Feb 23, 2009 Growler. Clear gold pour with a thin white head. Huge piney/resiny/skunk aroma. Flavor is just that, with a bit of caramel and orange zest. Finishes bitter but just a touch too sweet, could use a little more dryness for the abv. Still, great beer.

Feb 22, 2009 On tap at brewery. Pours dark gold with a frothy head. Aroma is a brilliant assortment of floral and citrusy hops, especially grapefruit. Mouthfeel is bright and crisp, and flavor begins with a citrus, rounds with some sweetness in the mid-palate, then ends on a bitter hoppy note. A really well-balanced and flavorful DIPA.

Feb 18, 2009 Growler: Thanks enopacm. Aroma of hops, hop oil, fruit, pine, and slight alcohol. Poured gold in color with a small, dense, white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is light to medium bitter and light to medium sweet. Tastes of hops, pine, light caramel, hop juice, and slight alcohol. Medium body. Smooth, lightly oily, dry texture. Average carbonation. Hoppy, sweet, pine finish is lightly dry.

Feb 17, 2009 Growler 6/15/08 from Larry (Goldtwins): Lightly hazy medium amber w/ a lasting off white head. Piney, resiny, & citrusy hops balanced by caramel and toffee malts. Toasty malt and a light alcohol present. Mild fruity aroma but mostly hops. Toasty and caramel malts balance the lightly hop dominant flavor. Slightly bitter in balance with a hop flavored finish. Piney and tobacco hoppy flavors from start to finish. Lightly fruity, but seems mostly from the hops. Aftertaste is semi sweet. Very smooth, velvety mouthfeel. Lightly warming alcohol, fuller body, and lighter medium carbonation. Very nice IIPA. Glad I took Larry’s advice over the doppelbock at the time!

Feb 10, 2009 Growler at ’Cole’s Rare Beer Fest’, Buffalo, NY. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a small diminishing white head. Wonderful resiny hop aroma nicely backed by caramel malt and some fruit -- simple but awesome. Flavour of resiny piney hops along with malt and fruit again -- lovely and so delicious. Nice long bitter finish. Medium bodied. Simply put, this is a great DIPA!
