Mar 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear orange amber with a small to medium sized head. Aromas are piled high with sticky citrus hops. Medium, bordering on thick bodied, sweet and malty. Finishes with a nice long quinine bitterness.

Mar 5, 2009 Nice deep amber coloured body with a super thin tan head (that fades right away) and very little else. Aroma of pure hops (high a.a.), malt, cane sugar and even some nuts. Medium-bodied; Super strong hoppy flavour with a potent maltiness, strong sugars and the mouth-coating consistency that makes an IIPA exactly what it is. Aftertaste shows so much of the hops, but also a bit of the sugars and plenty of the full malt. Overall, a decent IIPA, a bit less obtrusive than others and more palatable to me. Worth trying if you prefer IPAs over IIPAs, but could stomach the latter. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Rick’s Beer & Wine in Chicago, Illinois on 13 January 2007.

Mar 1, 2009 Orange body. Thin head. Pine is strong here. Nice carbonation. This is a solid brew from these guys, and I think for me this is a hit or miss brewery. Mark one up for the hit column.

Feb 19, 2009 Pours a nice amber color, slightly murky looking with no head. Aroma has a watered down citrus flavor with some pine notes behind it. Sweet caramel malt notes also are present. Flavor starts with a citrus hops flavor melded with a caramel malt and moves into a light pine hoppiness middle and ends with a sweet caramel and grassy hops ending. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Overall I was expecting a much strong hopped beer by the description but the beer works and is definitely drinkable but I think it could be better.

Feb 14, 2009 Fresh bomber. Pours a clear, dark, orange-amber color with a small, frothy, cream colored head. Micro-spot lacing marks the glass. The aroma shows a prominent toffee malt base, with notes of biscuit and cookie, and a surprising dose of smoked dark fruit. Citrus hops and pine resin are there, but don’t quite stand up to the huge malt. Flavors show a bit more balance, with the citrus and pine hops pushing forward a bit. Gone is the odd smoked note, but buttered toffee and glazed biscuit are still there in a big way. Medium-full bodied and slightly syrupy, peppery citrus bitterness comes through on the finish. Pretty nice, but not nearly as hoppy as advertised.
