Jun 10, 2009 Pours a hazy orange bronze with a well-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of fresh resiny citrusy hops and some sweet caramely malt along with a touch of fruity esters. Starts with good malty fullness and well-balanced with fresh grapefruity hops and a touch of citric tartness. Has good complexity and hides its alcohol well. A more malt-heavy IIPA, but certainly enjoyable.

Oct 21, 2009 bottle. syrupy and sugary, no surprise, but at least somewhat clean in the malt department. sticky and syrupy body, heavy and weighty. honey and pine, some light citrus, light solvent notes. clean and simple, while not excellent it’s thankfully drinkable.

May 18, 2009 A thick appearing liquid, hazy dark golden to amber in color. Moderate, but stable heavy cream colored head. Grapefruit and juicyfruit aromas. Bits of toffee and resin. Thick and chewy. Husky malt and white grapefruit flavors. Resin floats in and out. Really thick. Finish is a bit grassy. Alcohol comes out a touch along with some more husky grain in the linger. Nearly a meal in itself.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle: Pours a hazy orange color with a white head. The nose is sweet and hoppy with lots of earthy notes, alcohol and syrupy maltiness. The flavor shows a lot of promise in the bitterness department but the large body overpowers this and it seems a little middle-of-the-road for a IIPA. I had high hopes for this one, being one of their highest gravity beers to date. Sweeter finish and a thick overall impression.
