CelticBrew (502), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Oct 26, 2006 Poured out of 12 oz bottle a medium Amber, smell of light hops and malt. Had a medium sized beige head that sparkled with delight. The first sip was of PURE heaven! Caramel, honey and citrus! Of extreme smoothness at the end that could make this a beermans essential brew. This is the absolutley finest pale ale I have ever experienced. This product puts the mega brewers of America to shame! The smoothness hides the alocohol which can sneak up on you, but is so pleasurable. This is a must stay in ones fridge. For those that have not had the priveledge to experience this beer, God bless you and may someone have mercy upon you to share in this wonderful liquid of Gods delight!
DandyWolfFloyd (254), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 9, 2008 Hops are bursting forth with plenty of resinous oil and more pine than citrus. The appearance is a medium copper off white head, with great initial head retention. Great silk stockings down the glass. It’s flavor is full of pine, some citrus, some alcohol, w/ a taste that reminds you of the way nail polish smells very sharp. It’s smacks of alcohol, not at all a session, very potent, and to be honest I felt like it was less balanced than the 120 or the 60 minute brews. Edgekrusher (58), , Alabama, USA Oct 8, 2008 Pours orange in color with a solid head . Hops dominate the aroma. Plenty of hops to share in this bad boy. The alcohol is barely noticeable until you finish a couple and stand up. tarheels86 (39), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Oct 8, 2008 I was a little disappointed in this. Pours a light golden color with a big fluffy, white head. Aroma is citrus, hops, and caramel. Body is actually not very bitter at all- very creamy, sweet, and smooth. The alcohol here really dominates over the hops. Very oily on the palate as well. I really prefer the 60 Min IPA to this. As for imperial IPAs, I would stick to Stone Ruination. This is too expensive and the extra gravity and alcohol really takes away from what I believe is a perfect beer in the 60 Min IPA. 120 Min....now that is just insane.
armando629 (434), Budapest, Hungary Oct 7, 2008 I’ve bought it in Amsterdam, Cracked Kettle. Nice amber-copper color with a lacing creamy head. Caramel, some roasted perfume and hop resin in the rich nose. Oily texture, smooth and balanced mouthfeel with a fantastic hop flavor, caramel malt and citrus tastes. The aftertaste is nice and hopfull and complex too. Delicious, fine, exciting! Please give me more beers like that! heynik1885 (28), tonawanda, New York, USA Oct 5, 2008 Awesome light golden copper color, with a big fluffly off white head that seems to never go away. lots of lacing on glass. Nice earthy smell, bit of carmel and alot of hops. Nice bitter taste of hops and citrus with a raisiney finish.
