Nov 30, 2009 bottle, from ether Julio’s or Halftime, I forget.. Good aroma, sweet. Butter scotch, in a good way though. Hazy brownish orange color, small head, faded quick, no lace. Sweet bitter flavor, Al ot of caramel for a ipa, not super hoppy. Medium body, creamy oily mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Eh, kind of confirming my feeling about Euro ipa’s, gotta be better there then here. Believe it was the most recent batch as I passed on two others form them as too close to expiration date.

Nov 27, 2009 27-NOV-2009, bottle @home.
Batch 057 (I think - letters are very small, and ABV is high!) before date:15-11-10, so I guess this is the new version.
Quite light in colour with orange hue, and almost white head.
Lovely grape fruit nose. Very bitter, very little malt - unfortunately. Not so IIPA, more like a hardcore IPA.:-)
Lacks some in creaminess, and is a bit onedimensional. Still I enjoy it. Especially the long lasting taste.

Nov 17, 2009 22.4oz bottle from batch 207 poured into a Snifter at 45°. Color is a hazy yellow orange average carbonation and a very thin head. Aroma is light with the hops showing a flowery citrus and a metallic scent on top. Starting with a bold medium bold it goes down with a sticky feel that gives a slight sharp nip on the end. Finish is rich with caramel, honey and pear then a nice bitterness rolls in with a light pine and grapefruit taste. In the after taste there is a mild bitterness but leaves you slightly clean with just a hint of alcohol. Overall this is a kick ass Imp. IPA, rich feel, even bitterness and very light on the citrus.

Nov 13, 2009 Appearance was floodwater muddy brown with a slight tan head and a bit of lacing.
Smell was freshly mown grass and a hint of orange peel.
Taste was hos, hops, hops. Dry and bitter with a hint of malt but dominant hops, very long finish with slight black pepper.
Not too over the top, a good example of an American style IPA.

Nov 13, 2009 Bottled, Batch 002, BB 7/7/09. Poured hazy straw golden with a short, loose-bubbled white head. The aroma picked up plenty of pineapple and passion fruit over a pale and bready base.. tart and tangy with more apparent acidity than bitterness. The flavor found more pineapple in the form of meat and bitterness.. pale malts at the core didn’t factor in much.. peppery yeast joined tart pineapple and what seemed like oak on the edges.. dry, toasty, sour finish. Medium-bodied with low carbonation on the palate.. the juicy pineapple was enjoyable, but the rest didn’t flow that well.
