Nov 1, 2007 ABR 2007. A little rye peaks out from the sweet hop nose. Mostly hops in the sweet body. Average finish.

Nov 1, 2007 Updated: Nov 19, 2007Draft at the Blind Tiger. Reddish / light brown color with a creamy head. The aroma was of sweet caramel malt and citrus hops. The malt flavor is very good in this one, and it reminds me of the malt in a dogfish beer. Nice amount of bitterness.

Oct 30, 2007 Have not been impressed with this brewery but this was damn good. Reddish copper body was topped with an ample creamy off-white head. The nose is assaulted by the grapefruit and pine hops with some caramel malt trying to be noticed. Surprisingly, that caramel sweetness is more evident in the flavor, even with the intense hop bitterness. Very nice drink from a brewery with more chutzpah and humor than quality. And I like the nod to Lenny Bruce. Being a child of the Sixties, I recall his cutting edge and biting humor and social commentary. This beer celebrates that nicely.

Oct 28, 2007 Aroma is sweet and citrus. Amber body with a tan head. Flavor is really sweet for an IIPA but finishes nice and bitter. Palate was surprisingly thin and light bodied. Very light for a double. Had at end of tasting so should try again.

Oct 27, 2007 Bottle. Great looking brew. Pours hazy amber with a good tan head. Nose of citrus, flowers and caramel malt. Taste is citrus and caramel, sweet. Bitterness lingers for a while, good amount, but not overwhelming. Much more malt than I would’ve thought.

Amber colour, slightly hazy. Chewy, earthy, with lots of grapefruit and crystal malt. Extra chewy on the palate, resiny, crystal malt and more grapefruit. Balanced but for the lack of rye. Good brew, but not great.

Oct 26, 2007 Pours a deep amber color. Very flowery and citrucy aroma, not much head. Very hoppy. Would be a great beer except for the aftertaste, which reminds me of old socks and wet dog.

Oct 25, 2007 The beer releases from the 22 ounce bottle reddish amber with a large creamy of white head that slowly fades leaving the lace a firm sheet upon the glass. Nose is rich in sweet malt, the big hop flowery aroma under pins the malt, citrus like in its crispness, fusel alcohol quite noticeable, grassy, start has a pleasant malt presence, alcohol and hops pound the palate, top is medium to full. Finish has a stern acidity; the hops potent, alcohol blast the taste buds. Aftertaste dry, most certainly a belly warmer, I think a little aging would help this beer, but for those who like “Big Hops” and “Big ABV”, this is your beer.
