Aug 4, 2009 Draught at GBBF 2009. An amber coloured pour with a good white head. Aroma of hops/pine. Malty, hoppy, fruity, almost sweet. Very nice indeed. Well balanced. A complex quality DIPA. I could get wrecked on this!

Jul 12, 2009 Updated: Aug 31, 2009beautiful hop aroma of pine, citrus and flower all beery and exciting. flavor is first and foremost malt but a substantial hop hit and may i say 8 oz at the Pony nyc for $5. strong but not overpowering it is a good representation without being over the top. also it was quite a light amber and clear for the powerful flavor. nice substantial body. RERATE FROM A16.9 OUNCE BOTTLE this beer gets better every time you drink it fine fruit apple and grape flaovred fruit punch yet still a fine gentlemans ale! a must try!

Jun 17, 2009 Updated: Dec 3, 2009I was the first to rate this when I had it on tap and gave it a 3.8. I have just tried the bottle from summer 2009 and am upgrading my rating. The pour is an unexpectedly light and pretty gold for an IIPA, and leaves behind a nicely laced glass. There is an odd drawing on the label - a keg roasting on an open fire? Very fine aroma of sweetly floral and resinous hops. Captain’s Reserve is a nicely saturated and piney hop nectar, with a dollop of malty sweetness. The dry, green hops are fully in charge. This has 5 diffrent kinds of hops says the label, and it is a tribute to American brewing ingenuity - no complaints on that from this rater. Ah, the beauty of an evergreen forest in a bottle. It tastes like a natural medicine, like a great beer. I salute the captain! I must add that I tried it again on tap, and again it was not as good - the bottled version is better.

Jun 8, 2009 Tap at the Ginger Man in NYC. Clear golden-orange color with a whitish head. Piney hop aroma along with sweet malt. Flavor is piney hops, citrus, and sweet pale/caramel malt. Well-balanced with a medium-full, somewhat oily palate. Good stuff all-around.
