12oz bottle. Deep gold with a sticky head. Just a bit of sediment. Sweet malt, peach, candied grapefruit nose. Sweet light crystal malt, semi-dull west coast hopping with bitterness that just fails to cut the residual sugar. Minimal alcohol presence, with a full, chewy body, and modest carbonation. This is a bit clumsy with its malt sweetness, but manages alright.

Jan 6, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Clear orange color with about an eighth of an inch of white foam. Good carbonation. Aroma is sweet and floral with some hints of caramel and a lot of citrus and pine. Flavor is sweet and very floral with a lot of hops, pine, citrus, caramel, and some other unidentifiable sweetness. Finishes clean and smooth. Alcohol is very well hidden.

Jan 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear orange/gold color with a very thin, almost non-existent, off white head. Aroma of caramel and pine. Flavor of caramel and slight bit of grapefruit in the finish. This is a decent IIPA, but nothing to write home about.
Dorwart (1678), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA
Dec 29, 2008 Decent sized off-white head of fine bubbles. Minimal carbonation. Sweet caramel malt aroma, iced tea, roasted grains and a bit of bitterness. Slightly cloudy dark amber. Malty and bitter flavor with some more caramel and toffee. Some piney hops and grapefruit pith. Noticable alcohol content. Finishes bitter and a bit dry. A pretty good IIPA but nothing that really set it above the rest.

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle. Poured a hazy orange with a creamy off-white head that left light lace. Grapefruit aromas with caramel and a pine background. Very enjoyable hop/malt flavor of grapefruit and caramel. Medium body and medium bitterness throughout.
