Pours a deep cloudy medium dark bodied amber with a slight off white head that just doesn’t seem to go down easy. Somewhat strong aromas of citrus/pine hop combo with some caramel coming through and other hard to place malts. Flavors come though with a strong punch of the citrus/fruity/pine hops, then has a decent malt backing of caramel and slight plum. Sweet, bitter, slightly rich, and semi dry. A tasty IIPA at best.

Jan 5, 2010 Aroma of some ripe citrus, candied malts and spruce. Appearance is translucent golden brown with tan creamy head. Flavor matches the nose, with an emphasis on the candied elements of this beer up front. The finish is spruce and floral-like, with some alcohol present. Palate is nice and bubbly. A decent DIPA.

Dec 29, 2009 Pours an amber orange. Off white head. Light lacing.
Aroma light hops some citrus.
Malt with some hops rather balanced.
Many have called this the Pliny homebrew...
mmm I’m not sure about that. Maybe my hopes were too high....
I’ve had this several times and it’s OK, and probably much better than that.
but definitely maltier than Pliny.
Cheaper tho.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle: Pale orange, a little dirty and muddy, moderate white frothy head, itty bits of lacing. Strong citrus nose, hoppy, hints of alcohol. Lots of heat on first sip, hoppy, biting citrus peel, with a thick
mouthfeel. Decent malt base, but this one certainly needs some time. A little astringent on the finish. Certainly biting, and alcohol rich. Wow, yeah, 9% on this bad boy. Decent beer, but I bet this one
would stand to be better with some age on it.

Dec 15, 2009 Red amber color with a good sized, pillowy head. Fruity, spicy slightly musky aroma. Flavor is a load of citrus and spicy hops with the malt peeking through in the background. The malt comes through a bit more as it warms but it’s the hops that really make their presence known through to the finish.

Dec 13, 2009 This is a really well balanced IPA. It is almost as if west coast meets east coast. Good almost spicy hop presence that doesn’t overwhelm the malt flavor.

Dec 8, 2009 Pours light amber with an off white head. Aroma is bit citrusy spicy, body odor like centennial hop aroma. Flavor is also huge citrusy spicy hops, with lots of centennial coming through. Not bad.

Dec 7, 2009 Overall a pretty enjoyable beer!
Didn’t get a lot of aroma...but I have a cold...so I bet it was there and I just can’t say.
Looks good, Nice amber color, not hazy. Tastes great, I’m a fan of hops, and this does not disapoint.

Dec 5, 2009 Pours deep deep orange/amber with a nice citrus hop and malt aroma. Very bitter upfront and lasts. Thick malty backbone with a cloying malt or hop juice. Lots of simcoe or similar hops?
