Aug 13, 2008 Bottled - GBBF2008. A hazy brown coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma is very hoppy. Good pine notes. Massively hoppy in the mouth, with a full creamy mouthfeel. Smooth and silky thanks to big malts. Very nice.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottled. Thanx oh6gdx. Hazy brown in color, minor bubbly head, lacings. The aroma is hoppy with a distinct presence of juniper berries. The flavor is malty, but mostly hoppy.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle at RBSG. Poured deep amber with a nice cap of beige head. The aroma picked up sweet caramel and toffee with some floral and fruity notes also present. The flavor had tart medium-skinned fruits accenting toffee, caramel, and even a little chocolate… spicy floral notes and a touch of cat pee provided heavy bitterness all around.. finished long with more of the floral. Nicely balanced on the palate with lots of Amarillo as advertised.. very good brew!

Aug 10, 2008 Updated: Aug 14, 2008Bottle. [thank you, skortila/caesar]
Pours dark golden with a coppery edge. A big, frothy, off-white head. Big bubbles in the head, disappears rather fast. Lacing in big blotches. Aroma is soft, vinious, grassy with some fruity hops notes. Fine mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Flavour is wonderuflly bitter, grassy, a bit of yeast, some exotic fruits and a very dry finish. Good IIPA, but the ’old’ version i superior.

Aug 10, 2008 750ml bottle thanks to SS. Poured a cloudy gold in color with a large white head with great lacing. Aroma is really quite floral, Amarillo hops, and yeasty. Tastes of citrus and floral hops, bready yeast, with an underlying sweet malt base. Overall fruity, hoppy and very nice.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle sample at RBSG ’08. Pours with a cloudy, golden-orange body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s hoppy and floral with some malty sweetness and a light spiciness. Medium bodied, dry and smooth.
