May 18, 2009 Sampled from bottle. Pours dark gold with a nice fluffy head. Aroma is full of hops, forwarding soap and floral notes. Flavor starts crisp, hop-fruity, and finishes with a clean bitterness. Well brewed, no alcohol trace.

May 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy brown with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, applesauce, cinnamon, and malt. Flavor of grassy hops and sweet caramel malt. Also an odd malty flavor I can’t quite identify. Some old socks present too. Not very hoppy for a IIPA, definitely malt-dominated. Just ok, but weak for a IIPA and not to style at all.

May 10, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of citrus, perfume, maybe just a touch of pine, some caramel malt behind. Flavor actually quite piney with an accompanying citrus hint and nutty malt notes. Mild grapefruit seed astringency. Despite a bunch of sweet malt, could use a bit more body or something. Something about this beer reminds me quite viscerally of the gym balcony of my middle school where a few old weightlifting machines resided.

May 10, 2009 Draft at Sunset Grill. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was off white and left some lace behind on the glass. Smelled of subdued caramel and a whiff of citrus. Light to medium bodied with carbonation on the lower end of the spectrum. Only minimal bitterness with light pine and caramel flavors. Understated overall, but decent.

Apr 8, 2009 Bottle. McNeills now calls this "War Lord Imperial IPA". Don’t know if the recipe has changed. Powerful citrus aroma, along with a strong touch of caramel sweetness. Orange body, off-white head. Flavor is extremely bitter, in a pleasing way. An in your face, pucker your cheeks bitterness. Long bitter finish. Excellent!

Feb 17, 2009 [1812-20081022] 1pt6floz bottle. Sweet heathery rose malt aroma with toasted hops. Hazy, dark orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Roase and sweet toasted malt flavour has nice floral hops and some hidden booze. Medium body is a little bitter. Solid, quite drinkable.
Overheard: "The nose is not exactly running through a hop field."
