Tasty looking amber pour with a creamy tan head that lasts and laces nicely. Aroma of caramel malt, pine sap and grapefruit rind. Big hoppy flavor, lots of citrus and pine, and a smooth malt balance. Thick and sticky on the palate, with a long bitter finish. Yummy!

3.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Slipstream (1555) - USA - AUG 26, 2008
Rich, brassy pour with a full foam cap and lacing. This beer has a powerfully appealing aroma of fir trees, flowers, honey, and orange - but that is the best thing about it. The flavor is mostly resiny hops that get a little harsh in the finish. This is a rugged IPA that is potent and penetrating. In my opinion, it could use a little more balance, some more sweetness and smoothing - but it is still good.

12 oz bottle fro premier gourmet. pours clear orange with a small off white head. aromas are big sticky caramel malts. very deep and sweet with almost no hops. the same huge malts dominate the flavour. the hops come in for a long bitter finish. chewy mouthfeel and very big flavour. more of an american barleywine. id love to try a superfresh sample.

Poured clear orange with a two finger head and very good lacing. Strong citrus hops aromas that featured grape and grapefruit as well as some pine. Taste followed suit, with a bit of orange and caramel thrown in. Well carbonated, thick and full bodied, with a strong grapefruit aftertaste that didn’t thrill me. Otherwise, an excellent beer.

From a 22 oz bottle. Orange-brown pour with a one inch cream-colored head. Strong citrus aroma. Thick, slightly sweet body with a bitter, acidic aftertaste. A Decent effort.
