hop aroma that has the essence of cascade, crystal, and centennial hops. A great choice for the season.

Jun 12, 2007 From a 22 ounce bottle, this poured a hazy copper color with an nice long lasting cream head that was very attractive and left good lacing. Nose of citrus hops with grapefruit dominating and a malt undertone underneath. Mouthfeel is slightly oily. Flavors are hops and malts, with some spices showing, and the malts are well balanced with the hops Finish is long and bitter and what you would expect from a quality IPA, which this is for sure.

Apr 24, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of sweet malt and citrus hops. Palate is nice, but a little watery. Flavor is also a little weak up front, but has nice pine and citrus hop flavor to follow.
