Dec 30, 2005 Poured a Poured a clear deep amber color with a large sized long lasting off-white head. Hoppy aroma. Nice and fresh, citrus and floral. Some fruity malt and alcohol notes. Acidic flavor with caramel underneath. Big bitterness running thorugh. Medium bodied. I didn’t expect this one to be so good. I need to pick up some more.

Dec 29, 2005 Better than their Pale Ale and yes it was a real ride. Got buzzed by the bottom of the bottle and it’s citris almost tropical fruit reminded me of a green mango... perhaps it was the alcohol but I loved this beer and I would pay the steep asking price again.

Dec 21, 2005 Cloudy orange. Light but lasting foam. Big citrus aroma. Long lasting hop flavour and finish. The malt is just strong enough to let the massive hops float through your mouth. I like this beer better than most appear to. Delicious for hop heads without slapping you in the face. Alcohol? What alcohol.

Dec 11, 2005 Slightly hazy copper, modular head. Aroma of fresh cut grass, slightly harsh green pepper, and cookies. Tastes very dry with nostril-burning soapy hop accents but still has a little malt beefiness (toast). Finishes too dry for my tastes with a bit of a rubber/synthetic tone.

Dec 11, 2005 Been wanting to try it cause of the cool bottle designs, who would have known the beer has character too. Intense floral/citrus hop aroma on the pour. Orange color with a small head. The taste is nive and hoppy with huge grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Maybe a bit too much on the finish, but overall this is a pretty solid beer

Nov 27, 2005 Large billowing light tan head of small dense bubbles. Light carbonation. Intense floral hop aroma wih plenty of grapefruit thrown in there. Light roastyness also. Dark orange in color. Big bitterness in the flavor. More so than in alot of other IIPA’s. Lots of grapefruit rind, pine and more roasted grains. Little bit of sweetness. Noticable alcohol kick and warming. Just something not the same as some other highly rated IIPA’s. The flavor and aroma is not succulent enough. With some of the good ones, just smelling makes your mouth salivate and then when you taste it, a flavor explosion. Just not getting it here. Slick roasty finish. A very good IIPA. Just needs something else to get it over the top.

Nov 26, 2005 Smells great, looks nice, but it has a bit too much bitter grapefruit like taste for me. It’s strong though. Maybe on the 2nd glass I’ll have to edit this.
