Oct 15, 2008 22oz from IowaHerkeye (thanks Joey). Wow, this is good. Greant hop nose that really follows through. Nice body to hold up to the hops, pine and grapefuit mix. Nice blend (reminds me of Summit hops). Really like this beer, a must get for the IPA fans.

Oct 15, 2008 Bottle acquired via trade with explosivebeer...Brandon, you ROCK, my friend!!! Vibrant copper pour produces a frothy eggshell head and significant lacing. Extremely fragrant; floral, resinous, and citrusy. It definitely woke me up!!! Bold orange, grapefruit, and tangerine start this one out. Ponderosa pine and lemongrass in the midpalate, but finishes with a nice caramel sweetness. Oily mourthfeel with lingering pine. This one impressed!!!!

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Amber pour with a thin white head. Aroma is citrusy, and resinous / earthy. Sweet malt and citrus in the initial flavor, with a pretty decent amount of resinous hops also. Medium-high amount of bitterness. Oily mouthfeel and finish.

Sep 29, 2008 Sample at J Gumbos Aug 2008 Indy tasting - Aroma of flowery hops and caramel malt. Flavor is more citrus but still flowery hops. Caramel and cardboard (age?). Palate is tart. Tasty, but pales at a tasting with so many other great DIPA’s.

Sep 22, 2008 22oz bottle, no date from <i>Bottle Barn</i>. Clear medium gold with a one finger off-white head, fading to a thin film and thick ring. Wonderful nose of citrus, resiny pine, juicy pineapple, and grassy hops. Cotton candy and clean cystal malts make up the background, but the hops truly shine here. Flavor is a bit more pine than the aroma led on, but it still has plenty of the aforementioned aromas as well. Bitterness peaked at a 6-7 in the semi-dry finish. Light warming alcohol is present in the back of my throat. Full body with moderate carbonation.Glad I got a fresh bottle--this was awesome! Also, it was 1/2 the price of Dreadnaught, and damn fine. 3F you anger me!
