Jul 25, 2008 650 ml. Hazy dark copper with a small, tries-to-last head. Molasses, caramel, resin, citrus and chocolate aromas. Flavor is all that plus some oak wood, walnut and light alcohol. Near medium body is watery, smooth and dryish with slight chest-warming alcohol.

Jul 18, 2008 Thanks Crushinator. Cloudy yellow with a wonderful head. US hop aroma but European hop taste. A good bitterness, this is well hopped. The caramel is not so noticable and it served to create balance. Lots of lines of lace. A refreshing IPA. Oh its a DIPA, even better, quite drinkable then for its style.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle at Bishops Arms, Järntorget, Gothenburg. Orange color with an off-white head. Aroma of hops, grape, sweet malt, exotic fruit and grass. The taste is hoppy, but not extreme. Notes of grape, pine, caramel, strawberries, exotic fruit, grass and a bit of alcohol. Hoppy, but also very sweet and malty. Creamy and full bodied.

Jul 5, 2008 Bottle. Now that I know it’s retired I’m glad I picked up more than 1 of these. Pours a hazy amber orange with a small off white head. Aroma is strong and full of hops, spanning the array from herbal to citrus. Flavor comes in shockingly sweet after such a lovely aroma. Malt laced with honey along with caramel, pineapple, and citrus. Mouthfeel can only be described as sticky. Since I won’t likely find anymore of these we’ll see how the remaining bottles hold up so I’ll save one for a while. Good DIPA though it seems to me to need more bitterness to offset a sticky sweetness to be truly outstanding.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle from NEPA case split club. My heart sank when I saw this is a retired beer. For the incredible bittery hop content this is pretty well balanced by the malt quotient and has a rather bready yeasty flavor on top of a fruity prune-like banana-esque flavor. There is a nice alcohol bite within the fruit and some floral qualities. Thank you Josh for organizing the split and Kevin and Lindo for picking this up.
