Mar 16, 2009 12 oz bottle Aroma of pine and hops and IPA goodness. Poured a clear deep golden color with a small white head that didn’t linger. The flavor and palate were sort of a junior version of big brother Ruination. A superior IPA.

Mar 15, 2009 Bottle from Port Chester Beer Distributor. Golden color with a warm and sweet floral hop flavor. Great hop flavor without the sting of alcohol.

Mar 13, 2009 Extreme hoppy flavor as suggested on the label. A nice murky golden color with a large bite of hops with each drink. Very full flavored beer and the 6.9% alcohol by volume sneaks up on you.

does not count  Mar 11, 2009 I could nose this beer all day, with its insistent hops jumping at me from my tulip glass. Pine notes abound, not quite like a Christmas tree, but close enough to merit mention. People seem to think this beer has some semblance of balance to it; I don’t. The hops kicked me right in the teeth and went screaming down my throat. If I’m in the right mood I can enjoy it, but it’s not one of my favorite IPAs.

Mar 10, 2009 Updated: Apr 2, 2009Bottle. Pours clear amber with a frothy white head. Aroma is mostly piny hops, a little bit of caramel and spice. Mouthfeel is nice and fairly thick. Initial taste is floral hops with just enough malty citrus sweetness, but quickly becomes an overwhelming aspirin bitterness- finish is long, but purely bitter without much character.

Mar 10, 2009 Tried this for the first time in Kentucky this past weekend (can’t get it in Bama, of course). Overall, simply, I loved it. Solid flavor, good carbonation. Lots of subtle and not so subtle pine notes and a little citrus. Should have brought back a crate! Ruination is up next.

Mar 8, 2009 Enjoyed on the patio at the brewery. Looks great - smells better; pine, malt and big cascade hop presenece. Flavor is much the same as aroma. Extremely well balanced and 6.9% is well hidden - until about half way through your 3rd pint I found.
One of the best (actually probably the best) American style I.P.A.s..
Could we get this in Ontario please?
