Oct 28, 2009 Bomber from stfun.... Poured into a snifter, nice dark hazy orange color. Small head that faded quickly. Nice piney and citrus aroma. Taste is fruity hops with a mild amount of bitterness... Well balanced. Easy to drink. I was expecting more of a hop bomb... Texture was average, could use a little more carbonation. Overall, a nice DIPA to sip on and watch the phillies win game 1 in the WS. Thanks josh!

Oct 25, 2009 Pours a clear golden orange.
Nose is bright and clean with pine, grapefruit, and hints of vanilla.
Taste starts with a big harsh hop bitterness, lots of pine, nice earthy flavors, hints of vanilla, a little bit of grapefruit. Great beer, but i think it raped my palate.

Oct 11, 2009 (Bottle, thanks scrizzz!) Pours hazy amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is medium to heavily green-ish hoppy with fantastic fruit overtones of passion fruit, papaya, strawberries, star fruit, lychee, black currant, mango, pineapples, peach and juicy oranges/pink grapefruit. There are also some more “heavy” hop notes of fresh herbs, pine, earth, resin and roses. Easy going, toasted malt profile. A whisper of yellow apples, watermelon and ripe pears. Very clean nose - no yeast or disturbing acid notes. One of the most complex hop aromas I have ever smelled. The flavour is light sweet, medium to heavily bitter and light acidic. Very clean, citric juicy, piny, earthy, light salty and exotic fruity. Perfect toasted, light caramelly malt backbone. The mouthfeel is clean and soft at first before the hop acid tones kicks in. Near medium carbonation. Lingering afterbitterness. More resinous and earthy in the finish but there are still room for tropical fruits. Light alcohol warmth. Medium bodied. Near perfect, I love!

Oct 10, 2009 GABF 2009. Pours sparkling amber with an average, fizzy white head, somewhat diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, hay, straw, cereal), heavy hop (flowers, perfume, grass, pine, grapefruit), average yeast (sweat, earth) with notes of pear, peach, and pineapple. Full bodied, creamy texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.
