Sep 2, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour. Gold, thin white head. Soft aromas of citrus and cedar wood warm to a light swirls of caramel. Tangerine and tropical fruit flavors ride notes of toffee from start to finish. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. A mellow D-IPA that seemed to work for me...

Jul 11, 2009 Updated: Jul 14, 200922 oz bottle -- Amber with a slight haziness, but no activity. The head is somewhat watery, yet stands. The aroma is kinda soapy, almost buttery. The flavor is thick with piney hoppiness, the mouthfeel a bit syrupy. Very drinkable, particularly for 9%. (#3601, 11 July 2009)

Jul 25, 2009 Think this is old batch but date in the description is unclear. Strongly hopped nose with citrus and fresh grass. Pours medium-pale copper with a bathtub suds ring rather than a head. Flavour is potently hoppy with a slight citric sweetness (lemonadey) that quickly gives way to a long and intensely bitter finish reminiscent of one of those herbal italian digestifs such as Fenet Brahca. Very nice indeed, and if this is the old batch I will look forward to trying the new one.

Feb 1, 2008 Pours out in a clear golden colour with a rich white foam. Sharp, almost acidic aroma of green apples and grapefruit. Hmmm. . Almost shockingly hoppy flavour of grapefruit, wet grass and pine without almost no residual sugars at all. Medium to full bodied. Long bitter finish of wet grass, sweat and lemon. Not your typical US Impy IPA, quite weird, but still charming.

May 22, 2008 DLD, a table offering and not sure whom brought this: Yellow hue with a fizzy fading head and some lace. The aroma has notes of flowery and resiny hops, pale and biscuity malts, some pepper and clove, and some citric vapours. The taste pretty much follows suit, mostly bitterness and acidic fruit with some pale malt in the background before a peppery and slightly boozy finish. The mouth feel is metallic and chalky, aggressive carbonation, and the alcohol is noticeable. An okay DIPA but wished for a bit more depth.

Jun 30, 2008 1 pint, 6.4 fl oz bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Batch 001. Pours hazy orange with a small, rocky, white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, straw), heavy hops (perfume, pine, grapefruit, flowers), average yeast (dough) with notes of pear and apricot. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Jun 16, 2008 750ml bottle, enjoyed on brew day. Pours hazy orange. Very citrusy aroma (if not a bit sharp), you can tell this is going to be bitter. The flavor is very bitter with plenty of alcohol. There is also citrus peal, spicy & herby hops in abundance. Is that peated malt I detect in there? There is a bit of grain to this but it is hops hops and more hops through and through. Semi-dry, medium body. It’s good, but a bit coarse

Jul 23, 2008 Bottle (in New Zealand), pours a clear gold with a foamy white head. Yip, plenty of hops on the nose - almost nasal burning. Resiny mostly, just a hint of caramal malt int he background. Very smooth with toffee malt on the palate. The swallow releases the drying effect of the citrus hops, and also alcohol fumes that rise into the sinuses. The finish is surprisingly creamy, grassy with some aniseed. Packs a big punch this, and pulls that off pretty well.
