Dec 10, 2008 Bottle. Clear orange/amber with a viscous tan head, nice lacing. Big citrusy orange and grapefruit aroma with light sherry oxidation. Smooth medium body with soft carbonation. Big flavors of bitter citrus hops meshed with a caramel and light pit fruit sweetness. Nice spicy alcohol twang adds warmth in the finish. A great fireside sipper.

Oct 12, 2008 Updated: Oct 20, 2008Pours a deep, slightly hazy amber with a big fluffy white head that shows great retention and sheets of lacing down the glass.
The aroma is a massive juicy sweet hop explosion. Grapefruit and pine play major roles with some sweet caramel maltiness in the background.
The pine hops are prevalent up front in the taste and give way to a sizable caramel malt base. The citrus hops kick in after the malts and leave a nice sticky finish with a pleasant bitterness.
Mouthfeel is smooth but sticky with hop resin with just the right amount of bitterness.
A nice IIPA with great balance of big resiny hops and malts. A great start to my seven deadly sins experience and I’m eagerly anticipating the rest.

Sep 20, 2008 thanks to bitbucket tasting. Amber w/ medium head. Big beer w/ lots of piney hops and medium sweet malts coming through. I prefer my 2IPAs less resiny, but I still really enjoyed this.

Aug 5, 2008 22, capped. Thanks, Derkruk! Pours cloudy copper with a lacy off-white head. Aroma of apricots, grapefruit, pine. Medium body, taste of citrus and pine. Pine resin finish with a dash of soap. Could stand a bit more body to balance out the pine.
