Aug 11, 2008 Sampled at Volo during Cask Days 2006. Notes entered in 2008 . . . go figure! Anyway, pours a cloudy dark-orange amber w/ frothy ring of foam. Big, juicy grapefruit aroma w/ notes of tobacco & pine. Thick, sticky feel. Very big, very bitter, earthy flavour w/ solid backbone of caramel & toffee.

Nov 15, 2006 Cask Days ’06. Nose is lemon, catty, piney cedar. Very bitter w. lots of pine, orange rind. Not quite enough sweetness for me.

Oct 30, 2006 Cask, at Volo Cask Days 2006. Dark orange, a few bubbles on the surface. Huge hops and alcohol in pleasing aroma. Wow, all hops (Chinook I taker it?) in taste - mouth puckering. Alcohol hidden extremely well. Wonderful natural carbonation. Not for the whiny "it is too bitter" patrons and journalists, but for me, it was a great balanced yet over the top cask IPA. Thanks for the beer geek treat Perry!!

Oct 29, 2006 Cask. Foggy brown copper with a bubbly white head. Fruity aroma - resinous orange oil, bread, toffee/caramel, etc. Warm, very sticky and resinous, bitter orange grapefruit. Super bitter with some subtle toasted malts lingering in the distant background. Nice.
