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.

Oct 14, 2006 Pours amber-red with a one-finger white head. Excellent juicy, citrusy aroma with a good deal of malty sweetness. The flavor is more piney than citrusy, and this particular pine clashes a bit with the underlying maltiness. Even so, this one’s very good.

Oct 13, 2006 Updated: Oct 14, 200622 oz bomber. Contract brewed by Green Flash Brewing, for Reaper Ales, this beer is a classic example of "Double" or Imperial IPA. This beer is 80+ IBU’s, 9.1% abv, and is hopped with bale loads of Cascade, Centennial, and Columbus hops, then dry hopped with Amarillo. A no brainer for hop heads, Sleighor does not dissapoint. This beer pours to a brilliant, deep amber color, with a thick, creamy, white head, and a moderate carbonation. The nose on this beer is fantastic, with lots of big, pungent, zesty, piney/citrus hop aromas that flood the nose. The palate is rich and slick on the tongue, with lots of good caramel/sweet malt flavor, paired with lots of citrus/piney hop flavor. This beer finishes with more good malt and hop flavor up front, then ends with a very zesty, very bitter pine and citrus hop bite that linges with some peppery alcohol. Wow, remindes me a lot of young, fresh, Bigfoot. A very impressive hop cocktail of a brew, this is a great cocktail, and a wonderful beer to sip and savor.
