Nov 24, 2009 Pours deep amber into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention slowly recedes leaving spot lacing. Orange and plum metallic aromas. Flat grass upfront turning to sour spruce in the lasting finish.

Nov 24, 2009 Poured mostly clear and copper. The head was average size and white and produced above average lacing. The aroma was grassy, earthy hops with a bit of pine and some sugary sweetness. The flavor was pine and grass mostly with plenty of sugary malts giving it balance. Almost medium bodied mouthfeel. Serviceable.

Oct 28, 2009 12 oz - The Wine Source. Dark copper, off white creamy head. Dried buttery citrus and spruce aromas warm to a light toffee raisin undercurrent. Dry citric-pine bitterness is nicely balanced on a buttery toast and toffee-like tone. Full bodied, soft carbonation, drying bitter finish. English in style, but I personally prefer West Coast style DIPAs...

Oct 9, 2009 Bottle thanks to dkachur. Pours clear dark amber with a thick one finger tan head. The nose is bubblegum, tangerine and apricot. The taste is more bubblegum, earthy hops, caramel and resin in the finish. Medium mouthfeel. Decent DIPA. A bit sweeter than I’d prefer, but still tasty. Thanks for sending this Dan!

Oct 7, 2009 Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a a thin, stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly caramely sweet malt and some orange citrus hops. Starts with decent malty fullness and fine carbonation with a resiny earthy hop bitterness before a drier bittersweet finish. An ok imperial IPA, but could use a more floral hop presence and balance.

Sep 15, 2009 A pretty solid imperial IPA. I’m a sucker for big beers, but I must admit that this was not the absolute best imperial IPA I’ve ever had. Still, though, pretty damn good and quite big. Nice copper color, rich aroma of hops. Tasted complex and hoppy with a mild dose of malt. Had that nice lip-smacking quality that good IPAs have. Finished qutite smooth. A good rendition here.
