Dec 23, 2004 Hoppy, but not painfully so. Not really that much of a Double IPA. Not that great of a beer. A decent brew, though I don’t know why a IPA is wintery.

Dec 19, 2004 On cask: This beer had a very kick. Impressive. A lot of orange and hops. Not bad for a double IPA, i had expected a lot more hops. Very well balanced

Dec 17, 2004 I had this, cask-conditioned, at the RFD tasting. A fruity pale ale. Nice cloudy lemony taste with a slow blooming hop.

Dec 15, 2004 Bottle - thanks to axilla for the trade. Pours gorgeous redditsh amber with a moderate beige head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is mild, malty with a floral hoppiness. Good flavor, nice balance of sweet, mild malts and bold hops - assertive but not overpowering. Light to medium body and brash carbonation. Nice beer and very enjoyable. Too bad they only make this in winter...

Dec 9, 2004 This is a fine strong ale - sure, maybe the malts and alc% veer it towards IIPA, but geez, I’ve tasted more hops in some regular pale ales. Ok, the aroma has a big hop - piney, citrus, some sweetness. Taste is sweet thick bready malts and a super tasty orange juice hop with hints of pine. I really do like this. Grabbed this bottle at D’s in Pittsburgh, 11/11/04

Dec 9, 2004 On tap at Andy’s Corner. Clear, dark amber color with a thick white head.
Nice hoppy/piney aroma. Flavor was more subdued than the aroma let on.
Hoppy, but not overly so. Nice malt balance.
