Aug 28, 2007 Tasted during of a sampling of 6 IPAs and this one stood out. Not because it was the best but because it tasted so un-IPAish. There was a sweetness to the aroma and taste that I assume is a result of using Rye. The color is a nice amber the head is off white. I really liked this beer just not as an IIPA. I will definately have more.

Aug 16, 2007 22 oz. Brown IIPA w/ a light nose yet intense mouthfeel. The rye is very obvious, more so to me than the hops or alcohol. Flavors are intense and even spicy?? at times. Sort of lacks the drink-ability & thirst quenching nature of most but Really breaks the IIPA mold. Its a great beer.

Aug 16, 2007 Bottled in a tulip. I don’t know. It has a very interesting footprint. It starts off smooth and nondescript but ends with a hoppy finish. I really like this beer at first but as it warmed up the bitter finish lost it’s nice hoppy bitterness and was replaced with a bile bitterness. I was less and less impressed with this beer as it warmed. This is still one of the more dynamic He’Brew brews but it fell short of satisfaction in the long run. Long live Lenny Bruce!

Aug 14, 2007 My what a flavor! A bit bolder than I expected. Maybe the appearance should have tipped my off. Sweet bitter aftertaste found me tipping my hat to another great I2PA.

Aug 10, 2007 Pours sparkling dark amber with a rocky off-white head. Aroma is nice and complex... pine, resin, lemons, and esters of banana, bubble gum, dark fruit and apple. Flavor however is balanced twards bitter, but way to much alchol HOT alcohol in the flavor, couldnt really pull other flavors out of it. Medium to full bodied, creamy and softly carbonated. Heavy Alcohol.

Aug 9, 2007 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts, floral and citrus hops, rye, and slight hint of alcohol. Flavor starts off kind of sweet with caramel and sweet malts that give way to the rye and floral and citrus hops. Has a bitter finish with some alcohol warming. Not as hoppy as I was expecting but still a pretty decent brew.
