Mar 26, 2009 12 oz. can courtesy of lamas. Poured hazy, light amber with a few small splotches of lace. Nose is bready and sweet with a subtle floral bouquet. Oily and medium bodied. Sweet, resiny, citrus flavor. Smooth and hoppy, this one is very easy drinking. Alcohol is very well hidden. Nowhere near as big as other DIPAs out there. Met one of the OB brewers in a Phish lot, he said this is more accurately classifed as an imperial red. Very nice.

Mar 24, 2009 Sampled in Lexington, Va. A big punch out of a small tin can. As a very nicy hoppy flavor that is not too over powering, but quality. Alcohol percentage is very strong but still a pretty easy drinking brew.

Mar 19, 2009 12oz can. Pours a deep copper red color and see-through body with a big, two finger-width, soapy foamy, off-white head that takes forever to dissipate and leaves a lot of lacing. Lots to this aroma, just not as BIG as most DIPA’s. Lots of caramels and mild citrus hops. Lots of different kinds of fruits including grapefruits, sweet clementines, peaches, and melons. Some wood character to it and pine needles. Flavor is very round and sweet. Sweet bready and caramel malts give this a very full body while the mild, but piney citrus hops balance this out nicely. Some of the melon creeps in there along with the citrus. Finishes malty, slightly piney and woody, with lots of mild hop linger. Overall, lots of hop taste, but not the explosion like most DIPA’s. I like that about this. Its very flavorful, but subdued. I also love the fantastic soft body. Really nice stuff right here.
