Apr 30, 2007 thanks nhorween. this was a surprisingly large letdown. not very much hops in the aroma, though it was plenty bitter. i dont remember why i didn’t really like it. the almost 10% alcohol was indeed hidden well.

Apr 29, 2007 Bottle. Yellowish pour with a white head. Aroma is sweet and muted and uncharacteristically unimpressive for the style. Flavor is there, but only scratches the surface of what it could be. Alcohol is well hidden. Drinkable, but not a repeat for me.

Apr 28, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a deep amber color with a small amount of beige head. Great hoppy aroma. The taste was a similar, but not quite up to par with the aroma. Not overly bitter, but that keeps it in balance. I also picked up some earthy notes in here. Some citrus and smoke as well. Pretty good, but not overly impressive.

Apr 21, 2007 (750ml) I’ve never seen my ratings so close to Oakes - I’m rubbin off on the old sac. Foamy almond head with a deep orange body. Nose of candied oranges, marmalade and seville oranges. Tart smoky and sweet - but unbalanced and under-whelming. Courtesy of gracious trader BeerandBlues2.

Apr 20, 2007 Hazy copper-amber colour. Big hop nose - melon, mango, pineapple, lime. Flavour is quite sweet but with abundant fruitiness from the hops. Finishes both syrupy and resiny...true to style I guess but not a combination that actually works.

Apr 17, 2007 750 mL bottle. Poured a hazy orange color. Head was off white with good retention and lacing. Caramel and biscuit malt dominated aroma with grapefruity hops coming in a close second. And then there was the whiff of alcohol. Maybe a bit more than a whiff. Resiny, sticky and slightly sweet on the tongue. Equally balanced malt, citrus hop, and alcohol flavors with tempered hop bitterness.

Apr 10, 2007 Some bitter hops, some pine notes. Sweet and almost caramel like on the finish. All in all a pretty good IPA, but even coming off of a 2 month craft beer break like me it really isn’t that impressive. This isn’t as strong as I like my double ipas. I was really hoping for a hop monster, and this beer really didn’t come through for me. Like I said before, pretty quality beer, but not good enough for the price or for me to try again.
