Dec 11, 2006 Amber, with a constant streams of CO2 feeding the peaked off-white head. The aroma is floral and pine, very nice. Medium body, with a good malt presence. The hops start fairly aggressive and mellow. But, the finish is a bit harsh, as the malt leaves the palate and the trailing hops are not pleasant.

Dec 8, 2006 Pours an amber color with a sligtly tannish color head. Aroma is of grapefruit, pine hops, caramel, and sweet malts. Nice aroma but I wish it were a little stronger. Starts off with the grapefruit flavor that gives way to the sweet malts and caramel. As with the aroma I was hoping for a stronger flavor. Not a bad brew, has great potential but doesn’t quite do it for me.

Dec 6, 2006 Bottle. Poured a clear copper amber with a very thin off-white head. A little lacing evident. A nice aroma of sweet aromatic hops. Balanced, fairly dry with a potent bitter finish. Full bodied, smooth and crisp. A good IPA but nothing jumped out at me as exceptional.

Dec 5, 2006 This is a good looking beer. Red gold liquid poured in an explosion of fizzy bubbles that quickly resolved to a 2-finger snow-white rocky head that receded slowly with intricate lacing. Aromas were Grapefruit, lime, and spruce. Flavor was big grapefruit hops. As promised, it was Heavy-Handed. There was a little lemon/lime, herbs and sawdust, too. Very bitter, of course. Great reminder that, without hops, beer is just baby whiskey.

Nov 22, 2006 Got this one bottled at the Binny’s Oktoberfest in St. Charles, Illinois. Crystal clear, dark yellow color with a foamy, white head. Sweet and bitter nose of roses and hops, raisins and orange. A pretty good IPA all around.

Nov 19, 2006 Updated: Oct 4, 20072006 lot # 3006 cluster. nice dark copper hue with a two finger white head and light to medium body with descent lacing. has a small sweet hop smell with some pine. has a nice hop taste with some pine and orange peel. very nice, loads of hops, a definite must try.
2007 lot #2687 centennial. the aftertaste is top notch fresh long lasting hops and pine. aroma is like bitter end but a bit stronger still mostly malt like bitter end with a touch of pine and orange peel especially when it warms a bit. one and a half finger head this time around. a bit flat but a bit oily as well. starts off some pine but really gets going from middle to end and as i mentioned the aftertaste sticks around. nice sticky lacing and sticky to the touch. really grows from start to finish to the aftertaste.

Nov 13, 2006 Cask pull at clark street in chicago.
It is heavy/strong. Alcohol is a bit overwhelming. Under all the spirits it is a grapefruit type hoppiness.
