Nov 15, 2006 Oh my goodness! What a bottle of ale. The aroma is "knock your socks off" freshly cut Christmas Tree!! Fantastic! Amber and fairly clear. I love this one because they don’t try to hide the alcohol with malt. This relies on the hops, and they are extraordinary. A nice pleasant bitter aftertaste. Powerful taste. At $18 a 4pak this should be special. And it is.

Nov 13, 2006 Bottle. (Thanks for the awesome bonus bottle Emily!) Bottled in November 05, according to the label. Pours a very hazy, cloudy orange/rusty amber color. The aroma, wow, very nice! Lots of citrus hops, grapefruit, mild malts, in a perfect blend. I must have sniffed at this for 10 minutes before actually tasting it. Flavor is very nice as well, loads of grapefruit, citrus, apricot, floral hops and touches of caramel, finishes sweet, and the alcohol is hidden very well. Very nice mouthfeel as well.

Nov 11, 2006 Bottle, strong grapefruit aroma with other citus notes. Orang amber color with off white head. Strong malt/hops flavor. Well balanced and thick. For the strong alcohol content there was no noticable alcoholic presence. Light sweetness moves across a citrusy sourness and into a bitter finish. Very good thick creamy mouthfeel. Very good overall.

Nov 8, 2006 12 oz bottle pours a ruby orange with a small beige head. Nice hop aroma (I thought specifically summit or simcoe): floral, piney, spicy, citrus, and malty. Smooth medium bodied mouthfeel rolled around on the tongue very nicely. Carmel, apricot, citrus, hop flavors that are balanced really well, not too bitter and very drinkable.

Nov 4, 2006 Updated: Mar 2, 2007Pours orange/yellow with a white head. At first drink it reminds me of DFH 90 minute. It is sickly sweet. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, floral with a bit of malt. Taste hits you up with the sweet orange, then pummels you with sweet grapefruit, pine and malt. Thick mouthfeel.

Oct 27, 2006 Smells a little malty. The taste is very malty and I love hoppy and malty beers. The hops are not really there. It does not have the hops to really say that it is a DIPA or Impy India. A good beer, but a little underwhelmed.

Oct 27, 2006 A very good beer. Not overwhelmingly hoppy, more sweet and syrupy than it is anything else. Tastes fantastic, do not get me wrong, but I would like a more bitter front or back end. It has a good hop flavor, but it is buried right in the middle of the beer and dissapates quickly.

Oct 22, 2006 brewtopia 10/21/06 Light amber/orange. Aroma is a huge amount of citrus hops. Taste is also huge, with tons of citrus, bitterness, and malt. Light alcohol in the finish, as well as a lingering bitterness. Alcohol hidden well.
