Feb 24, 2009 Purple waxed bomber shared at EBF. Pours an amber body with a tan head. Huge strong pine hop aroma, with a moderate caramel malt bill, some lighter citrus hoppiness and very bitter and dry over all with just a hint of alcohol warming.

Feb 21, 2009 This was either from NobelSquirrel or a trade at BA. Either way...thanks! Pours brown with a decent off white, foamy head. Aroma is floral, pine/citrus and very resiny. Flavor is bitter and fresh hops with nice malt backing. Very nice body and well balanced brew.

Feb 17, 2009 650 ml bottle from Noblesquirrel. This is the purple wax brewers whim series bottle. Pours a gorgeous red-amber that is slight cloudy. The head is beige and fine with fair retention and little lacing. The aroma is big and bold with citrus hops, resiny pine and a bit of grass. The taste is biter-sweet with green hops, pine, caramel and grapefruit. The mouthfeel is full, smooth and malty. The finish is long with lingering biter-sweet caramel. Overall: I was really blown away by this brew, a very nice IPA--well done Flossmoor, and thanks for this gem Brian.

Feb 13, 2009 22oz bottle purchased at flossmoor station... dark cloudy raisin brown with a thick/full off-white head... slightly bitter citrus hope and as sweet malt backbone in the aroma... slightly bitter citrus hops balance with with a more than adequate malt bill. mild to medium carbonation with a fluffy yet full mouthfeel. FS really puts out some nice IPAs!

Jan 25, 2009 Updated: Jan 26, 200922oz bottle. pours hazy light red with creamy off white head. nose is a juicy one, lots of hop resin, red fruit, and grassy. flavors of red fruit, grassy, juicy resiny hop flavor, caramel malt backbone. pretty thin body and rather low bitterness leaves this a watery on the palate.

Jan 25, 2009 mug club tapping at brewpub. hazy reddish color, tiny off white bubbles, nice lacing. the aroma is piny hoppy, citrus hoppy. flavor follows aroma, perhaps with a trace of armpit. medium bodied, bitter finish. supremely bitter, which is a plus, but not very complex either.

Jan 24, 2009 Why not a celebration for number 800? Draft at Flossmoor. Pours a nice dark coppery amber. In looking at the description now, I would have guessed Chinook and amarillo to be involved. The Cascades seem almost an afterthought, as they are easily overpowered by the other two. Nose is nice and resiny/pungent with some dank notes and a touch of piney cheese. Taste is very pleasing. Clean, no caramel notes but definite citrus and stone fruit. Well balanced and smooth. Pretty nice IPA.
