Aug 10, 2006 draft at Barley’s. great IIPA. served too cold for aroma to really come out as stronly as it should, but was still relatively malty with some suggestion of fruit. very little head, standard orange/brown semitranslucence. taste was exceptional (a nice reminder of hops after 3 weeks in europe). hops were the dominant character but there was definitely a well-done balance with the malts. like the aroma, small suggestion of fruit in the taste. didn’t pay much attention to mouthfeel, which means it was standard. i have a feeling this is a pretty big beer even though i didnt really taste any alcohol. good stuff.

May 2, 2006 Draft at Alehouse #2. Poured hazy dark amber with an average frothy off-white head that lasted. Heavy hoppy citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Full hoppy citrus flavor with a solid hoppy bitter finish that lasted. Good drinkable brew.

Feb 23, 2006 Served in a snifter and poured from the tower at Alehouse #1.
This beer reminded me alot of DFH 90 min IPA. Look great in the glass, a two finger head that’s bursting with hops. Very smooth on the palate and quite drinkable for an Imperial IPA. Hands down, a very solid IIPA.

Feb 10, 2006 On tap at alehouse #1 - Pours amber but cloudy with a short offwhite head. Aromas of straight up c-hops.. citrus, pine, over light caramel malts. One sip though tells you that this brew has some backbone behind those hops.. Nice smooth balance and some very sweet caramel pokes it’s way through the hops to lend a sweet smooth finish. Nice brew...

Feb 10, 2006 Delicious. I don’t know how well this would do bottled and sitting on a store shelf for a while, but straight from the tap, and especially the cask conditioned version I had tonight was great. Gold/orange smal head, nice floral/citrus hop aroma with a big hop taste to boot. Really enjoyable.

Orange-brown body with a solid hop aroma. XL-hop taste, I definitely taste the Cascade and Centennial hops. Very fresh with a bitter finish.

Jun 16, 2005 16oz swig top bottle-hand bottled by Dogbrick-Unfortunately, the bottle leaked a bit, so the carbonation was next to none. pours a deep hazy orange hue with very little carbonation. big pine, grapefruit, resiny hop aroma. you can definately smell the C hops here! i think they lean more towards chinook and cascade. Big citrus, pine, pineapple, graprfruit flavors with a nice sweet malt base. This is a quality IIPA! Definately leans towards the bitter/piney side than the citrus. Medium body. Veyr dry finish-probably from the chinooks. Thanks to Dogbrick for letting me sample this one!

May 30, 2005 Draft at the Brewpub. Straight up DIPA - lots of juicy hops, a bit sweet, nevertheless a real treat on draft. Maybe next time I’ll get the owner to break out a Randall?
