Apr 22, 2009 I can’t believe this is 10%! Had a bottle at one of the best bars in the world: Hopleaf in Chicago.

Apr 22, 2009 Superb aroma of floral hops, citrus, and honey, mellow and full. Amber honey colored pour. Funny drawing on label of a floored hop lover. Dry and subtle hop flavors dominate, orange, herbs, and flowers. There is something a little medicinal, like Toms of Maine toothpaste, in there too, but it is not unpleasant. Fragrant and fully hopped, but with a mild sweetness that takes the edge off. A fresh tingle comes on towards the end of the swallow. The 10 percent ABV is very well concealed. This is a top of the line IPA that goes into my Top 10. A big thanks to Adrian for sharing another Michigan classic with me.

Apr 21, 2009 Pours a smooth amber with a thin, fizzy, white head. Rich aroma of hops, citrus, and pine. Medium body. Strong bitter flavor of hops, malts, some citrus, pine, and earthy notes, other fruits and spices. Bitter and dry finish. A very good india pale ale from start to finish.

Apr 20, 2009 12oz - I expected something, and I was pleasantly surprised by another. The honey takes this IPA in a nice, new direction. Something nice within a saturated style.

Apr 18, 2009 Courtesy of daknole. Sweet orange/citrus aroma sweet malt as well. Not as bitter of an aroma as I expected.Flavor is sweet at first, grapefruit and pine then it finishes bitter. Progressively goes from sweet to bitter the moe I drink it. Not as brutal as I thought it was going to be on the tongue.

Apr 18, 2009 A wizard of the order of Hopoptimus ate hop buds and drank the sweet breast milk of voluptuous virgins. It aged in his yeast inladed cask belly for as long as it takes bucko and then out comes this stuff from his pristine piss rod. At your leisure sir. The check is now officially in the mail. Thank You Bells. 2009 12 oz.

Apr 18, 2009 I heard this was worth the $15.99, so I made the investment. Excellence has its price and its 10%a.b.v. Surprisingly well balanced considering the dump trunk of hops and the everclear level of alcohol. Love it.

Apr 14, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Coasters. Clean, citrusy pine and grapefruit hop aroma. Color is dark orange, hard to distinguish in appearance from an IPA. Flavor is incredible; pineapple, grapefruit, some alcohol and some sweetness. The honey probably adds to the stickiness. I must say this is better 2 months after its initial release now that the honey has worked its way through. Still probably not as good as the 2008 version but still outstanding.
