Gabler (86), , New York, USA Feb 25, 2009 2008 24 oz. bottle. Poured clear orange with girthy off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, lightly malt-yeasty, and earthy. Mouthfeel is super-bitter. Mega hops on the tongue, a little piney. The finish is almost not there it’s so quick. Perhaps a bit more full than you’re garden varety IPA but I love the hop-bitterness. Excellent beer. dlovell2 (137), Columbia, Maryland, USA Feb 24, 2009 12th release. Bottle from The Perfect Pour Columbia MD. Amber color with wihte head. Pine Aroma.

Light malt, hops of perfume and herbs, average yeast/bacteria aroma. Full body, sticky texture and an astringent aftertaste. The flavor’s duration is long, being lightly sweet and moderately acidic/bitter. This beer is spicy and a wonderful beverage. jameswolfe (141), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Feb 23, 2009 A great beer, but honestly I was expecting a little more. Not much aroma considering it is an IPA. mcox90 (618), Wilton, USA Feb 22, 2009 24 oz bottle. 12 th edition, Pours a deep copper color with a 1/2" off white head. Gobs of random lace coat my glass.

Well done. finol (475), Nacka (Stockholm), Sweden Feb 22, 2009 710 ml Bottle.
