Oct 8, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to FlacoAlto. Lots of carmel and hop aromas. Citrus and mango too. Flavors were toned down a bit like a finely aged IPA. Good Stuff.

Oct 5, 2008 Updated: Oct 20, 200812 oz bottle courtesy of fordest. Pours a copper color with a small white head. The aroma is caramel and pine. The taste is hoppy, but not particularly biter, filling in the sides are mangoes, apricots and persimmons. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long with lingering pine. Overall: A very drinkable subtle IPA, but not the monster that the name suggests.

Sep 29, 2008 Pours out a dark mahogany color with a thick white head with a ton of stickyness. The smell is of a ton of hops with a lot of light malts right there with it. The hops come through mostly in the taste, but the malts linger in your mouth a little longer. Reminds me of a bizzaro Lagunitas Lucky 13, where I got the malts first, then the hops. Overall, a really good hoppy amber.
