Dec 7, 2007 12 oz bottle. Bought a sixer based on RateBeer reviews. (Gotta love Internet access via Blackberry!) <P>Pours a medium amber, about the same color as the bottle containing it. Almost brilliantly clear, had a thin head and white ring around the glass with pretty lacing throughout. Smelled some piney resin but not overwhelming, with a tiny bit of malty aroma. Taste was very pleasantly bitter, somewhat sweet, with nice hop flavor (citrusy grapefruit and orange). I don’t taste the Fuggles at all. Malts are there but subtle. I especially like the fact that the beer isn’t overdosed with sweet malts, etc. It’s well balanced. Overall, a very nice double IPA that I would certainly enjoy again!

Dec 1, 2007 This is a well done IPA, but I’m not crazy about it. Very grapefruity and citrusy, astringent, etc. I don’t really dig that kind of IPA as much, I’m more into the flowery kind.

Nov 29, 2007 A gift from my buddy Ross, thanks man! Pours out a copper colored orange with a light orange and thick head. Aroma is very citrusy and pine, a weird tingle occured in my nose when I smelled this and I enjoyed it. Once you take a sip of this brew, caramel and biscuit flavors come out due to the malts as well as a touch of brown sugar. Hold on though, because soon after your pallate takes a smack of piney hops in this roller coaster of a beer. Not the best IIPA I’ve had but I would certainly have this again if offered. Well done Breckenridge!!!!

Nov 24, 2007 on tap at Taco Mac (John’s Creek). deep golden color with minimal head. slight hoppy/apricot aromas (wish the aromas were a bit stronger). medium body, hoppy and full of apricot and some peach. More fruity than your typical IIPA. An excellent brew, but wish the hops came through a bit more...

Nov 23, 2007 Pours clear orange-gold with a minimal white head. Biscuits, oranges, grapefruit, and caramel in the nose. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Sweet grapefruit hops up front that move into a resiny bitterness. A caramel/candy sugar-like sweetness follows, which gets somewhat unpleasant towards the end. Seems to emmulate Lagunitas’ Maximus in the sweetness. I wanted more hop bite, but this was still good.
