May 2, 2005 Updated: Sep 27, 2005Man that’s some head!!! I’ve got about an inch of a very pretty orange/golden color body with a gi-normus foamy head. Haven’t seen a head like that since Yard’s IPA. Nice piney hop nose. The flavor’s a thick resiny pine needle taste with a nicly balanced citrus and sweet malt finish. Definately tamer than the last couple I have had (which were both in august and sept.). Very enjoyable!

Apr 26, 2005 Pours a clear copper color with a small white head that really hangs in there. Has a big hoppy nose full of citrus and pine. Good thick resiny mouthfeel typical of a nice highly hoppped double IPA. Great citrusy hop flavor with a little pine, with a good malt backbone. If you cant stand the hops, stay out of the IPAs!

Apr 21, 2005 Lightly cloudy ash amber with white froth head. Highly hoppy . Here should I finish, but I simply can’t. Readers need to know more, right? Ok then, here we go: hops, hops then with next sip I had hops. But wait! - Hops. Oi !

Apr 10, 2005 We were a little worried about this one, as we’d had it for a long time ~6mths. But, it was actually surprising. Very Avery in character, with a huge hop nose. Glowing orange, similar to Dreadnaught. Taste was all hops, bitter with a nice backdrop of malt to hold it up. At first, a bit thin, but as it warmed a little the body came through. A good one!

Apr 10, 2005 Cloudy amber w/ finger of off-white foam. Big hoppy aroma of grapefruit, pine, & leafy tobacco. Thick, resiny feel. Flavour is surprisingly sweet & malty, yet big & hoppy nonetheless. Long, bitter finish.

Apr 6, 2005 Big hoppy beer, with great aroma and big head. Liked the color,the dark fruit, the yeast. I would have been happy with a bottle of this all night. Rounded edges with malt. I am a fan of this brewery.
Last call at Radekfest 05, thanks for bringing MDS.
