May 11, 2008 After popping the top I could smell the floral notes flowing out of the bottle. I love this IPA. Full of hops, fresh hops, with their characteristic spiciness and floral notes. This is a hop bomb for the hop lover. It’s a little bland on the aftertaste - but that’s ok. Pours hazy golden with thin white head.

May 2, 2008 Thanks to the ever dapper magicbill for the pours - It poured a hazy golden orange with a bubbling off-white head. The aroma was intense with sharp grapefruit, lemon zest, a bit of pine... and had a suggestion that sweet caramel lay underneath it all. Very nicely unbalanced flavor to this hop-head, almost tasting like a DIPA. The finish was a prolonged citric bitterness with a few shakes of pepper. <font size=-4> Dark Lord Day 2008 at Three Floyds, Munster, IN, 4/26/2008.<font size=-1>

Apr 26, 2008 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of fordest. Pours a hazy golden with an off-white head. Fat, intense aroma of citrus and peach. Medium-bodied with very fresh and fruity accents. The finish is dry and bitter. An exemplary IPA. 190408

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle sampled with Mad_Indian. Pours hazy orange with a good size off-white head. Aroma of citrusy hops, spices, and caramel. the flavor is caramel, citrus, with a bitter pine finish.

Apr 24, 2008 Pours a nice gold in color with a nice half inch head sitting atop. Smell is grapefruit, citrusy hops. And I like it. Taste is more balanced, but there’s a very nice citrusy finish. Strikes me as a subdued, Hopslam’s little brother due to the amount of juiciness that’s coming through. Good beer that’s too easy to drink.
