750 bomber, corked and caged, pours a hazy apricot body with a medium beige head that laces well. Some "floaties" noted in the body. Malts dominate the aroma with huge waves of toffee, caramel, and orange marmalade. Body is almost full with a cloying syrupiness. Assertive hops bitterness in the taste is mostly citrus but has some pine sap notes. Malty toffee and orange marmalade are prominent. Just a bit too sweet.

Jul 13, 2008 Pours hazy orange with off white head. Aromas of grapefruit and alcohol. Not very hoppy for a DIPA, but I just realzed the bottle is dated 2006 (it just arrived in my local bottle shop so I wonder where it has been??). The hops and malts are nicely balanced. Medium body with average carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel and an alcoholic finish. I would like to try a fresh bottle, but at $12 a pop I think it will be quite a while.

Jun 23, 2008 Pours a hazy copper with very little head. The aroma is all citrusey with not much grassy or dank notes. The flavor, however, carries a certain grassy floral character, along with a lightly sweet body and ends on a nice dry note.

May 25, 2008 Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet grassy, citrusy, and hoppy on an OK malt back ground, leading to a dry bitter finish.

May 12, 2008 Dark copper/amber, huge white head. Aroma is huge malt and little hop presence whatsoever. Plenty of caramel an dresiduel sugar. Flavor on par, slight oxidation. Sort of a lite BW. Apparently this had a little time on it already.
