Jul 13, 2009 750 bottle (batch D8121) from South Bay Drugs ($6.99). Are there any other corked and caged IPA’s out there?? Pours a murky dark brown-orange (I guess this is what is called "copper"). The two fingers of off-white head has good staying power and leaves nice lacing. Nose is predominately citrusy hops with grapefruit standing out the most but there is also pine. I don’t get much of the peach and apricot that the official description describes. Taste starts with a light malty sweetness but quickly moves into hoppy-bitter territory with grapefruit flavors again standing out along with some noticeable alcohol. There is not as much lingering bitterness as many others in this style.

Jul 9, 2009 Great aroma of citrus and biscuits. Rusty orange with a rocky tan head that stays around. Caramel body with a pleasing bitterness and warmth. Not overly bitter, finishes long.

Jul 6, 2009 Bottle, marked Batch 08305. Pours a hazy, nutty brown with a foamy, long lasting beige head. Aroma of faded hops, caramel malts, and a little bready yeastiness. Flavor of nice pine hop bite up front, followed by malts, white pepper, and some citrus. Good duration and nice syrupy mouth.

Jul 6, 2009 Pretty copper color. Nose is great, caramel malt, mint, and of course a nice hop character. Taste was a little dissapointing. Heavy malt and molasses backbone, nice citrusy hops upfront, the finish was overwhelmingly resinous and pretty boozy. Might be an older bottle, I’ll have to come back to this one when it’s a little fresher

Jul 6, 2009 Bottle thanks to BuckeyeBoy: Copper color with a substantial off-white head. Great aroma with hops abounding mixed with the tires when you first walk into a tire store. Super hoppy, dried grapefruit rind, and did I mention,super hoppy with a mouth full of bitterness. Quite enjoyable. This brew will go after your taste buds. This is BIG IPA. Ouch!

Jul 6, 2009 750ml Bottle courtesy of BuckeyeBoy.
cloudy orange/amber with a nice off-white head. Nice aroma, a bit like a sweet carmely BW. Quite bitter flavors, modest malt profile, not so much of the fresh west coast variety.
Bitter enough for a dbl but lacing some of the hop flavor I look for.
Nice though.
