Nov 30, 2008 Cask sample at WBG Cask Fest 2006. Dark amberish red tones and a nice big head. DIPA resiny pine all over the nose. Huge grapefruityish body with faint malt hints and nothing but hops into the end from there. Even though it seems a bit flatter than it would be on a regular tap, it was still what I would call potent. Yum.

Oct 3, 2007 On tap at Brouwers. In terms of hoppy aroma, this might have been the best smelling beer I have ever encountered. Woody, piney, earthy, perfumey, floral, citrus. Pretty much every aroma a hop can give out was there. It was intense as well. Poured a yellowish orange that was pretty hazy. Flavor is super bitter with discernible woody and earthy notes. Hardly any malt, probably some for body. For how bitter is was, it was very smooth. I thought this was amazing!

Sep 18, 2007 Tap at Brouwers Hopfest Sept ’07
Pours relatively pale gold with a fine white head. Lemon and grapefruit aroma, marvelous leafy hops. Flavor is very dry with eucalyptus herbal flavors. This one is all about hte hops, a long, uber-dry finish, deeply resinous. There’s no malt here to distract anyone, but it’s really nice! Relatively light mouthfeel. I could drink this one in reasonable volume.

Sep 1, 2007 Tasted on tap at the 10th Annual Bistro IPA Festival. This IPA pours a cloudy yellow gold color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is citrusy and floral, a touch sweet. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are citrusy and grapefruity. Nice balance. Crisp and clean. Medium to high on the bitterness scale. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is bitter.

Oct 19, 2006 Had at Brouwers Cafe. Small, creamy, off-white head. Not much in the way of an aroma, especially for a DIPA. As the name implies and has described by the waiter, there is a big, long, lingering aftertaste. There is decent amount of carbonation. Not really sure about the aftertaste thing, though.
