Oct 15, 2009 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a clear dark orange with a fat off-white head with big bubbles and decent lacing rings. Nose of citrus and floral hops. Smooth and slick mouthfeel. Flavor shows the alcohol, with some pine notes to go with the citrus and flowers. Seriously bitter but in a nice way. Finish is long and bitter as well. A very well make and enjoyable IIPA.

Oct 10, 2009 On draft at Teresa’s. Poured amber with an eggshell color head that left rings of lace. Big and malty and what seemed like some rye qualities coming through. Resinous, piney flavor. Some warming alcohol noticeable at the finish. A solid IIPA.

Oct 6, 2009 22 oz. bottle served in shaker (from Liquid Solutions)- poured a slightly turbid and hazy darkened copper color, low carbonation, foamy and frothy white head one finger thick formed and laced very nicely. Aroma of faint floral hops, caramel malt, and faint sweetness. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, malt is very sweet and has alot of texture, holds up very well in the middle, finish has still has some hop bite, lingers, and you can’t taste the alcohol at all. Obviously an old bottle, but still very good. Would love to try a fresh bottle sometime down the line!

Sep 30, 2009 This has a really funky flavor to it. Tap at Brouwer’s. Pours like a normal big IPA - transparent orange, with a smallish head. There’s a ton of something in this - tastes a bit like rye. Some type of grain. Doesn’t taste anywhere near 10% - it gets some kudos for that - but the strength of that toasted grain note actually overpowers the hops. Good. Not great.

Sep 28, 2009 22 oz bottle thanks to ditmier. Sweet pine and citrus aroma with a bit of bubblegum scent. Hazy orange/amber with a creamy foamy off white head. The taste is sweet with ample bitterness and there is almost no alcohol flavor. Creamy thick mouth feel with average carbonation to lighten the body up a bit. This is a unique IIPA, is there lactose sugar in this?

Aug 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy copper orange in color. Aroma is fruity and hoppy. Strong earth tones. Tasting picks up pine notes, grapefruit notes, earthy grassy notes, and a sweet caramel note. This beer packs a bitter punch that is phenomenal.
