Oct 26, 2007 Growler acquired in trade with hellbilly (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear orangish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of melons, caramel, floral hops, and citrus. Tastes of toasted malts, caramel, citrus and had a lighter grapefruit finish. Lacing left on the glass.

Oct 10, 2005 Lasting large white head. Pale golden hue. Quite rooty citrusy and floral hops form the front line, backed up by fitting toasted cereal malts. Very engaging carbonation over the medium body helps keeping the flavours tightened together and accentuate pleasant pineapple and pepper notes, lifting and prolonging a firey hoppy finish.

Apr 15, 2007 On tap at the 10th Annual San Diego Strong Ale Festival: Pours a clear dark golden bronze with a thin wispy-lacing white head. Aroma has some mild, but fresh grapefruity hops and sweet pale malty notes. Body starts lightly sweet with some slightly toasted caramel notes and fresh citrusy hoppy balance. Crisp resiny drier finish hides the alcohol well. A good double IPA.

Oct 4, 2006 Cask... Pre-GABF ’06 at Falling Rock Tap House, Denver... Hazy amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. The aroma is of caramel, grapefruit and pine. The flavor matches the nose and provides medium bitterness. Medium-bodied with almost no carbonation. Lengthy, bitter finish.

Jun 23, 2005 Cask @ 05’ Pizza Port Real Ale Fest: Hazy pale yellow/orange. Nose of orange and watermellon, lots of hops and hop sweetness. I’m chewing on hops (literally). The flavor is so, so hoppy, very light toasty malts, no body.
