Commercial Description:
Bigger than either an English or American IPA in both alcohol strength and overall hop level (bittering and finish). Less malty, lower body, less rich and a greater overall hop intensity than an American Barleywine. Not necessarily as high in gravity/alcohol as a barleywine. A showcase for hops. Warning: this ale is 10%+/- alcohol by volume and extremely bitter!

Growler acquired in trade with bgburdman9 (thanks!). Poured a medium to deeper and cloudy amber color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of grapefruit, pine, oranges and caramel. Tastes of pine, caramel, and citrus (grapefruit and orange peels). This one was nice and bitter with a malty backbone. Alcohol content well hidden. Nice IIPA...

Served on tap in a snifter at the Smokehouse with some grilled wings and sauerkraut balls. Slightly murkey golden amber hue with thin slight white head. Flavor was grapefruit and hops. Nice sharp bitter aftertaste. 11% ABV was detectable and appreciated. This is one of the better IPA’s that I’ve tasted to date. I would order this again.

Sampled from a growler on 8/26/06: Pours a clear copper orange with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of sweet, toasty caramel and big, fresh citrusy piny hoppiness. Body starts with a viscous sweet caramel maltiness, nicely-balanced with a more bitter, fresh, resiny hop presence toward a bittersweet, slightly warming grapefruity finish. A pretty good double IPA.

9/29/06: On tap @ the Smokehouse.
Aroma of malt, alcohol and fruit (plum). Light to a medium brown body with a low amount of carbonation. Very little lacing. Flavor is fruity (citrus and plum) with alcohol and a touch of sugar. Hoppy (pine) finish.

Growler thanks to my boy Trep. Poured a hazy amber color with a medium off-white head. The aroma was big and full of hops. Piney and sweaty with a decent amount of caramel mlat showing through. Malty flavor mixed with plenty of earthy and piney hops. Notes of candy as well. Nice warming sensation.

Thanks to Trep for bringing a growler of this to kp’s Fest of 26. Slightly hazy light amber body with a fleeting head. Muted hop aroma with a solid underlying malt base. Smooth, well balanced, nice bitter finish.

A nice light amber pour. An aroma of big hops of an unknown origin. A slightly sweet malt flavor with a big hops kicker. This was a damn fine beer thanks to whomever brought this to kp’s cellar. Nice! I almost passed on this beer don’t ever make that mistake if you like hops and alcohol.

KP’s fest. Growler. Porus a medium amber with a thin white head and some nice sticky lace. Aroma is very resinous, pine, citrus, orangey, grapefruit, smokey-chinook-like. Sticky thick malty body, caramel sweetness, with more resin hops, citrus, pine with a powerful bitterness. Nice body and full mouthfeel.
