Jun 17, 2008 Thanks to xnoxhatex for sharing. The body was dark gold with a white colored head. At first you get the obvious grapefruit. Then, behind that, there is a little bit of funk and apples. The taste was straight ahead grapefruit with some almonds. A fairly dry finish.

Jun 16, 2008 12oz bottle from homebrew mystery swap. Clear amber with small white head. Aroma is fruity hoppy, a little caramel, a little dough, a lot of citrus hops, some pine, pretty enjoyable. Citrus flavor resin hops with some pine and caramel and dough, grass, all around pretty nice. Medium body and a little syrupy, but not bad. Overall a very a nicebeer but a little bit too aged.

Jun 1, 2008 330 ml. found at Premiere Gourmet.A hoppy beer, was not sure what hops used, but leafy taste. Even a tad of wintermint. Not a bad double IPA, short of being a hop bomb and well malted. Just very hoppy.Carbonation was a bit high, this would be interesting on cask. bee-aye #2901.

May 31, 2008 Starts off with a strong vanilla-laden oak bomb with a relatively biscuity aftertaste that is dry with a nice heavy body. I sense the usual IPA suspects from the pine to grapefruit but with a rather organic grassy envelope surrounding it. Even though its well made, at times it seems a bit harsh and perfume-laden. I think they over did a hop (cascades maybe?). The aroma rocks! This reminds me of Cascazilla on roids. Bottle from NEPA spilt from Stef.

Apr 15, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear, very decidedly medium orange with a short cap of whitish head. The aroma was quite juicy with grapefruit and oranges leading the way.. some toffee was deeper, and grassy notes were evident with warmth.. smelled deceptively soft and approachable. The flavor was more aggressive, if my last comment wasn’t indicative enough.. unfortunately it was in the form of sticky, non-descript sweetness, alcohol, and lesser, but still unpleasant stale cardboard notes.. bitterness was moderate and citric in nature.. the stale notes stuck on the finish. Heavier-bodied and sticky on the palate with only OK balance. Not a good IIPA.

Mar 29, 2008 Poured amber with a thin off white head. Aroma was grassy with a bit of hops. flavor was slightly hoppy with grass, celery, and some off flavor I couldn’t figure out. Finished bitter, good carbonation. Meh.
