Bottle, poured almost a reddish caramel with a quickly dissipating frothy head. The aroma is just incredible, dominated by hops but then you catch a sweet whiff of the malt and it just blends together to creat a magnificent sensation. The taste is at first hoppy and then you catch a hint of pine and then some malt and then the aftertaste is straight floral hops. To be honest I was a bit let down after the smell, not that the beer is by any means bad it just isn’t as good as it smelled. Still an incredible IPA. Would buy again

Oct 4, 2008 Muted copper pour with a thick off tan stable head. Hops, grapefruit, caramel corn and coriander aroma, very complex. I can taste the malt and hops. Upfront maltiness with a bit of chocolate, long citrus hop finish. Palate is a bit weak as no coating or thickening is noticed.
