Oct 12, 2008 I finaly was able to get my hands on this greatly esteamed brew, worthy of the ratings it has received. A new guy showed up at our homebrew meeting with one of these bad boys and I just about fell out of my bench! Halaluah! Him and I are gonna be good friends. This beer has a holy hop character. A real pungent citrus aroma and flavor. Outstanding.

Oct 3, 2008 Hazy amber with huge beige head. Sweet aroma with loads of hops and notes of pine, grapefruit and caramel. Powerfull hops in the flavour with notes of grapefruit, caramel and pine needles. Solid bitter finish.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Love this beer. Poured a hazy orange/gold with a two finger white head. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus and floral hops. Flavor is well balanced and not too sweet. Citrus hops finish the taste. Great beer!

Oct 1, 2008 Updated: Aug 5, 2009Bottle graciously sent to me by alexsdad06. Thank you so much. This one is a damn fine beer. Wow. Pours a hazy orangish color wtih a very nice whte head. Aroma is a delicious mix of caramel, malts, fruit and spicy and floral hops. Flavor is just a perfect union of big hops and smooth malt. I get citrus, caramel, vanilla, and man I just loved this beer.

Sep 26, 2008 thanks to weeheavysd for the chance. This beer kept eluding me. Pours cloudy orange with a nice white head. Aroma is tropical, citrus, pine and mango. Taste is citrus as well, but not as juicy as the aroma promised. Huge pine with a dry resinous finish. Really nice.

Sep 26, 2008 Lots of citrusy hop aroma with some pine and maybe even a hint of peach. It is a clear light golden color with a decent malt body. It finished a little bitter. Overall it’s good but not as great as I’d hoped. The winter Yulesmith is clearly better, at least from the two most-recent releases.

Sep 24, 2008 Wow...this is one of the best Imperial IPAs I have had in a long time. Pours a hazy gold with a thick off white head. Crazy hops aroma, pine, citrus, and about everything else. Great hop flavor, with a some serious hop bitterness. Really glad I got a second bottle :)
