Pours clear amber from the 12oz. bottle: Nose is hops (IPA style): earthy, grassy, citrusy, and floral. Flavors are similar, but with added caramel, brown sugar, and maybe some molasses. Oily with medium carbonation. The bitterness in this beer is right on. Drinkability: Moderate bitter with heavy hops. Pretty solid. Rebuy: Yes. #186 on 05112009, DG.

Dec 17, 2009 Tap at Ginger Man, NYC. Pours a deep, glowing orange with a fine white head. Nose is heavy on the hops, piney and ctirusy. Flavor follows along those lines, with some caramel, malty sweetness and hints of candy and dark fruits like raisins and figs. Medium bodied and pretty alcholic, the beer feels quite nice, what with the warming sensations. Very solid.

Dec 12, 2009 Bottle 0,355 l. Clear copper, smallish white head with some lace. Nose has some nice caramel, candy, grassy hops and some earthiness. Flavor is floral, candyish and a bit earthy with a bit of artificial touch and some alcohol naturally. The body is not as big as it could and actually it’s not that extreme. Goes down amazingly well for such high abv, much easier drinking than many lower alcs. Pretty good, but too strong to be really enjoyable.

Dec 8, 2009 Half a 12 ounce bottle in snifter. Vintage 2008. Golden orange with ring and some lace. Pine orange biscuit yeast alcohol aroma. Toasted biscuit orange marmalade tobacco with assertive bitter piney hop finish and lingering alcohol flavor and heat. Altogether not bad but too strong. Alcohol is not a good flavor.
