Nov 24, 2006 22 oz. bottle via trade with lukin013 - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a good size off white head. Light, clumpy lacing. Has a citrus and slight vinous aroma. Has a bitter sweet flavor. Can’t quite figure it out. Medium body. I think this beer is headed down hill. Probably at its best right off the bottling line. Thanks Jon.

Nov 21, 2006 Pours orange and hazy with a white head. Smells of light citrus and sweet messy spice. Tastes of caramel, some bitter hops and a decent full mouthfeel. Finish is earthy. Not a typical IIPA, but a good beer.

Nov 4, 2006 Bomber from a friend in MA. 2005 bomber tasted Nov ’06.
Pours a deep hazy gold with strong lacing and a moderate white head. The aroma is citrus and pine hops with plenty of peach running through. The flavor is a strong herbal hops with plenty of citrus, again some peach and maybe a hint of pineapple, and unfortunately, considerable alcohol. Likewise, the mouthfeel is quite hot. On the positive side, this is not a candy IIPA at all; it’s got a strong bitter and herbal hoppiness that is cut but never covered by the malts, leading into a very bitter hop oil finish on the long end (which is a plus in my book).
