| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 17, 2005 Sampled on draught @ Kuhnhenn Brewing Company in Warren, Michigan. Amber color. Fantastic hop aromatics, piney and resiny with ruby red grapefruit, along with the malt, which smells sugary and sweet, caramel and honey laden. Big, bodacious, sugary caramel and toffee malt coating with a truly enjoyable onslaught of hop flavors. More piney and sprucey flavors than anything else, like taking a bite out of a jungle in Honduras. A wonderful IPA. Oh If I lived by Kuhnhenn this would surely be my growler of choice.

Fresh hop, floral aroma that is slightly off (7). Dark orange in color, thick, with some floaties. Not a very nice head. Large bubble, frothy (cask-like) (4). Very nice flavor; for a cask it is very flavorful. A little tart with good hoppy mouthfeel (8). Palate (5). Overall (16). Ratings are very similar to my original, bottle version rating. 6/6/2005: Wow! I could smell the floral hoppiness of this brew before I even put my nose up to the glass. Some pine. Lovely. Murky amber in color; avg. sized off-white head. Mostly dimishing. Excellent lace. Initial mouthfeel is excellent. Piney spruce. Well balanced with sweetness. A really nice IPA. Eric Kuhnhenn clearly knows what he is doing. Gets a little thinner when it warms, but still very good. tomaroth (31), Troy, Michigan, USA

I like my hops to come out and smack me in the face. This one was a little softer than most. Overall a nice IPA 11026 (1772), Alabama, USA
