Feb 16, 2008 Updated: Mar 12, 2008Nov. 2006 - Beer poured dark golden color color, nice lacing. Aroma and flavor was super pinelike and grapefruity (I guess that’s simcoe, huh?). Intensely sweet...very sweet, unpleasantly sweet. Very bitter. Intense flavor, just not enjoyable.
Mar. 2008 re-rate - Yes, it’s still intensely sweet, but I didn’t find it all that bitter...could have actually used some more to balance. I enjoyed this quite a bit this time. Thick and creamy. Pretty good.

Feb 16, 2008 Updated: Mar 4, 2009Bottle thanks to franksbeans. Poured a clear copper color with a thick, rocky off-white head that left good lacing. Aroma of piney, resiny, earthy hops. Entry is semi-sweet with undertones of light citrus zest that moves into a piney, resiny hops hit. Begins smooth and finishes slightly chewy from the hops. Really tasty, and I like the aggressive bitterness, even though there isn’t a whole lot of citrus to balance the flavor. Great surprise, thanks Beans.

Feb 14, 2008 Updated: Sep 24, 2008Trade from Tertons, thanks! Pours a deep, hazy, amber color with light off-white head. This beer was actually a gusher, but I saved most of it. Anyway, aroma is piney and resinous with bits of citrus and dish soap wafting in. Taste follows suit with a slick oily palate. It’s good, but not as good as I expected.

Feb 13, 2008 Updated: Sep 6, 200812 oz bottle. Umm...the smells of hops! Bottle, poured into a snifter, nice head (two fingers). Dark amber color. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Taste of hops and some citrus flavor. This beer is sweet, but still high up on the bitterness scale. Which is a nice change up. This is a good IIPA. ****Update***** This 12oz bottle sat for about six months. Much maltier then I remembered, but still has a nice bitter kick to it. The textue is also a little thicker and smoother then last time. Still sweeter then most DIPA’s. Good brew! Quenched my thirst for hops at 2am Sep 6th 08.

Feb 10, 2008 Pours a cloudy rust or amber. Aroma of sour keys, grapefruit and some basic caramel malts. Rich, sweet and roasted malt flavours nearly dominate a crisp hop finish. Moderately bitter and full bodied. Lasting hop finish.

Feb 10, 2008 Copper body with of a little foamy off white head. It had of course a lot of hops. The high ABV give it a slight bitter finish.

Feb 9, 2008 I had this after a Bell’s Expedition Stout. What a contrast. Great hop aroma. Nice amber color with a big fluffy head. Taste is citrus, pine bitter just right for a Piney like me. Not for the feint of heart

Feb 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of resiny floral and citrus hops with a sweet malt backbone. Taste is the same as aroma with a hint of sweet caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a strong but wel balanced amount of bitterness and well hidden alcohol. Very good.
