May 10, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy orange copper with a wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh grapefruity hops and good undertones of sweet pale malt. Body starts fairly full and caramely sweet with a good resiny hoppy balance. A nice imperial IPA.

Mar 31, 2008 22oz bottle. Poured a deep and hazy golden color with an averaged sized head. Aromas of pine needles with some citrus and light caramel. Tastes of caramel, citrus, and a little fruity. Lightly bitter and medium sweet. Thinner body. Cool name!

Apr 4, 2008 Poured a hazed amber color with a thin off-white head. Aroma of pine, some citrus, and a fruity caramel malt. The flavor is of earthy caramel malt with a citrus base. Dry finish with a mild bitterness. Light to medium body.

Apr 22, 2008 Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing this. Deep amber colour, thin white head. Aroma is nicely hoppy. Light grapefruit, white grape and a bit of orange peel. Lean pale malts but with a nice fresh breadiness as well. Flavour is quite a bit more subtle than the aroma would suggest. A light honeyish character on the back. It’s a nice, well-made IIPA.
