wow hot damn. smells like an IIPA, pours like an IIPA, and you guessed it- bitter like an IIPA. pours out dark brown color witha nice white head that just sits there and doesnt show any signs of leaving the beer. smell is very hoppy. smells like great divide hercules. taste is hoppy and dry on the finish, goes down very well. a nice smooth drinking 8% ale. this could get me floored if i had cases of it. i think i found something that i would buy all the time if it were in this state. cheap (3.00 a 22), potent, and excellent. a combo that is rivaled by few. awesome beer.

Oct 10, 2008 Pours a dark copper, even when held to light. Nice lasting off white head with lacing. Slightly sweet and awfully bitter. Tastes of fresh hops with a good sweet after tone. It takes a hop head to appreciate this IPA.

Oct 9, 2008 Draught. Pours a dark copper, with a pillowy off-white head and nice lacing. Nose is nice, sweet rye, spicy, with a piny hop note that meshes with the spicy rye perfectly. Taste begins with a nice, sweet caramel malt body, complemented by rye notes, with a resiny hops making an appearance early and for the duration of the beer. Rye comes out a bit more on the long finish, which is bitter and spicy, but balanced by the last hints of the rye and caramel sweetness. Mouthfeel is superb, full and with a very restrained carbonation.

Oct 8, 2008 16 oz draft at Frisco Grille poured medium copper color with a white head. Nice grassy and herbal hop aroma. Slightly sweet body, dry mouthfeel with a nice snappy hops bite. Good beer! Even better than in the bottle.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours amber with a very fluffy off-white head. Spicey, hoppy aroma, that’s crisp and citrusy. Flavor begins with some light citrus before a bitter assault of hops, some oakiness. The rye really comes out at the finish. Also some alcohol, but not much. Awesome.
