Slightly syrupy but imposing upon the palate. Decent mouthfeel but the brew itself feels rough around the edges and doesn’t seem to come together all that well. I liked it for sure, but it was missing that extra intangible which takes it to the next level. That being said, it is still a pretty good beer, although the the style brings high expectations. I did enjoy my time with it and will probably end up drinking it again. I would like to try the rest in this series.

Jan 4, 2010 Big hoppy nose, pine resin, smells like its going to be sticky. Pours a slight golden blonde with a thin white head. Solid hop flavor, pine resin with an earthy bitterness and some hints of grapefruit peel, held up by a solid malt backbone, still hop forward but still has some body and maltiness.

Jan 3, 2010 Pours deep amber with white head, aroma is full of sweet hops. Taste is sweet citrus and bubblegum like hops with a strong sweet caramel malt profile that bitters fairly well. A bit too sweet for my liking, but a very decent IIPA.

Jan 1, 2010 355 mL bottle. Hazy orange with a small, sticky head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is hoppy, leaning toward citrus, but also has more of a caramel presence than most IPAs. In the flavour, there are citrussy hops from start to finish, but at no point is it "overly" hoppy. Solid malt backbone. Creamy mouthfeel. Not spectacular, but very solid.
