Clear amber with a webby head. I think I’ve cooled the bottle too much, ’casue the aroma is a bit distant. It is however hoppy, like grass and iron. My first drink is like an explosion!! The first tasting glimpse is of pine and wet soil, but quickly it goes into caramel, flowers, orange, mandarin and sugar. It is sweet, oily and sticky, but not overly like for instance Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA. It ends on a grape note, and leaves you desperate for more. Amazing!

Aug 15, 2008 Light copper color, medium bodied, creamy smooth palate, great lacing. Actually, not overly hoppy, but a great sweet malt that includes some nice apricot notes and citrus aromas. TOo bad you could drink this like water, it’s a bit expensive!

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle: pours a cloudy brownish-orange with a frothy white head, aroma is hoppy, citrus and some other smell that I can’t really place, taste is surprisingly mellow, malty and sweet. There is a bit of bitterness in the finish but overall a mellow and balanced DIPA. Pretty good.

Aug 12, 2008 Dark amber under a creamy lasting & lacing beige head. Very strong and complex hop profile over the American palette, inviting. Quite malty and fruity at the first swallow, then it explodes in a resinous very drying bitter end.

Jul 25, 2008 650 ml. Hazy dark copper with a small, tries-to-last head. Molasses, caramel, resin, citrus and chocolate aromas. Flavor is all that plus some oak wood, walnut and light alcohol. Near medium body is watery, smooth and dryish with slight chest-warming alcohol.
