Apr 6, 2009 Can at Church Key, North Beach, San Francisco, with Phyllis, 26th Mar 09. Clear dark amber with a cracking nose of peach, orange zest and loads of hops. Rich and malty on the tongue, great balance, smooth palate. Superb for a beer in a can.

Apr 5, 2009 Rich deep brown pour, light brown head. Nice hop and malt aroma with a hint of funk. The flavor starts with a blast of malty sweetness then fades into pine hops; almost like a hoppy scottish. Alcohol is not overpowering. Finish has lasting malt and hops-very nice.

Apr 3, 2009 Can. Nice orange-amber color with a small light head. Hoppy aroma with a little bit of graininess hiding in the background - interesting. Flavor is very well-blended, a pleasing mix of bitter and sweet all the way through. A little alcohol comes through. Pretty smooth, as well. Definitely well-made, though there isn’t anything particularly amazing that I’m finding in this brew. Would make a good everyday beer, though, since it’s pretty easy to toss one back.

Mar 29, 2009 Canned. Dark-orange-amber colored with am off-white head. Piney, floral and dark crystal malt aroma. Light malt sweetness, medium bitterness and piney hops in the flavor. Lightly astringent, alcoholic and a little metallic. Medium bodied. Decent, but I’m not really feeling this as a DIPA at all.

Mar 29, 2009 (can - 12 oz) Ruby red pour with a thick tan head. Aroma is rich and malty with a strong citrus and floral hop background. Flavor begins with a smooth malt and with a light citrus and floral backbone. Flavor disappears almost instantly and only leaves a light bitterness. For as good as it smelled and as good as the flavor began, I was shocked that it disappeared that quickly.

Mar 28, 2009 What a great pour from a can. Bright, intense hop aroma, flavor of citrus and kind of a toffee malt, with other fruity, herby overtones. Nice dry finish. Alcohol seems just right. I can wait to pop a can for my snobbish friends who think good beers only come just in dusty old bottles.

Mar 28, 2009 Poured from can. Awesome aroma of hops (of course), malt, ocean. Dark amber, persistent head. Oh my, the hop/malt flavor is both bitter and sweet at once. Very balanced and very drinkable. Alcohol is noticed in backtaste. This beer makes my mouth very happy.

Mar 28, 2009 Foamy white hea and a dark amber body. Smells a little bit like booze, but also smells like flowers and stuff. Taste is hoppy, but not hopslaughter. It is a little sweet, and as the can says, it is also rather sticky in the mouth. Overall, there are a lot of malts all through this beer. ’Tis a pretty damn good beer on whole.
