Aug 13, 2008 650, capped. Pours crystal clear medium golden amber with a loose and frothy white head. Intermittent lace. Puts up a fairly pungent nose of mango, tangerine, caramel, and a bit of butterscotch. Medium, creamy body. Soft carb. All the fruits and sweets return for the mid-palate. Maybe a bit of diacetyl happening here. Overall, it’s a sweet and very drinkable DIPA, maybe a bit buttery, but hides the booze well and is fairly refreshing for the level of sugars knocking around.

Aug 12, 2008 Updated: Sep 28, 200922 oz bottle bb. 3/3/09 poured a golden color with a one finger white head and steady carbonation. aroma has thick sweet malt, grass, mild citrus and hops. mouth feel is medium with hefty carbonation. flavor has bittering hops, grass, floral honey sweetness, and chewy malt. sweet and bitter but lacking in the pine and citrus. perhaps this bottle sat at the store for a while but it is not quite imperial level.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle that I picked up at Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon and consumed at Cropredy Festival 2008 Pours light gold with a nice white head. There is a slight thick honey sweetness and its hoppy with also some lovely silky, citrusy, and tangy sweetness. This really was quite hoppy but I’d had the Ruination beforehand so I think the effect had been diminished ever so slightly, still this is a great beer.
