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...

Flavor: Somewhat sweet up-front with a moderately long, bitter finish

Overall Impression:
Not the best DIPA I’ve ever had, but it is a solid beer. It could use some work to make it really good, but as is, it is pretty solid.

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.
