Oct 11, 2005 Bright golden; nice head. Very rich, smooth and velvety texture. Alcohol is hidden fairly well, but it’s definitely warming. Bold malt flavors and intense hops. Lofty aromas of honey, flowers and nectar. Healthy bitterness. Ballsy, tasty double IPA.

Sep 19, 2005 Sampled at the Ohio Labor Day gathering, provided (I believe) by BBB63. Hazy amber body, medium cream/buff clumping head. Bready, light piney aroma with some fruit rind but balanced nicely by malts. Sweet, sugary grapefruit body with rind flavors and pine, bread, and toast, and flashes of alcohol. Full and creamy. A very good IPA that didn’t really scream "I2PA" to me, but I wasn’t aware of the high ABV when I sampled this!

Aug 30, 2005 I had this the same night I tried the Moylan’s IPA. Thank God I had that one first. Bronze pour with a huge head. Full of hops in the aroma with a good mix of pine and grapefruit. Powerful hops in the taste, mixed with a sweet malt back. Hoppy kind of bitterseet finish. Nice.

Aug 24, 2005 Bottle: Mahogany color, light head, light lacing. Nose of musky hops and malt sweetness, fairly basic and balanced. The flavor is spicy and winter warmerish. Finish is nice and balanced as well. Good!

Aug 24, 2005 Woody gold brown. A more mature tasting beer than the Papago Hop Father that this went back-to-back with. Rich, caramel,diacetyl and fruit. Satisfying palate. Better than the last Reaper beer that I had by a long shot.

Aug 12, 2005 (thanks to DarkElf for the bottle!!) Copper coloer with an off white head. Nice lacing, too. Aromas are of cookies, carmel, and pine trees. Chewy, malty body with a sweet bread character and some earthiness. Dry, piney finish. Thanks Stephen!!

Aug 6, 2005 I’ve seen this brewery’s beers around Atlanta and never bought them because the labels look pretty stupid and gimmicky. This beer surprised me though. Nice malty backbone. Sweet, but not too sweet. The hops are fresh tasting and up front and aggressive, but a little on the harsh side, but not so harsh as to push it into the undrinkable area.

Aug 2, 2005 RBSG 05. Nice hoppy aroma, citrus some pine and very resiny. Lots of malt background in this beer. Finishes a bit warming but very nice. I really liked this one!
