Oct 22, 2008 Aroma is ful of intense Pacific Northwest hops, and some acetone-like alcohol. It’s appearance is a deep brownish gold, with a nice white head, that fades into a thin head, nice legs running down the glass. It’s flavor is full and spicy, nice hop and medium malt balance, with some hidden fruit. It’s assertive and yet a pleasant finish, a little too bitter remaining on the tongue, but a very fine IPA.

Oct 7, 2008 In short: A tasty but kind of messy fluffy spicy IPA
How: Bottle 12oz, drank fresh soon after purchase
The look: Clear golden topped by a medium beige head
In long: Nose is spicy/peppery. Taste has grainy malts, foamy caramel and dry crouton. For an apparently filtered beer this one sure felt fluffy. I don’t think the beer is spiced but it felt very peppery with a tickling spicy sensation. Medium-strong bitterness. The beer is kind of “off” but it is not offensive and it is tasty, one thing for sure this is not bland IPA. Overall so-so. Description says “A complex and artistically balanced multi-layered IPA”. Mixing art and beer doesn’t make the best IPA, even if mixing art and pot makes the best music.

Oct 6, 2008 Orange pour with a thick gooey head and lace. Very citrus, malt, and fruit aroma. Apple flavor, semi sweet malt on the front with a medium/hard bitter finish. A bit foamy but pretty solid. If hop bitter on the finish is you this is your beer.

Sep 16, 2008 Bottle: Not a bad flavor and palate of citrus and hops, but really kind of weak overall. The hops flavor was a little off.

Jul 9, 2008 12oz bottle: Dull amber pour with a thick white head with staying power. The aroma is a soppy mess of diacetyl, soggy grain, dull cascades and ether. Yikes. Some caramel and toffee notes join the cluttered body. Leaves a flat rindy citrus note on the tongue. Not much to say here - the bottle came straight from Ithaca, so it shouldn’t be very old. Very flat and grainy.

Jun 12, 2008 bottle from the
"Family Jewels" mixpack, A nice honey aroma with a bit of hops. The taste is a great blend of hops and some spiciness. Delicious would buy again
