Growler shared by crizay. Thanks dude! Pour is a nice hazy gold with a fluffy white head. I was told the head was really nice just after the growler was opened. Aroma of earthy, fresh hops and citrus. Wow! Flavor is really good...suprised me a bit. Soft, clean bitterness and good malt balance. Very full mouthfeel. Creamy and smooth drinking. Excellent brew!

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle courtesy of inkubus27 (thanks TIm!). Pours a brown/orange with a thick white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is awesome, lots of pine and citrus hops. Flavor equals the aroma and then some. Nice citrus notes and and excellent hops/malt balance. The malt really holds up these hops. Not too heavy either. After having a few uber hoppy/mediocre IIPAs, this is the stuff!! Flossmoor really got this right! This competes with Stone Ruination and Avery Maharaja for my favorite IIPA.

Aug 27, 2008 22 oz. bottle, courtesy of kmweaver. Thanks, Ken! Dark amber gold, creamy white head. Thick hop aromas of grassy peach and earthy citric pine notes. Swirls of caramel become apparent at room temp. Bittersweet earthy hop flavors reign supreme throughout. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Good brew now, but fresh I’m guessing is the way to go on this one...

Aug 25, 2008 Bomber. Poured slightly hazy peachy-orange with a short cap of beige head. The aroma picked up thick doses of grapefruit, pine resin, and sweet caramel that were presented very well together.. some zesty orange and a bit of spicy alcohol on the back of the nose. The flavor found caramel and a touch of toffee at the core surrounded by orange, pine, and slight perfumey bitterness.. finished strong, but still balanced with lots of citrus and piney bitterness. Medium-plus bodied with a great resiny bitter feel throughout.. long finish with more hops. Great one!
