Jul 27, 2003 Fragrant aroma, hop oil. Fruity and floral, grapefruit and ozone. Strong. Light orange-amber clear with little head. Light smooth carb in heavy watery body. Silky. Nutty fruity taste. Sweet and oily up front with big sweet bitter finish and after. Big bitter, but not harsh and spicy. A great strong ale.

Feb 13, 2004 Cask... Poured a dark gold color with a decent off white head for a cask and it left nice lacing too. Nice piney, hop aroma. Bitter hop taste, full of resin. Creamy mouthfeel. This was a nice IIPA and my favorite of Friday the Firkenteenth!

Jun 21, 2004 One of the standouts at the HBF. Poured amber, with a huge hop, pine aroma. Tasted very hoppy, with a resin, pine finish. Well balanced and the alcohol was well hidden. Nice super hoppy finish.

Jul 22, 2007 On tap at the brew pub. Pours a translucent copper with lots of golden highlights and a medium bubbly/creamy off white head that left tons of lacing. Aroma was a big handful of the 3 C hops. Loads of citrus with orange being the dominant. Nice caramel malt backbone. Flavor of you guessed it all out west coast hops, pine, grapefruit, orange, great malt balance not overly bitter with a heavy does of crystal malt and lots of fresh hop flavor.
