Dec 22, 2008 Pours penny copper with a medium head which disappears quickly. Malt and mango in the nose with hops hiding underneath. Very subdued, mild hop taste with malt and banana bread. Slightly sweet and dry with medium carbonation. Not bad, defintely worth a try.

Dec 5, 2008 This poured a solid copper in color with a thin head. The nose is filled with lots of sweet citrus and tropical fruits with a touch of crème, herbs and caramel. In the mouth it is medium-bodied with plenty of carbonation and a dry, slightly bitter finish. Overall, this was well-balanced and enjoyable. If this was a local, it would be easy to put this in a regular rotation.

Nov 20, 2008 This was an average IPA. Good hops that didnt leave too much of a bitter aftertaste. The only thing was i felt that it was a lttle too sweet. Maybe i have wrecked my palate with all the imperial IPAs ive enjoyed recently. I dont know, but i thought it was a nice change of pace from the traditional high hop and hard finishing IPAs.

Nov 20, 2008 Partly cloudy copper body with a long lasting white head. Intense oak, pine and orange zest aroma. Body felt tailor made for a cask conditioning, soft, viscous and oily. This oily texture holds together eathy spices and citrus fruits flavours. The malt is there to support the flavours but not add to them. The carbonation was very soft even by cask standards. As far as american IPAs are concerned this one is more refreshing than aggressive. Very good. If you drink six of them, women start to look better than they really are, that’s what I call a Hoptical Illusion.

Oct 24, 2008 12oz bottle from across the street. This is a decent IPA with crisp citrus flavors. This was great with some spicy pizza on a Friday night. The Illuminati label freaks me out a little bit.

Oct 23, 2008 pours lighter amber with dense white head. Nice pine, slightly citrus hop aroma. Hops bite from the very first sip, carbonation enhances the bitterness. Malt is in the background but it’s all about the hops here.. As the beer warms, there is a bit more balance. Not overly bitter. Palate is not so much as full as it is prickley.
