Jul 9, 2007 Rated 7/9/07. Clear golden body with a thin white film for a head that leaves behind some nice lacing. Aroma is complex, showing lots of malt, toffee, butterscotch, grassy hops, and herbs. Flavor has a nice malty, buttery background, but the grassy/herbal hops really power their way through at first. It goes on to balance itself out as it warms, and turns into buttery smooth goodness. Medium body, with a strong hoppy and then smooth malty finish. The high ABV is well hidden. Very, very good DIPA.

does not count  Jul 6, 2007 Bottle. Nice coppper color and pleasant sweet fruity aroma. Slightly bitter flavor which severey lacks the hopped up pucker I’m longing for. Remove the label and I’d linke the beer more, but knowing I’m in store for the hops- I can’t rave about this one.

Jul 6, 2007 It pours an orange/amber color with good foam. The aroma is piny, bitter, hoppy, and you can spell the alcohol. The taste is hoppy, bitter, smooth after taste esp for a 10 percent beer. You can taste the alcohol in it.

Jul 5, 2007 Poured from a bottle...beautiful head withs very nice slightly cloudy orange tinged appearance. The head is long lasting. The carbonation is light, although the present bubbles add to the appearance. The aroma is hoppy, I like. The flavor is unique and wonderful. Very bitter and hoppy...I love this one.

Jul 3, 2007 Solid brew here. Nice malt presence in it, really up front. Smooth drinker with a nice crisp finish. The aroma was the only thing really laking...

Jul 1, 2007 Pretty average IIPA in my opinion. It looks fairly nice and has a pleasantly full body, but there’s something quite indistinct and mushy about the hop profile of this beer. Sure, the malting is okay but what’s a IIPA about if not the hops, right? It’s got a kick but it’s just a bit shaggy. Given all the other brews out there, this one’s only a modest thumbs-up.

Jun 21, 2007 12 oz bottle. Almost clear muddy orange with a snowy white head. Fruity nose of orange caramel, apple juice and juniper. Bitter orange-pineapple gets more bitter tending to lime peel and gin. Body is a bit too heavy to be refreshing. Light carb; resiny, sticky. Long, dry, aspirin aftertaste.

Jun 18, 2007 12 oz bottle - looks like thick unpasteurized honey in the glass, cloudy copper hued, with a very nice cream coloured head that lasts throughout the glass and leaves intricate lace. Aroma big juicy grapefruit, candied hops and some very sweet malt. This is just all-around BIG. Flavour very, very nicely balanced with the hops and malt mingling expertly. Very soft, creamy mouthfeel. Pleasantly bitter, but slightly too alcoholic in the back palate. You know you’re drinking a strong one here. An all-around excellent beer.
