Smell is sweet tart hops that are faded and almost has an alcohol bleach like smell. Amber in color - unmoving but has an okay quickly fading head and sticky lasting lacing though. Flavor is a bit sweet and alcohol and not very bold or well balanced for me. Drinkable but just seems a bit old and like it wasn’t a super fresh bottle. Overall, I feel as though this could have been much much more but it wasn’t horribly disappointing.

Pours clearish amber with a lasting whitish head. Smell is overly sweet and faded hops. Not particularly appealing or impressive. Taste is dull hops, stale malt, and light bitterness. Kind of lightly sweet and cheap tasting. Too light on the carbonation as well.
Not very good or enjoyable at all.

Feb 18, 2008 Bottle. Dark coffee pour with an almost non existent head. Very slight sweet taste. Hint of pine throughout tasting. Nice body. Alchohol content was very well hidden, not overpowering.

Feb 9, 2008 A weak and boring IIPA. Aroma was decent. Nice citrus hops with a hint of caramel malt. Pour was a nice deem amber with a 2 finger off white head that stayed the whole drink. Taste was very hoppy and bitter but not full. There was very little taste in the mouth and the bitter hops came out in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel was too thick but the good carbonation kept the palate at a 3. Not impressed but glad I tried it.

Looks like dark coffee with a scarce head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of chocolate malts and smoke. Mellow hop aftertaste follows smooth malty flavor. I tasted this after it was a year old, I think it would have been much better fresh, but still not too bad. Very easy drinker.
