Jan 18, 2009 APPEARANCE:
Pours a clear copper color with a medium off-white head that has average retention. Lots of sticky lacing.
AROMA:
Powerful big earthy/citrusy hops, brown sugar, biscuit like malts. Hint of peach.
TASTE:
Rich sticky hops (grapefruit comes to mind) that is well balanced with caramel like sweet malts. You can also taste the alcohol.
MOUTHFEEL:
Full bodied creamy almost sticky mouthfeel. Soft carbonation.
DRINKABILITY:
Big flavor, yum! Very nice balance of bitter hops and sweet malts. This is a pretty rich beer so you can’t drink too many of them.

Jan 8, 2009 This poured amber to brown in color with a moderate head that fades quickly. The nose gives off aromas of citrus, caramel, red berries, orange pulp, malt and spice. In the mouth it was medium-bodied with good flavor concentrated and nice balance. The palate was smooth and rich with some lingering bitterness on the finish.

Jan 8, 2009 The pour is red hued, and a small dingy ring of bubbles makes up the head. The aroma is sweet hops, with some fruity/floral overtones. The flavor is exactly what the aroma leads you to expect, the hops are strong, the bitterness pervades the whole beer flavor. The finish is slow and flowery. A good beer, not a session beer, but very good.

Jan 6, 2009 On tap at The Roadhouse in Brookline, MA. The body is a translucent reddish brown with a tight pure white head. Nice light floral aroma that is crisp and light. Lovely up front hop taste that is full of citrus peels and sticky pollen. Bitterness is hidden well by a balanced light malt backbone that disguises the alcohol very well. Really drinks like a much lighter beer with all the flavors of most DIPAs.
