Nov 21, 2006 Clear copper topped by a frothy light tan head. The aroma is loaded with pine. The flavor too is massive pine hops, some sweetness that helps things along quite nicely. The palate is crisp if not a bit too prickly. Good stuff.

Nov 12, 2006 Bottle. Hazy orange amber with a sheet of off white foam on the surface. The nose is big hops - citrus (grapefruit juice and orange peel), some pine and pineapple. There’s also a weird spice in the aroma as well. Taste is big hops as well. Lots of citrus peels, grapefruit juice concentrate, some lighter evergreen notes, maybe pine sap, and light spiciness. Only light malt and caramel in this. Not as balanced as I’d hope, but it’s still tasty. Body is oily and thick with light carbonation and a bit of stickiness. Finishes with, you guessed it, more hops. Lots of citrus (again, orange peel and grapefruit juice mainly), some pine, light caramel and hints of pineapple. Good, but could be more balanced.

Nov 5, 2006 22 oz’er split with my wife. Dark rusty orange with a respectable head. Brutally greasy hopped aroma ... holy hops (as Robin would say to Batman). Deeply salty, dry and earthy hopped, this is big, chewy, grassy hoppy brew. Big beer for big boys like me.

Nov 3, 2006 On Tap @ the Liar’s Club. Clear copper color with creamy off white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma. Piney hop flavor backed by just noticeable malt sweetness. Really good tasting IIPA.

Oct 19, 2006 Hazy Amber color with full off white head. Strong hoppy taste and aroma with a bitter after taste. An oustanding double IPA.

Oct 17, 2006 Deep amber brew. Off-white head. This is the strongest hops aroma I have ever had the pleasure of expericening. So fresh, grassy, citrus, grapefruit. Wow, strong bitter citrus, grapefruit, no sweet sugar here. My god I think I have a new favorite IPA. Almost a weedy aftertaste. Hops presence is extremely strong throughout.

Oct 15, 2006 Bottle from Dark Elf. Pours brown with a tan head. Smells of grass, sugar, citrus and malt. Tastes sweet with a nice amount of hoppiness. Palate is on the watery side, but otherwise this is a great IIPA.

Oct 14, 2006 Excellent! Very fresh tasting and a buttload of citrus hops flavors abound. Finishes nice and clean. I wish they had this year round.
