Oct 21, 2008 Updated: Jan 5, 2009Bottle. Second time I’ve had this, first being before I started keeping notes, and I was delighted to pick up one just to rate, as I recalled this being quite delicious. And right I was. Pours a golden hazy color with a hefty white head, reminds me of a dark unfiltered wheat beer. Plentiful aromas of hops, citrus, fresh pine trees and a hint of apricot. Ample pineapple notes. Malty with a smooth mouth feel that ends with a big bitter hoppy finish that leaves me feeling like I’ll be picking up a few more of these 22s. Excellent beer. Re-rate with some notes from having this on gravity cask at the Beech Tree.

Oct 21, 2008 Medium copper pour with avg white head. Sweet pine and heater nose. Nice palate bring the entire mouth and nasal passage into play. Bitter, fried foods, citrus and malt - very well balanced.

Oct 19, 2008 Extremely hopped beer, prominently featuring the Nugget which might just be my favorite hop. Smells great with the typical pine and citrus aromas, but unlike many IPAs the base fruit taste is orange instead of grapefruit. Unique and delicious.

Oct 18, 2008 Cloudy orange pour with thin white head. Very hoppy and peppery/spicy aroma. Flavor is very bitter, hoppy, and displays a strong malt character. Bitter and dry finish. Hoppy character sticks around well after the beer leaves the palate. Amazing IPA.

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle. Straightforward double IPA with little depth. Light orange body. Thick, frothy, white head that diminishes. The aroma is mostly hoppy with notes of resin and rubber. Hints of toasted grain and bread dough. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic and moderately to heavily bitter. Medium to full body, smooth texture, sticky finish. Alcohol comes forward in the finish as the sweetness diminishes and the bitterness sticks around. Moderately acidic in the finish as well.
