Nov 8, 2009 Color is a bright but hazy yellow-orange. Lots of carbonation. Finger of ice cream float head. A few layers of frosty, thick lace. Looks bright and awful inviting.
The aroma is equally giving off a smell of bitter alpha hops, as well as some dry pale malt. The aroma hangs above the glass. Slight citrus aroma, but more of a bitter pine.
Sweet malt is the initial taste, but it also has a lasting hop bitterness. As it warms, it mellows out. The hops are still bitter, but sting less. All the trappings of a nice -- strong but not extreme -- Imperial IPA. Much more than just a pale.
The feel is thick and creamy. It leaps off the tongue with mild carbonation. Overall it’s a nice, well-balanced Imperial IPA. Quite good.

Nov 7, 2009 On draught at Redlight Redlight (Orlando, FL): Pours a clear copper. Nose is faint, but I can sense earthy hops, grass, and citrus. Typical IPA flavors with added honey and caramel. Mild carbonation and medium bodied. This ale is lacking that bitter punch in the finish that I’m expecting, or more so wanting. Drinkability: Smooth and enjoyable, but a little boring. Rebuy: Maybe. #187 on 07112009, DG.

Nov 6, 2009 Gift from Greg, thought this would be like sierra nevada’s harvest, but really nice use of the "wet" hops. kind of weak aftertaste, but a really nice APA.
