Dec 15, 2009 22oz bottle. Small to average head settles into good lacing. Cloudless amber/orange body. Cedar and apricot on the nose. Roasted malt? Well balanced maltiness to hoppiness. Hops are pine and citrus. Alcohol is there, but doesn’t burn. Nice finish.

Dec 15, 2009 On tap at Pizzeria Paradiso in Georgetown. Pours light amber with creamy white head. Taste was stale IPA - lots of nuttiness. I still enjoyed this beer though, just wish it was more fresh.

Dec 14, 2009 Orangish golden pour with robust white head. Nose is intense PNW hops. Big sweet caramel malt base alongside the pine, grapefruit, and resinous attack. Very, very dry bitterness in the lingering finish. Alcohol pretty well hidden, until the lingering warming begins to seep upwards from the stomach. Very nicely brewed.

Dec 13, 2009 22oz bottle, purchased locally. Piney, citrusy nose with some tropical fruits and some wildflower honey. Light golden orange color with a persistent off-white, one fingered head. Resiny, piney flavor with some orange and tangerines. Some residual sweetness that tames the strong bitterness somewhat. There is a slight burn in the end but I am not sure if it is alcohol or bitterness or both. Overall this is an average IIPA, but enjoyable nevertheless. It is certainly nice to have several IIPA’s to choose from here in town when not too long ago there were hardly any.

Dec 13, 2009 Draught at Spuyten Duyvil, New York
Hazy light amber color; creamy head. Very nice aroma, citrusy hops and lemon peel. It has a good toffee flavor, with some residual sweetness, giving a creamy feeling; strong hopping, soft and citrusy resins; in the end the bitterness is aggressive, just a bit too much, and this lowers the score. Powerful, obvious Californian hoppy Ale, with a more original lemon profile, appreciated.

Dec 12, 2009 Golden orange color. Extremely hoppy and sweet aroma with minimal head. Spicy orange malty taste with strong bitter bite. Chewy and alcohol is well disguised.
