Apr 2, 2007 Thanks to decaturstevo for this bottle. Light amber in color with big tan head. Nose is hops and alcohol. Flavor is hops at first with a little alcohol, but it is mellowed by the balance of hops. Mouth feel is great texture. Leaves just enough hops on the finish to keep you wanting more, too bad its only 12oz.

Mar 30, 2007 My local haunt must have cleaned out the stock room, because this had been long sold out. 2006 bottle pours a nice reddish amber with one finger off white head and sticky lacing. Aroma is earthy hops. Taste is grapefruit and pine hops which are quickly overshadowed by huge sugary malts. Mouthfeel is slightly too cough syrup for me. Very drinkable for ABV. A nice change of pace but one was certainly enough for the night.

Mar 27, 2007 (Bottle ’06) Pours a shade of amber with a beige head. Excellent and potent aroma of hops. Taste is quite hoppy, but remarkably balanced as well. This is actually a DIPA that I could probably drink more than one of, which is usually not the case. Little hint of alcohol, and a dry finish. A very enjoyable beer overall.

Mar 26, 2007 Updated: Apr 1, 20072006 12 oz bottle. Pour was a copper with a decent white head. Nice aroma of floral hops, grapefruit, citrus, caramel, and sweet malt. Flavor is actually very focused on the malt for IIPA. Strong sweet caramel malt and toffee. Hoppy, citrus, and floral flavors.

Mar 26, 2007 Bottle from iowaherkeye. Thanks Joey! Pour is cloudy orange/copper. Thin white head. Aroma of citrus/floral hops is HUGE and sweet with a touch of bread as well. Great flavor of well-balanced hops and malt. Pine, grapefruit, orange and berries accompany that sweet maltiness that hits you with some nutty tones at the end. Finish is bitter, sticky and more citrus. Leaves a lingering tingle on the tongue for a while. A complex and well-balanced imperial IPA, while still maintaining high drinkability. Wish I could have this every day.

Mar 25, 2007 A great tasting beer, yet lacking that gorgeous aroma that should accompany this brew.

Mar 25, 2007 Bottle. Very nice aroma of floral / citrus hops, some alcohol, and grain. Palate is smooth with low carbonation. Bitter / malty flavor is not as good as anticipated. Bitter piney finish.

Mar 25, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orangish gold with a very slight white head. Aroma is hops, orange peel, grapefruit and pine. Taste is VERY bitter with a carbonated bitter pine grapefruit finish. Strong enough to wake the dead... I’d say so! Very nice.
