Nov 4, 2007 Summer edition. Red & Blue logo with fireworks design.
Pours pale yellow & clear. Overly generous white head. Very thick & meringue like. Nice.
Aroma is of dry pine cones, pine needles, and smells of crisp autumn air (maybe just the pine cone thing going too far).
Palate is warm with hearty malt and smooth hop tang. Not extremely assertive for a strong IPA. Very drinkable. Very approachable to those not already into DIPAs. It certainly does not come across like an 8.5% beer.

Nov 4, 2007 Nice refreshing hop flavor. Caramel and pine hints. Aroma is floral and hoppy. Overall, this brew is nicely balanced. I can’t wait to try the winter release.

Oct 28, 2007 #200...Bottle: Pours a cloudy orange-tan color with a minimal white head. This could be one of the most pleasant aromas I’ve ever smelled. Notes of grapefruit, peaches, bananas, caramel malt along with floral and pine hops. Very silky smooth in the mouth. Hop-bomb that doesn’t shaolin-finger jab the other caramel and fruity accents. Phenomenal brew by a great brewery. I can’t remember who traded me this but thank you.

Oct 26, 2007 Very nice double IPA. Nice color and with a hop haze. Very hoppy and citrus like smells emanate. Big hop flavor with a big malt balance makes this easily one of the best in the category I have tried. I highly recommend.

Oct 25, 2007 Thanx to Quake for sharing this at Tampa Gathering. Pours a hazy golden color.Nose is hoppy, citrus and floral. Flavor is a full onslaught of hops as it finished hoppy and my palate felt abused from the bitter hop assault.

Oct 23, 2007 the beers sits there, exemplary of everything it attempts to be..the head has interwoven layers of puffy, pillowy white...underneath is unfiltered orange..the aroma is indeed quintessential...dry, musty apricot, pineapple and citrus vapors..Bitter, yet refined flavors hinting towards citrus rind, apricot drained of its sweetness, and a solventy, dry finish...piney almost near the end...but i like the dry solvent notes...they are classy!

Oct 14, 2007 Poured an orange color. hops very evident in taste. Found it similar to stone’s ruination. Finishes with a zing of alcohol and zest. Amazing beer.
