Jul 31, 2006 2006 bomber. Really enjoyed this gem. Pours a slightly hazy copper-orange hue under a dense and tight white head. Intense luscious aromas of crushed fresh pine needles, along with grapefruit and orange rind. Palate is extremely silky smooth with a fine carbonation. Flavor much like the aroma; lots of fresh pine and citrus abound, supported by a nice balance of background caramelly malt sweetness and warming alcohol. Finishes with a long, crisp hoppy bitterness. A lot to enjoy here for an IPA-lover/hop head. Gotta give this one a try!

Jul 27, 2004 Huge wild hop mix, avoids the error of too much malt character, AWESOME, a mix of hop character rolling from tangy citric to bushy and herbal to pine, strong composite flavor with mild support of honeydew melon.

Jul 5, 2003 Initial pour yielded a light amber/golden hue. Thin creamy head and lace. Lovely nose of juicey, piney, citrusy hop resins, caramel like malt, oranges, bit of peach and more. Medium bodied, soft, sweet malts to start with hints of orange and caramel. Big bittering hops provide a nice interplay of flavors. Dry bitter finish with sweetness creeping in. . Resiny aftertaste sticks. Wonderful balance and damn tasty IPA. they nailed it.

Jun 19, 2003 Dark golden color with a small lacing of head around the sides of the glass. Robust hoppiness in the flavor but there's a lot more going on than just the hops. It is a little chewy, and even cake-like. Smooth, yet sharp and bitter finish. A very good IPA that I look forward to having again soon. definetly a hint of sweetness, but not syrupy or too heavy. Just well-rounded.

Jun 19, 2003 This is some great stuff - highly hoppy, but not overly bitter - slightly sweet, bready - looooooong, hoppy finish that leaves the mouth watering.

Apr 19, 2004 Pours with a finger of creamy white head. The Aroma is of sweet malt and piney hops. The flavor is of a rounded but very upfront citrus and hop blend, with a very nice soft but balanced malt backbone. Very creamy/velvety palate. This seems like more of an IPA then an IIPA, even though its seems to be misnamed it is probably one of the best IPA's I have ever had. Right up there with bells two hearted in book.

Mar 10, 2004 This is a very good IPA. Hops all over the place! Aroma is very piney and floral, and more citrusy notes come out in the flavor. Finishes dry and sticky. Good!
