Jan 24, 2006 2005 GCBC. Cloudy orange pour with a pretty decent sized head. Huge grapefruit rindy and pine hop aromas, and a decent backbone of sweet caramel malt. More cirtus and piney hoppy goodness in flavor, with a decent backing of sweet caramel malt. Fairly big bitter bite to finish. Alcohol was a little too upfront, but other than that, a very good iipa.

Dec 27, 2005 On tap at the 2005 GCBC: Pours a hazy copper bronze with a thick, long-lasting and well-lacing off-white head. Very fresh piney and grapefruity hoppy aroma has some sweet caramel malty balance. Fresh real hoppy body has a nice sweet caramel toffee presence toward a big, bitter, and lightly warming finish. A very nice double IPA. I sure wish Copper Creek were closer to Atlanta or that they would bottle their beers.

Nov 7, 2005 05 GCBC. Hazy copper color with a medium sized off-white head. Huge hoppy citrus and sweet orange aroma. Hoppy citrus and pine flavors running through the the whole flavor length with some caramel on the tail and a nice bitter finish. This beer should have taken best in show. Like their barley wine should have last year

Nov 6, 2005 I originally thought this was just the Double IPA I had from Copper Creek in the winter, but nope, it comes from a different base beer even. The hops are aggressive and perhaps a little on the harsh side. There’s a definite alcohol aspect to the aroma, but the bite is covered up by the tingling hops and malt in the flavor. There were some unusual parts to the aroma that I couldn’t place at the time, but the fact this came off the first running of a cream ale kind of explains it. I think the Double IPA was probably the better of the two beers.
