Somewhat hoppy and very sweet aroma with notes of citrus, butter, diacetyl, toffee, grain and sweet fruits. Taste of hops, citrus, butter, toffee, almonds, alcohol, and sweet fruit. Not an American IPA for sure.

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.
