Aug 4, 2008 Draft @ Bel Air location. Very enjoyable although it could have been hoppier for an imperial ipa. Strong flavors of pine/citrus hops and alcohol warmth. Delicious hop aroma.

Mar 7, 2008 Thanks to Todd for the hand-bottled bomber! Poured clear medium orange with a nice short-lived cap of beige head. The aroma was juicy first and foremost.. alcohol-infused pine resin and citrus notes with a bit of cat pee.. lighter fruits and caramel provide a sweet backing.. a touch sharp, but quite good. The flavor was along the same lines.. light fruits and grapefruit meat at the core, surrounded by pine and a bunch of Amarillo presence.. the dry, resiny finish left bitterness and warmed the belly well. Thicker on the palate with just enough carbonation remaining.. this was well-balanced and I enjoyed the chosen hoppage.

Feb 23, 2008 12 oz handbottle. Clear amber with a frothy beige head. Nose of fresh orange and tangerine juice; very sweet like Jello powder. Medium body with soft carb; a bit oily. Taste is buttery toffee with a dry marmalade bite. Good balance but somewhat heavy.
