From the new 22.4 oz bottle. Best before 10/29/10. Purchased for 5.99, a lot cheaper than these use to be. Pretty good stuff actually, better than I expected it to be. very drinkable IIPA. Not too bitter and not too sweet. A solid bitterness lingers on the tongue though. A light piney and earthy flavor to this one. Pretty solid IIPA that I would drink again if i know its fresh.

Dec 26, 2009 New Version
Clear dark amber/orange. Decent head with lace. Herby/resiny hoppy aroma, slightly sweet. Very hoppy flavor with resiny/herby/slighlty woodsy notes. Also graefruit and a good amount of tangy rasberry/strawberry. Very good, different sweet flavor profile from most IPA’s.

Dec 24, 2009 Old version, poured amber with a nice lasting head. Aroma was floral and herbal, with slight burnt malts. Taste was british hops up front, with some burnt toast malt that leads to a hop bitterness in the end. Overall a decent DIPA, but not the usual flavors.

Dec 21, 2009 Serious bitter hop aroma. Both oak and cat-piss. Tangerine and grapefruit. Tremendous.
Appears hazy yellow, like a hefe. Little to no head. Tiny, stray, upfloating bubbles. Pale amber/gold.
Flavor is blood orange and tangerine. Bitter grapefruit aftertaste. All citrus with a mild okay aftertaste as well. Roasted burnt cookie malts.
The palate is thick and creamy. A nice bitter fizz. An outstanding beer. Hops of a harvest ale; malts of a burnt nature.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy yellow gold color. The head was two fingers high and consisted of big, soapy white bubbles. Equally matched malty caramel and fruit in the nose with a whiff of pine. Fruit aromas included pineapple, apricot, and orange. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with moderate bitterness. Pine was more prominent than the fruit in the flavor with a strong malty caramel and toasted bread backbone.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle. Batch #261 BBD 20/09/10. A medium golden color with minimal head. It seemed a little flat. A syrupy sweet aroma dripping with pine and hops. A sharp bitter bite.

Dec 18, 2009 Batch 207 2/2/2010 - smells like bad Homebrew from 3’ away. Taste is no better. $8.99 down the drain - literally.

Dec 15, 2009 Cask, 2nd annual Buffalo Cask Festival @ Cole’s. Nose is caramel, a bit of piney hops, but mostly alcohol & medicinal aromas. Flavor is caramel, honey, piney hops, a little resin. Bitter largely toffee finish. Kind of like an old bottle of DFH 90 minute.
