Draft->snifter. Pours amber with minimal offwhite head. Sweet honey, citrus hops. Bitter and chewy, full body. Like a poor man’s Hopslam.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 greenhorn1 (664) - Mission Viejo, California, USA - MAY 4, 2013
Bottle. Pours a rich amber with a small head. Big aroma of citrus hops and malt. Flavor was a bit disappointing, almost to rich and focus was more on malts. I was hoping for more of a hop bite, so it was a but unbalanced for me. ABV was undetectable.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 DoublEE (509) - South Euclid, Ohio, USA - APR 9, 2013
It felt like something was missing from this one. Didn’t get the expected strong hop bitterness, but was decent. It also didn’t come across as having 10% ABV, but that isn’t a bad thing.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 b33r (524) - Cleveland, Alabama, USA - APR 5, 2013
Dark amber color with a minimal off-white ring of a head and thick oily lacing. Aroma is not what I was expecting- sweet molasses, fruity vinous notes, and caramel. Flavor has deep malts and a sneaky bitter bite at the end. Just a hint of sweetness. This beer was such a surprise, don’t think I’ve had anything like it before
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 EthanFixell (5) - New York, New York, USA - APR 5, 2013 does not count
Deep amber, with orange tint. Smells of complex citrus profile, hops. Tastes like no other IPA -- rich and almost chocolatey. Delicious, but a bit too sweet and heavy to drink easily.
