Aug 21, 2009 From the Can at the Oskar Blues Brewery, Longmont 08/10/2008
Very hoppy aroma. Golden coloured and hoppy with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.

Aug 18, 2009 On tap at RnH. Pours deep golden copper brown. Taste is full flavored.. deep floral hop, caramel and malt backbone. Interesting body, on the thicker side and somewhat oily. Would like to revisit this again..

Aug 15, 2009 Can. Poured a deep amber color with a dense orange head. Lots of caramel and earthy, floral hops in the nose. Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and ample carbonation. Flavor is loaded with hop flavors and caramel, I also got a slight vegetal note which wasn’t pleasent. Overall very good beer.

Aug 14, 2009 can pour, dark golden/light amber with medium light tan head and large carbonation noted, wonderful floral hop aroma like smelling a pack of hops with a slighter sweet smell, beautifully balanced flavors with big hop flavors nice malt sweetness and almost zero hop bitters, a "hop bittering fakeout" if you will, tastes so good should have flashing lights on it!

Aug 12, 2009 12oz can poured into a goblet. Pours a reddish copper brown with a nice white head. Lots of lacing, good carbonation. Aroma is heaven. it’s full of hops and also a great thick caramel malty scent. Taste is mostly floral hops with a light bitter finish. You also get some caramel, and malt but they’re not as pronounced as the smell would leave you to believe. Alcohol is very well hidden. The only thing keeping this beer from being perfect is that it’s not quite as heavy and thick as I was looking for. A little lighter than most double ipas.

Aug 12, 2009 12oz can into a pint glass. The pour is deep reddish brown like clay with a thick off-white creamy head that lasts. The aroma is big fresh hops that you could sniff all night and be satisfied. The flavor is malt, caramel, maple syrup, and a touch of bitter leafy hops. The beer has medium-low carbonation with a big creamy body that still goes down nice. The exhale is more hoppy than the actual flavor, which is nice going out.

Aug 11, 2009 Lots of hops. MMMmmm hops. THe body is thick and big oily, and the taste follows the nose with tons of pine, not really any floral, and some citrus. But the flavor for me fades on the back end. After the swallow the flavors are gone, not so much linger. I’m glad this is classified as an IIPA now, I think it used to be an American Strong. Very pricey. I really wish the flavor hung around--that bitter burn you get after exhaling after a healthy sip of a hoppy beer isn’t really here at all, and I’m missing it severely.
