Dough77 (711), Aurora, Illinois, USA Mar 24, 2008 Solid IPA, but under average DIPA. Some descent but not over the top (in a good way over the top) hoppiness. Big malt backbone, but it just doesnt fit as its meant to. MI2CA (1033), Noblesville, Indiana, USA Feb 12, 2008 Sample Hotshots Feb Indy tasting from a BBB63 growler - Aroma is caramel and earthy with strong pine and citrus hops. Pours dark brown with a medium head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is tart. Tasty brew. pantanap (659), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 8, 2008 tap at brewery....poured a muddy golden amber brown with a lingering ivory head.....pine, tropical, and floral hops made up the aroma....flavors had a nice pine hop backbone, a creamy mouthfeel, with a bitter kick yet not bordering on the line of being too bitter. adrian910ss (960), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 30, 2008 22 oz bomber hand bottled by BBB63. Pours a cloudy deep orange caramel with no head. Aroma of bitter citrus, pine resin and floral hoppiness. Taste of bitter orange citrus and grapefruit with notes of malt, pine resin and floral hops. Very good. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 04/28/2006
