Mike4686 (120), Bayonne, New Jersey, USA Jan 28, 2008 22oz label reads bottle conditioned in 2006, pours a pale golden with little head that faded quite fast, wonderful hop aroma and taste, still working on picking out key flavors but its great stuff. crizay (1050), Brook Park (was Tampa,FL), Ohio, USA Dec 23, 2007 Thanks Adrian. Cloudy orange huge white head. Aroma is awesome, lots of citrus, grapefruit, melon, peaches, mango. Flavor is much the same with a good amount of caramel malts. Full bodied with a big maltiness still balanced with lots of hops and carbonation. Dry-hopped goodness for sure with tons of hop flavor. Speedle (262), Mid-Atlantic (Tour 2007-2008), Virginia, USA Dec 20, 2007 as soon as i opened this one on the door jam of my hotel bathroom I knew it was gonna be good....thick looking and golden colored...thick head with tons of sticky lacing....hops a plenty aroma, grapefruit, pine resin bouquet....bitter from the start to finish with a nice sweet citrus balance...after a minute I can finally pick up some malt.....this is a great IIPA...chillin and ass kickin rolled into one helluva beer BEERGUY007 (206), Scotia, New York, USA Dec 10, 2007 Got a bottle from Glenville beverage. Light in color. Light in taste. I would definetly have this one again and recommend it to anyone who likes IPA’s. Smutty nose, if you can find it is a treat. Enjoy! jrob21 (1252), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Dec 7, 2007 This one was direct from Santa. Glad I got a fresh one so I could drink it with my aged ’05 bottle. The ’05 bottle was nice but had turned into a smoother sweeter almost barley wine. All the hops were gone. Fresh the hops were nice and preferred the fresh experience. carl4beer (394), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA Dec 5, 2007 2006 batch. pours a deep golden color with a little haze and small head. aroma is pine and zesty citrus. mouthful is smooth and malty with some big citrus and a bitter finnish. a good big hoppy american DIPA... rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Nov 4, 2007 Sampled in a bottle at The Barley Pub in Dover, NH on 11/3/7. Aroma of slight pine with a dominant amount of citrus hops. Clear orange color with a white head. Good lacing. Thick start no to much bitterness in the finish. Strong palate. pamoja (57), Rochester, New York, USA Nov 2, 2007 Unbelievable pour. It wasn’t as hazy with my first pour. I had a 22 ounce and when I poured what was left ver it was the most unbelievable hazy amber pour I have ever seen. It was almost like an american pale ale. Not as hoppy as an IPA. Very well balance. Comparable to Acme pale ale. Very nice nondiminishing head. One of my favs!!!!!
