Jan 25, 2007 22oz. bottle thanks to Illinismitty. Clear golden pour with a nice white head. Nice grapefruit and honey aroma. Citrus hops upfront with a solid malt balance and and a bitter, piney dry hop finish. Good medium body, soft carbonation, and a dry finish.

Jan 21, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy, golden-yellowish amber with a small white head. Great floral and citrus aroma. The flavor is similar to the aroma but some sweet maltiness comes on as the beer warms. Definitely on the bitter side, but that’s how I like my IIPAs. The alcohol is very well hidden as well.

Jan 20, 2007 NorCal tasting Jan 07 - This is an IIPA? Nose is caramel, some grapefruity hops. Nothing on overload, though it would be a good IPA. Appearance is copper in color, off-white head. Flavors were really malty sweet, caramel combined with some grapefruity hops. This was good. Not sure if it was IIPA good, but still good nonetheless. Perhaps this was an older bottle?

Jan 14, 2007 Bomber. Slightly hazy orange/amber color, with a nice head. Good amounts of citrus for an IPA, not overpowering, but decent. Good hop flavor, but again, not overpowering. Compared to some DIPAs, it was a little lighter, but still heavy.

Jan 13, 2007 Bomber. Pours a lightly hazy amber with a medium head. Fizzy. Very good lacing. Smells like pine, citrus with a rich caramel sweetness mixed in. Brown sugar was in the taste. Medium to heavy body. Syrupy mouthfeel. Balanced taste with a pleasantly bitter finish.

Jan 4, 2007 Pours a small quarter inch, white, creamu, head. Aroma was a bit weaker than I would have expected considering it has 120 IBUs. There is a heacy hop aroma withlots of pine, spruce, and resin. Not much citrus, though. Seemed pretty heavy for a DIPA. Can really taste the alcohol.

Jan 2, 2007 First rate of the year and I have a feeling 2007 is going to be a good one. The Big A IPA is a cloudy, sediment-laden golden to amber color with a small head with lingering white lacing. Great floral aroma coming in a deep draught of the nose. Slightly syrupy in the taste with a lot of bitter. Slight piney aftertaste. Overall excellent.
