Nov 18, 2009 750ml from Half Time, Poughkeepsie. Very nice pour, a buoyant head sitting atop a deep gold body with sticky retention. A considerable amount of honey and flowers in the nose, along with aromatic hops and a soft biscuity malt presence. The palate is thick and a tad oily, but is smooth and drinkable. The flavor, too, is full and a bit heady, with the sweet honeyed qualities playing nice with the dry yeasty and hoppy bits. Very fresh tasting and drinkable, a nice entry.

Nov 15, 2009 Pours deep gold into a snifter. Bright white head slowly recedes to skim surface. Grapefruit aromas. Sweet full honey and grass upfront turning to a lasting bitter grapefruit finish. No hint of abv save a slight warming.

Nov 6, 2009 A milky golden IPA with a thin white head. A pleasant mix of hops, floral and pungeant, and wild honey, clover, and grassy notes. In mouth, a very smooth imperial IPA, with lingering herbal bitterness, good citrusy hops attack, not overwhelmig, light honey notes and warming alcohol. Cask at Syracuse Real Ale Festival, Oct. 23 2009.

Oct 17, 2009 Medium sized tan head with good retention and lace. Lightly hazy amber copper color. Gentle floral, spicey hop nose and faint honey notes. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation, lightly oily and resiny. Non aggressive hoppy flavors, floral, spicey, with notes of caramel, grass and faint vinous notes, honey? Fairly dry finish with an ok hop bite. Props to coldbrewky for the bottle, thanks steve!

Oct 10, 2009 Bottle shared by sloth at SL. Pour was amber with a decent initial head. The aroma was all hoppy with some floral notes and tea bags detectable. Flavor followed, firm malt backbone, perhaps caramel most notable, mouthfull of hops, floral most prominent, some tea bags also present here, somewhat unfortunately. However, backed by the fairly big body, this was an enjoyable brew. Fresher is better, perhaps incredible on draft?
