Sep 4, 2009 Pours burnt orange with gold highlights and a moderate to small white head. Aroma is piny and fruity, but like some strange flowers I’ve never smelled before; also with lemon, unoaked chardonnay, and a slight white chocolate malt base. Tastes sweet at first with white chocolate, white bread, and brown sugar, sweet orange and lemon citrus, slight pine, and plants. Finishes with linger sugar-coated citrus that’s kinda tangy, fruity, and plenty bitter. Medium bodied, light-ish carbonation, very soft mouthfeel. Decent and interesting, it’s got some finesse aside from the bitterness.

Sep 19, 2009 12oz bottle. Batch 072 Best Before 26/05/10
Golden in colour, also with thin head and very little carbonation. Nose is light and grassy. Much more complexity on tasting than the Punk IPA, there’s a caramel cookie quality to the malt which drops away quickly to reveal a pleasing though hard to identify hop finish that does linger. Despite a warm alcohol intensity in the afterglow of this beer the alcohol is well integrated. Still, like its Punk IPA brethren there’s something very Czech about the vibe here...where are they getting their hops from? Can you make an IIPA with Saaz hops? Maybe my palette is still whacked from that cold I got over recently...curious.

Mar 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a slightly fruity hoppy bitter aroma. Sweetish malty hoppy bitter flavor with some hints of citrus. Sweet malty and hoppy finish with a long bitter aftertaste.

Aug 22, 2009 Bottled 33cl. Hoppy aroma with some malt showing up. Sweet taste. Reminiscent of Great Divide Hercules Double IPA. Boring. Decent.

Jul 29, 2008 660 mL bottle. Poured hazy golden with fizzy white head. Moderate lace. Grassy, piney nose. Sharp, dry, astringent hop bite that makes it slightly difficult to drink.

Nov 19, 2007 33 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Clear golden colour with a little head. Hoppy nose with hints of grapefruit, and citrus. Also flavour of grapefruit, citrus, peach and alcohol. Not a very amarican style IIPA, need a lot of caramel. But not bad anyway.

Jan 1, 2009 Bottle. It pours an orange-yellow body under a quite small off-white head. Malty on the nose, some beefstock, and a good dash of hops giving pinecone scents and some tropical fruits. Mostly hop driven flavor with pinecones, peach and other tropical fruits. Medium heavy malty background with sweetness and some beef-stock. Full-bodied and almost astringently bitter. Bitter finish. The beer has a fine hop profile, but lacks a bit on the maltyness. Imperial American Pale Ale more than Double IPA. Lovely though. (081031)
