Dec 5, 2004 Orange-red with thin, but sticky head. Sweet pine aroma. Wonderful sweet hoppiness here ... crisp and tart, a hint of citrus, but not too much. Superb beer.

Dec 29, 2005 I think I heard the distributor in central PA say that they will get this beer out all year. That is a good thing as this hop heaven balances bitter, flowery, and malt roast flavor so skillfully.

Jan 22, 2004 Pours to a burnt coppor with a thick creamy white head, a head with significant malt flavor with hops and earth tones. Has a sweet, piney aroma. Gentle on the palate coming in, with lots of malt and earth, but a good hops kick in the hindquarters. The alcohol is noticeable, but only barely. An excellent American Strong.

Oct 25, 2004 Excellent double IPA, amber in color with a generous off-white head, great lacing around the glass, huge hoppy nose with a little pine in the aroma, lots of great hop flavor in the body of the beer, good malt profile to balance it out, lots of citrus & pine notes in the flavors as well, mouthfeel was a bit sticky with resin from the hops, very smooth & drinkable

May 19, 2004 Pours a dark amber brown with a large, tight bubbled, foamy head. Long lasting with beautiful lace. Aroma is powerful sweet citrusy notes with a mild earthyness. Flavor is hop heavy. Nice bitterness on a decent malt body. Great brew.

Feb 2, 2004 Orange-brown color, large webbed head. Clear hoppy aroma. Aroma enticing and exhilirating: citrus notes apparent. Herbal flavors dominate, possible woodiness. Earthy finish. A very "natural" and "rough-hewn" beer. Hearty. For me, sets the standard for what a "winter warmer" ought to be.

Jun 12, 2009 Older rating. Bottle. Pours deep amber to a brownish with a small off-white head. Oh my... the aroma is outstanding. Sweet tropical fruits blended with pine and grapefruits. Flavor is tasty... lotsa pine, lotsa grapefruit, balanced nicely with a tinge of malt. Finishes nice and bitter. Damn good. These guys know what I like in an IPA

Jan 31, 2005 12 oz bottle pours hazy glowing amber-orange color with a thick creamy off-white head that leaves a nice lace in my glass. Sharp hoppy aroma of grapefruit and pine, resinous sticky pine and grapefruit flavors , has a full thick, sticky and slightly syrupy mouthfeel that finishes with a lingering bitterness, has a good malt balance, I need to get more.
