(Handbottle 65 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Fat, sweetish aroma of malt and peachy hops. Quite full-bodied, very sweet caramel and a fairly bitter finish. A bit too much on the sweet side. 190408

Oct 13, 2008 Pours an orange-gold flavor with a frothy off white head. Floral citrus aroma. Full body, hoppy, malty flavor with a hint of sweetness. One of my favorite IPAs

Oct 4, 2008 Nice IPA... Strong hop flavor with a nice body. Not my favorite but it was good and I would certainly have it again.

Sep 25, 2008 on tap at the Flying Saucer in Raleigh and again the next night at Tyler’s in Durham. was told this had not been on tap in a while, so assume my pints were from pretty fresh kegs. poured a mostly clear, orangey-dark amber with a one finger white head leaving a great looking silky lace on the sides of the glass. aroma was slightly floral, but had plenty of citrus and pine notes and a touch of earthy grain. flavor was a well balanced mix of citrus sweetness up front, followed by the caramel sweetness and finishing with lingering pine resin bitterness. this was not the hop bomb of a IIPA which have become so common. if not for the 9.5% abv, which was well hidden btw, this would be very sessionable. a very enjoyable beer!

Sep 14, 2008 Tap at some bar in Durham.
Not nearly the standout that the Total Eclipse stout was, this is a rather run-of-the-mill IIPA, fruity, grapefruit pith, a bit sweet. Alright.
