Dec 27, 2007 Pours a light, clear brown, with a small head that disappears quickly. Huge hops aroma. Flavor is one-dimensional...hops only, and finishes dry. Mouth was disappointing as it isn’t as creamy as some other Sierra Nevada beers. I’m not a huge fan of overly hopped beer, so take the rating for what it’s worth.

Dec 27, 2007 2007 Bottle: Orangish brown colored pour with little to no head. Hoppy, spicy orange aroma with a malty citrusy, pine finish.

Dec 26, 2007 Drinking one now, Im not a fan of very hop bitter beers, so I will rate this as fair as I can..Smell was obvious of hops...mainly, bitter hops, with aroma hops, nice floral scent...Pour is a nice amber that is hazy. Taste is sweet maltiness with a bitter end, as expected with a IPA, this would be considered a medium IPA to me. Great head retention, almost rocky off white. Over all, a good beer.

Dec 26, 2007 Bottle. This beer poured with a full, fluffy white head that lasted the entire time it took me to drink it. It also left a thicxk lacing on the glass. Tremendous floral-citrus aroma of hops. Intensely, hoppy and bitter flavor with the malt underlying it all. I thought this was a great beer. I wish I had access to it on a reguilar basis.

Dec 26, 2007 Poured an attractive orange/amber color with a nice white head that lingers for a while. Aroma is a piney hop smell, while the flavor is also a piney, grapefruit flavor. Beer is very smooth and drinkability is high. Lacing was good. This is a good beer that I will definitely have again.

Dec 26, 2007 Clear, bright copper-orange color. Thick, frothy white head, leaves lots of lacing. Aroma is piney hops. Refreshing citrus (grapefruit), pine hop flavor. Very smooth drinking, not bitter at all. Easy to enjoy several. I look forward to this every winter.

Dec 25, 2007 Updated: Feb 16, 2008Nice copper color with a creamy, persistent off-white head. Aroma is piney, with a hint of lemon and spice. Flavor is pretty similar. Goes down very smooth. I could drink this all night - or year round, for that matter.

Dec 25, 2007 Doesn’t really seem like a winter brew, and doesn’t seem like a hop heavy IPA either. Soft carbonation, medium body, goes down smooth. Good beer, nice amount of bitterness.
