ThaBobfather (178), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Feb 27, 2009 Classic Sierra Nevada hop smell on top. Looks beautiful as an IPA. Great complex flavor. Not overwhelming hops. Stays on my tounge for a long time. It’s nice. BillWyce (90), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 22, 2009 2008 bottling. Poured a hazy orange-amber with a tan head. Floral, citrusy hop aroma. Slightly thick on the palate, with a slight astringency on the tongue.
Flavor was mostly of hops, with some lingering spice notes. Good overall. finol (475), Nacka (Stockholm), Sweden Feb 22, 2009 Bottle.
This is what you expect from an american IPA but nothing more. Not very visionary brew for the holidays... hirigalzkar (550), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 22, 2009 Bottle. Redorange with white head. Smells grapefruit hoppy. Bitter hoppy taste with some citrus flavors. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Feb 21, 2009 Dark amber in color with a decent off-white head. Aroma is of caramel, hops, and lots of spices. Taste is of hops and malt. jbuzz (658), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Feb 19, 2009 good hop and spice combo. Very easy to drink. Carmel and hop. full flavor and feel trayns (237), Beverly Hills, Michigan, USA Feb 18, 2009 On tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor. Pours a deep golden amber color.

Pours hazy orange to brown with a dense, creamy and slowly collapsing off-white head. Sweet caramel and pinewood hoppy to grapefruity hops aroma. Sweet, dense caramel flavoured base with a distinct grapefruity hops note swept through. Mild pinewood hops note. Medium dry and slight wooden to solid bitter dry finish. Good body and nice balance.
