Jun 6, 2009 Pours reddish amber with thin head and little floaties. Aroma is pine tree, grapefruit, and some very light caramel sweetness. Medium bodied and a bit oily. Flavor is grapefruit with little else. Slight alcohol burn on the finish. I am not a hop head, but this is balanced enough for me to handle. Can only handle one though.

Jun 6, 2009 Bottle from Wegmans in Princeton, NJ. Hazy dark golden color with a nice white head. Awesome piney hop aroma with some sweet malt. Flavor is sweet malt with a blast of piney and citrusy hops. Really good stuff. Smooth palate with hop oils coating the mouth.

Jun 3, 2009 Bottle and on tap at Taco Mac during epic free shirt quest. Pours cloudy orange copper with a large, lasting off-white head. Amazing smell and taste- grapefruit, pine, floral hops, tropical fruit, cotton candy, caramel. Smooth with a bitter grapefruit finish. Definitely the highlight of the Quest for me.

Jun 1, 2009 Big beautiful rocky head, gorgeous lacing that just coats the glass. Wonderful perfumed pine resin and citrus oil fragrance. Oily, medium mouthfeel with pine resin, citrus oil, grass and herbs - and just enough malt.
Complex, bitter, refreshing.
Lovely deep orange hue, too.

May 30, 2009 12 ounce bottle received in a trade from Illini08. Thanks, Jeremy! I was very excited to try this beer... I love IIPA’s and have heard great things about this one. Pours a deep amber color with a two finger width tan frothy head that stuck around for the duration of the beer. The head is one of the thickest I have ever seen in an IIPA. It also left great lacing on the side of the glass. The aroma was a great mix of strong hops, pine, some citrus and faint malt. The taste is also very good... it consisted of very strong hops, citrus and some slight pine in the background. This had a bit heavier mouth feel that most IIPA’s that I have had which I liked. It also left a great taste of hop bitterness after each sip. Another great IIPA... you really know how to pick them, Jeremy!
