jjpm74 (3110), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Sep 5, 2008 Pours amber with a tan rocky head. Smells of bitter citrus, some grass, hints of resin, some spice and doughy. Tastes citrussy and resiny with a caramel finish. goldtwins (3740), Nesconset, New York, USA Oct 30, 2007 GABF 2007: Poured a hazy orange-copper color with an off-white head. Nice fresh sweaty and piney hop aroma. The flavor was a hop and malt mix. Very tasty. Fresh hop notes. Semi-sweet finish with a medium body. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Oct 21, 2007 Date: 10/12/2007

xmarcnolanx (680), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Oct 13, 2007 This is a fantastic IPA. Huge amounts of Hallertau and simcoe hops in the aroma and the taste. Taste is sweet, carameled candied hops with a nice back bone. Very good DIPA.
