Nov 18, 2009 12 oz. bottle aquired in trade from daknole- thank you! Served in shaker- poured an ever so slightly murky darkened copper color, medium carbonation, wafer thin white head atop the liquid surface- very still, but had several frog eyes. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, various hard citrus, and some zest of lemon. Hits the mouth with high-medium body, malt has a ring of caramel, hops come crashing in- holds up well in the middle, finish has a little acidity with some lingering. May be a little slightly older bottle, but still very good!

Oct 20, 2009 On cask @ Stoudts. Amber with a dense off white head. Sweet aroma of citrus, pine, caramel and toffee. The flavor starts sweet then the bitterness fades in and then the beer finishes sweet. Medium body, on cask so the carbonation was very mild, and a syrupy mouth feel. A bit sweet for me but still a solid IIPA.

Oct 17, 2009 This, to me, is what an American IPA should be. Aromas of floral hops and malt with a hint of bread. On the pour it is a nice hazy gold color with a thick soapy head that sticks around and to the pint. Very smooth palate with wonderful citrus hops, sweet malt , and slight alcohol burn. A lucky find by my wonderful wife. We will buy this brew again......nice job Stoudts!

Oct 9, 2009 Has a bitter sweet taste. The 10.6% ABV suggests that it has some bite to it, but it’s rather enjoyable. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Oct 6, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Triangle Plaza, Raleigh, NC. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Hoppy floral and citrus hop aroma with a bit of nuttiness and caramel. Taste is toffee, caramel with citrus and floral hop notes. For a DIPA I would like more bitterness. Faint alcohol notes. Medium bodied. Decent beer.
