Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival 2011. Hazy amber color/ ivory head. Floral, tropical fruit, caramel aromas. medium bodied. Big floral, grapefruit bitter flavors with sharp caramel--big bitter finish.

Draft at the brewery: Poured a caramel hazy color with a bubbly off white head. Aroma is strong hops and fruit. Taste is citrus, big hops, and fruit. Due to some of the limitations, this beer normally gets an extra dry hopping when moved to small kegs due to it losing some of the hops. My sample did not get the extra and its still a nice DIPA.

Wow, this is a big beer. Draft at GABBF. Cloudy variegated golden color. Aroma of light grass and pine. Taste is super bitter but drinkable.

at Haines brewing comapny as part of beer cruise. Great aroma, sweet, fruity, pine. little of a grape scent too. Brownish orange color, small head, minor lace. Bitter sweet flavor. Medium body, smooth creamy mouthfeel, biiter dry sweet finish. Wow, surprise of the trip. Brewer filtered it through some cascade. had to get in line a couple times for this one. delicious.
