Oct 3, 2007 Hazy orange in color. Super sweet candy malt smell. Flavor is super sweet caramel malt. Hops are only present in the finish, as a floral dry bitterness comes in on the palate and resonates for a second. Very heavy too, and was harder to finish than most beers. Actually reminded me of a barley wine more so than an IIPA. Somewhat astringent. With how much I like their regular IPA, I would have expected much more from their IIPA. Guess not.

Sep 18, 2007 Tap at Brouwers Hopfest ’07
Pours burnt orange. Another typical west-coast IIPA. too sweet, too sticky, too heavy, too harsh, a bit too hot.
That said, it wasn’t too hard to finish the glass, so it ain’t all bad.

Sep 8, 2007 On Tap At Brouers
Modest soft sweet carmel aroma with a slight pine hop note.
Very nice creamy off white head.
Big sweet malty flavor. Sligthty over powering the hps. Nice bittering. Earthy piney IBUs that ust barley keep up.
Lively carbonation but a cra.y full feel.
All round very nice.

Sep 6, 2007 Tap. Amber body, small head, sweet nose. Hops come throuugh as bitterness, with minimal character in either hops or malt. Unimpressive example of the style.

Sep 5, 2007 Tap @ Mr. Goodbar. Super cloudy (yeasty looking) brown/orange. Lots of brown sugar in the nose - piney & slightly minty hops. Malt is well pronounced & rich - almost a bit of rye. A bit of candied orange. Flavor is rich caramel malt, slight butter, bitter but not extremely so. The hops that are there are piney & floral. no real fruit going on. Butterscotch & bitter finish. Somewhat reminiscent of their old ale.

Sep 5, 2007 draft- ehhh. Pretty weak in the flavor department. Not much citrus, or hop flavor of any kind. Just bitterness, some esters, then alcohol.

Aug 31, 2007 On tap @ Mister Goodbar Buffalo NY. Very malty & extremely tasty. If this is 8.5 you would never know. Hops sort of dominated by caramel malts. Not as hop dominated as most DIPA’s but tasty

Aug 29, 2007 this was accidently mixed into a six I bought of their 8-ball stout... so I figured ’what the hell’ even tho I dont normally like IPAs... this was one of the best IPAs I’ve ever had of the 10 or so that I’ve tried
