Apr 24, 2009 Bottled as "YuleSmith Holiday Ale" (Vasa session).
Hazy orange color, huge off-white head. Strong nose of mango, rye, berries and bread. Bitter, fruity, toffee, malty flavor. There is some cracker maltyness and citrusy notes. Drinkability is nice. Could be more complex and bottle could be more fresh, but overall quite good DIPA.

I want to hang a map of the world in my house then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve travelled to. But first I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won’t fall down.

Apr 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy reddish color, with creamy white head and lacing. Nose is big on hops, lots of citrus and tropical fruits. Very forward. Flavors are more of the same, with citrus, big hoppy mango, tropical elements, and some vanilla. Very smooth, and very drinkable.

Apr 2, 2009 Bottled @ jbrus. Hazy orange color, short head. Aroma is very hoppy, grapefruit. Soft and balanced taste. Smooth, but still with a decent bitterness that never becomes too astringent.

Mar 31, 2009 A: Same as the winter edition nice copper orange color with a big frothy bubbly head made up of lots of tiny bubbles.
S: Lots of sweet malt coming right at you in the nose. The hops are there though and they let you know it. Tons of floral aromas with hints of pine sap. Very nice.
T: Tastes as good as the winter variety but the hops are a bit in your face. The malt balance is wonderful and the sweet malt teams perfectly with the bitterness of the piney hops. I really like this one.
M: Nice and thick coats the mouth and the stomach what more could you want.
D: Very drinkable for a DIPA
