Dec 9, 2009 Bomber. Hazy amber with medium frothy head. Aroma of piney and citrus hops, notes of caramel and slight sweetness. Taste opens up with a very faint burst of sweetness which then proceeds to become swallowed by an agressive hop bitterness backbone. Very dry overall, especially in finish.

Dec 9, 2009 Bottle at Volo. Pours a dark gold with moderate, lasting white head. Big green/resiny hoppy nose with distinct malt presence. Flavour follows suit. Solid body, decent bitter finish. Alcohol is not too apparent. Very good.

Nov 28, 2009 Bottle. Piney, resinous hop aroma. Nice looking beer. Copper and a little cloudy. Head is thick, creamy and long-lasting. Lots of lace. Very malty and hoppy taste. Malt has a caramel taste. Hops are very resinous and piney with some grapefruit notes. The 8.5% alcohol is masked very well. I thought it was very similar in taste to Phillips Amnesiac. Nice Double IPA.

Nov 27, 2009 Amber coloured with a small sticky off-white head. Aroma is the usuall suspect of american piney hops and sticky caramell. Flavour is similar but more full and delivers a rather nice floral and perfumey hop flavour that melds nicely with the sticky and almost chewy caramell. Ends rather bitter with a small lingering caramell sweetness. Straight forward but tasty.

Nov 22, 2009 Pours hazy orange from the 22oz. bottle in a pint glass with a piece of my dead dog’s hair floating around inside the glass (nasty...but I’m not about to throw any beer away): Nose is caramel malted, resiny hops, earthy/grassy (earassy), and honey. Citrus orange peels in the taste, pine cones, juniper, and maybe some bark. Drinkability: Ultra hopped. Ultra Legend... wait for it and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the second part of that word is Dary. Legendary. Rebuy: Yes. #212 on 22112009, DG.

Nov 20, 2009 Comes out of the bottle a slightly hazy dark amber with a fairly thick and frothy white head. Aroma is strongly hoppy and has a hint of lemon. Flavor is strong and quite hoppy, just a little bitter, very satisfying to an IPA lover like me. Texture is fairly smooth and just a little tingly. Worthy of a try, at the very least.

Nov 17, 2009 Shared bomber and poured in proper fashion to a snifter. The color was a deep, orangy amber, with a foamy, off white head, and clingy ribbons of lacing. The aroma was heavy citrus intertwined with heavy pine notes, and tempered by big malt. The flavor added to these a strong but firm hop bitterness and warming alcohol, flowing to a bitter, almost astringent, and dry finish. Extremely potent,...enough said!
