Poured from bottle (1/2008). Hops dominate the aroma, but not overwhelmingly astringent. Medium amber color, head is persistent. Big hops and roasted malt in the flavor - would you believe ’roasted hops’? Creamy feel - always a great complement for an IPA. Lotsa lacing. This is one of the most drinkable IPAs I’ve had.

Sep 26, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drug. Lightly orange tinged gold color with a vigorous off-white head. Lucious floral hop aroma. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is pale malt dominated by floral and fruity hop. It’s not so much bitter (though it is bitter) as it is hoppy. Particularly in the finish. More astringent than bitter. Brilliant.

Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. Very clear golden with a fizzy white head, leaves a little lacing. A sweet maltiness, citrus and pine hops on the nose, a little toasted malt. Not super hoppy on the nose. Some citrus, super malty with toasted notes, quite bitter finish. Very bitter finish, med carb and mouthfeel. Would have liked it to have more hop aroma, but kudos to Victory for putting out a big IIPA in 6ers.
