Commercial Description:
Consider it an extremely hoppy barleywine, or a really big IPA. Either way, ten hop additions contribute to its lush and intriguing body. Aggressive dry-hopping brings a strong citrus character to the aroma. The flavor and smell of orange-blossoms pervade throughout the experience.
Ingredience:Water,Barley(200 pounds per barrel of American-grown malted barley),Hops(10 hop-strikes,totaling 17 ounces per barrel of American-grown hops) and yeast(it is what it is).

I thought this one would be better than it was. Pours an amber color with a small blotchy head. Piney hoppy aroma and blends with some caramel and toffee. Sweet and a bit sticky, which is distracting at times from what is a big hoppy flavor, both pine and some grapefruit, caramel malts, butterscotch, toffee. It is somewhat alcoholic, showing mostly in the finish. Definitely a hybrid of a beer, I had a hard time getting into it. Too sweet and really not any bitterness to speak of to offset that, leaving this overall a little messy.

Clear mahogany with cherry highlights under a lasting off-white head. Caramel, and piney hop aroma. The flavor is sweet with a nice bitter balance. Not bad.

Bottle from Ross. Pours orange amber with a quickly dissipating off white head. Aroma of sugary malts, alcohol, and some piney hops. Medium bodied with a slight oily texture, but slightly thin as well. Aggressive hop bite up front, with a solid toffee caramel malt backdrop. Average residual sweetness. Finishes peppery and hot, but still a little thin. Drinkable, but not mind blowing.

This is a seriously hopped barley wine if you can call it that. I get all pine hops in the aroma and some resiny sticky pine hop flavors. There is a good body and some sweetness that are barley wine ish, but for the most part this is a hop lovers delight. The finish is sticky sweet with some nice caramel malt flavors. Tinge of hot alcohol but nothing to ruin the experience.I enjoyed this guy.

22 oz. pours copper with small head. aroma is floral hops, some malty caramel sweetness, and as it warms some alcohol. mouthful is pure bitter hops with some floral accents. the hops is way over the top assault your pallet kind of way ( and i like that when i am in the mood for it!)... leaves my mouth watering, like it is crying for relief. as it warms the alcohols becomes more apparent. this should be in the DIPA section...

Courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Pours a reddish copper color with thin off-white head. Aroma is sweet, hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, and some soapy, floral notes. Flavor is malty and hoppy with a strong phenol presence and notes of sweet syrup, citrus. Generally medium body with a slightly sweet, slightly bitter finish.

Bottle courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Pours a clear copper witha small white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of floral and citrus hops with sweet malt and a touch of caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.
