Yellowy amber in colour with a medium head. Fruity aroma with grapefruit pineapple and herbal notes. Taste is slightly sweet with a mild resiny hop character. Very well balanced, a quality brew. Thanks for the bottle Gasspasser.

Pours a fantastic hazy light orange with a 1-1/2" white fluffy head. Great lacing left. Moderate carbonation streams to the top. Big on the nose. Very hoppy, earthy, citrusy grapefruit, piney, all the usual culprets in a great IPA. The taste was amazing. Great hops up front balanced very well with the malts. Buttery mouthfeel. Very easy to drink as the alcohol is undetectible. A damn shame that it won’t be brewed again anytime soon, if ever.

Dec 23, 2007 Review from notes from summer 2005, bottle as part of a mixed Unplugged 4-pack.
Beer pours a brilliant orange, think sun-setting orange. Head is an off-white color that leaves a pretty good lacing. Smell is hoppy, but not the typical piney/resiny hops you normally find in a double IPA, this has a more floral smell to it. There are a bit of citrus-like hops hidden in there as well. In the taste I found a bit of caramel from the malt, but the hops lead the way throughout this beer. The hops are a nice mixture of floral and citrus flavors. Medium bodied and a decent amount of carbonation. Really drinkable, as this seems to be a more tame version of a double IPA. This doesn’t necessarily fit the "Unplugged" label, but it’s still a damn good beer.
