Jul 3, 2009 On tap at Falling Rock in Denver. Thin white head caps the transparent gold brew. Sheets and drips of lacing leave a nice history of this great beer.
Strong hops aroma, a sweet start, tart flavors, and a dry finish. Nice balance of carbonation.
Deserving of it’s 4.2 average score!

Jul 2, 2009 Bottled on 021609 consumed 061609. Bought at Cracked kettle.
Pours hazy golden with a yellowish head.
Smells of grapefruit, pineapple and oranges.
Tastes like hard fruit candy, finishes a bit bitter.
Has some unidentifyed "belgian feel" to it, well balanced!

Jul 1, 2009 Strong piney citrus nose, smells sticky!!! Pours a light golden blonde with a thin white head. Big hop flavor, there’s no balance here, way over the top, lots of sticky pine resin and bitter grapefruit peel, great hop flavors.

Jun 30, 2009 Poured cloudy orange with a 2-finger head, aroma was strong hops with pine and grapefruit notes. Flavor was hop dominant with high bitterness, not well balanced with malt. The alcohol is very well hidden. A great beer, but slightly overrated IMO.

Jun 28, 2009 500ml bottle. Bottled on 4/7/09. Served in a shaker pint. Poured a clear pale gold with two fingers of white head. Big piney hop aroma. For some reason I got a little cat piss, but hey I’ve got cats. It went away quickly. It wasn’t as bitter as the nose would suggest. Medium bodied with a decent malt base. Long dry finish with the mouth pucker you would expect from a DIPA. Maybe could have been a bit fresher. Good beer, but I think I expected more.

Jun 27, 2009 Bottle at E bremerton red apple. Ahh. Pours a cloudy orange color. Nose is citrus and floral - could smell it for longer, if I didn’t already know how it tasted, Inital flavor is citrus/grapefruit floral hoppiness. No dynamic shift as the end of the taste is similar to the front - Balanced and full. Favorite beer right now.
