Jun 25, 2008 On tap sample at Jupiter: Dull yellow and a bit cloudy, without head, standard carbonation.
Promising hop aroma (spruce) but flavor is not so much well-rounded as unfocused and flat.

Feb 16, 2008 On tap @ Bistro 8th Annual DIPA Fest poured a clear copper with a lasting amber head. Aromas of orange, grapefruit, light pine and a hint of earthiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp with a dry fin ish. Flavors of grapefruit rind, orange, light pine and a hint of earthiness with a lingering bitter finish.

Feb 12, 2008 Tap @ Bistro’s 8th Annual IIPA Fest. The beer poured a hazed amber color with an off-white head. The aroma while kind of complex was not typical of an IIPA or at least the west coast style. Floral, spice, earth, and even hints of smoke ride on top of the caramel base. Sweet caramel flavor with floral and spicy hop notes. Medium bodied with a crisp mouthfeel. Not my style.
