May 15, 2008 Bottle at dark lord day. One of my least favorite releases from MS. Pours and amber body with white head. Aroma is floral hoppiness, sugar, and pine. Flavor is very hoppy with some light fruit.

May 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy of TomDecapolis, thanks! Pour a clear copper color with a very thin head. Amazing aroma of fruity (pineapple, mango, papaya) and piney hops accompanied by malt. Superb flavor of fruity (again, pineapple, mango and papaya) and piney hops with a decent malt backbone and a dry, bitter finish. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and moderate carbonation. This is an awesome IIPA, the tropical fruits provided by the hops remind me of Dreadnaught, I love Midnight Sun!

Apr 12, 2008 NIce reddish orange with active head. Sweet hoppy aroma, sweet initial taste, lingering bitter finish. Drank it with a little bit of a cold, so I may have to re-rate.

Apr 5, 2008 I have never been a big fan of this beer or its summer sister in Sockeye Red. I just thought that they were merely okay. The ingreidents added to this to make it "winter like" just don’t really seem to mesh and it comes across as overly hopped and slightly unbalanced due to all those extras. Somtimes this brewery tends to go a little overboard. Sometimes it’s better to just keep it simple.
