Feb 17, 2007 12 oz. bottle. I poured 6 ozs. for myself and 6 ozs. for my brother. citrus aroma. Orange murky color. Full body with a syrupy texture. Starts out very sweet. Finishes with an alcohol taste. Even after 6 ozs. I can feel it. Drink this in moderation.

Jan 27, 2007 2004 bottle. Pours orange amber with white head. Aroma is sweet and surprisingly malty. Flavor of very light pine hops, fruits (apricots were most prominent), and lots of sugary sweet malts. Very sherry-like. Alcohol is noticeable in the warmth but not in the flavor. I’m interested in tasting a current vintage though I don’t think I’ll like it nearly as much.

Jun 18, 2007 I have the pleasure of this beer twice so far, and it certainly doesn’t dissapoint. Its just one of those ones that you have to try. Alcohol is extremely well hidden. Mouthfeel is sticky. This beer comes at you in waves. There is an intrinsic sweetness that comes along with the alcohol. Oddly enough, the bitterness of the hops seems to go away with this. This is just one of those beers that you should close your eyes and sip to fully enjoy. Truly impressive.

Oct 25, 2006 Sweet and syrupy. I love how the sweetness balances out the extreme hops. Some think it is too strong, but I could drink this stuff all day.

Jul 28, 2007 Pours a dark amber with a small tan head. The aroma is complex - malt, hops and a definite hint of alcohol (imagine that!) along with some fizzy carbonation nose feel, almost a combination of champagne and beer. The first sip is amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it definitely wasn’t this. A rich, sweet malt flavor with a zing to the finish. I expected the hops to dominate, but they really play a supporting role to the malt. The combination of the two is like nothing I’ve had before, wonderful. I will definitely pick up another for aging.Also, other than the first wiff, the alcohol is barely noticeable until you start feeling tipsy towards the end of the glass.

Jan 30, 2007 Expected to have my mouth dried out, but this beer defies expectations. Almost liqueur-like. Syrupy pour, beautiful orange glow. Apples and citrus on the nose. Sweet hop flavor, no hop bitterness until the finish. I was feeling the alcohol by the time I was halfway through with it. Very good beer

Dec 4, 2007 Responsibly extreme hoppiness. Not just a hop bomb for the sake of shoving hops in a brew. Exquisite aroma upon opening bottle (floral hops, naturally!). Nearly orange color upon pour with a sexy foamy head. Aroma was balanced - gorgeous floral/citrus hops and a touch of malty notes. Flavor is exquisite. I enjoyed this with a plate of spicy buffalo chicken - the hoppy brew stood up well to the spiciness. This one dances on the palate and is a gem. I’m not an IPA lover, but this one is fabulous - no surprise that Dogfish aced this one.

Apr 24, 2007 Updated: Aug 7, 2007THis beer has such an intence smell to it with smells of strong pine and bitter malt. It has a cloudy orange color and the head fades very quickly. As you sip on it you taste strong tang and a lot of booze. There is also hints of hops, the bite very faint. Overall this is a really good IPA considering it is very boozy. The after taste is very sweet as you drink te beer it tends to be very smooth and the flavor is much like clove and citrus.
