stefanje (590), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA Oct 5, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of fordest. Pours a copper color with a small white head. The aroma is caramel and pine. The taste is hoppy, but not particularly biter, filling in the sides are mangoes, apricots and persimmons. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long with lingering pine. Overall: A very drinkable subtle IPA, but not the monster that the name suggests. padrefan98 (643), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Oct 5, 2008 Bottle shared at fordest house. A very nice IPA. More malt detected then hops. But still losts of citrus and some pine. jcwattsrugger (4045), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Sep 30, 2008 12oz bottle-pours a rich light tan head that laces and copper color. Aroma is sweet citrus/pine (cascade) hops, medium malt-caramel, brown sugar. Taste is sweet citrus/pine (cascade) hops with a bite. OK/mild carbonation. Thanks decaturstevo for picking this out. decaturstevo (1271), decatur, Tennessee, USA Sep 30, 2008 Btl opened by jcwattsrugger. An amber/copper pour with tan head and lace. Brown sugar and light hops on the nose. Semi sweet malt with medium hops and the brown sugar thing again. A tad fizzy but solid. Rciesla (813), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Sep 30, 2008 Draft at Hop Devil. Pours a thin amber body with a transient head. Aroma is sweet malt caramel and some grapefruit which comes through initally in the taste. Some etoh creeps into the finish. Decent beer.
