swoopjones (1107), Buffalo, New York, USA Aug 22, 2008 bottle. Trade with tytoanderso. Pours a robust deep dark orange . Nice floral citrusy hop aroma. Taste is weel balanced with the malts but the hops make theier presence felt. Nice drinking not too harsh & well done uhclem (120), Loveland, Colorado, USA Aug 16, 2008 I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to try this IIPA - it’s been staring at me from the cooler for ages. From the first pour to the last swallow, this is an exceptional brew.Very well balanced flavor, an opulent mouthfeel and an excellent finish swanmann (243), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Aug 12, 2008 The bottle poured solid, tawny brass color with an inch of beige-golden head floating on top. Intense bright citrus rind character dominates the aroma. The flavor is very well balanced, considering. For a IIPA, the sugars, acid, and bitterness are all very much present and at play. Deliciously drinkable. Crosling (1637), Loveland, Colorado, USA Aug 11, 2008 Dark colored Double IPA, a reddish brown with a full developed, well lasting foam. Fairly nice hops nose; oily, pine-like with spruce notes and tropical fruits, peaches and herb. Also a bit of malt as well. Flavor is well balanced, clean, nicely flavored and also has a nice finish. Fairly intense bitterness, but also hop flavors of citrus. Overall, it’s pretty nice. BREWMUSKCLES (754), WEEHAWKEN, New Jersey, USA Jul 22, 2008 alcohol or i should say spirit flavor abounds and intermingles with a bitter but not overwhelming citrus and pineneedle hop character that is chiefly not overwhelming due to a very nice malt and sugar infusion that is toffee like clean and quite refreshing. a pleasant excercise of one’s tastebuds indeed! i am a union railroad employee and i can be proud of this one. caramel orange in color with a mighty beige head. a little pricey for a workers salary, thank goodness for long hours and the overtime.
