Oct 24, 2009 12oz can bonused by alagnak. Stamped with a canned 9-08-09. Pours a orangish caramel clear brown with a small but sticky head that leaves touches of lacing. Juicy bready nose with resiny orange hop and pine. Nice balance of malt with the sweet citrus hop flavors with just a bit of bitterness. I have had cans and had it on draft before, but this has to be the freshest one I have ever had and I must say it is much more enjoyable. The 8.7% is well hidden for sure.

Oct 23, 2009 This is just good. I would bathe in this beer, and drink it afterwards...though, I would have to admit, that pre-bath would be the best way to enjoy this masterpiece. Citris, pine, malt, hops. This beer has everything I want in a beer...Except maybe for the fact that it costs at about 10 bucks a 4 pack... it’s still a must buy. I love this beer so much, that the next time I buy a 4 pk, I’m going to drink three of them, and take the 4th to the back seat of my jeep and get it pregnant.

Oct 21, 2009 tap at the Lyons brewpub - Pours deep copper with a very long lasting head and a great big citrus hop aroma. It tastes of huge hops with huge citrus flavors and yes, some big malt to support it. The smells and flavors of this beer definitely loom large and it works great.

Oct 8, 2009 Sampled at WBF in Durham - poured a hazy golden color with a white head - aroma of hops, citrus, pine and caramel. The flavor was a nice hoppy grapefruit with a piney resin. Again - how does this stuff come out of a can tasting this good? Loving it.

Oct 7, 2009 12oz can, deep golden color, thin white head, some lace. Interestingly complex flavor, adequate hops. A bit overrated but not overpriced.

Oct 5, 2009 This is a pleasant, fairly well balanced, but simple, uncomplicated double IPA, easily drinkable beer with some character but not much.
Golden amber, it has a medium light tan head with hints of orange, slowly diminishing to a foamy ring with a tiny bit of weak lace.
The aroma is sweet, full, and flowery with grapefruit, grapefruit ring, raisin, hints of resin, and canned pear.
The taste is grapefruity with plenty of grape and raisin, caramelly grain. It’s fairly sweet with dry zetiness and very faint bitterness in the finish but lingering. It has unusual bitter-sweet balance, neither being leaning much to being sweet or bitter, but has dominant hop character.
