Jun 17, 2009 On tap at the Great Taste of the Midwest (8/9/08): Pours a semi-transparent copper bronze with a stringy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of fresh grapefruity citrusy hops and some light oaky notes. Body starts fairly full and lightly caramely sweet with good oaky and citrus hoppy balance before a drier bittersweet toasty finish. A nice oaky IIPA.

Aug 23, 2008 GTMW 08 - Pours hazy cloudy brown with a minor off-white head. The aroma lives up to the name and is quite dank with hops and has traits of fruitiness, basement and nectar fruits and toasted caramel malt. Medium smooth body that has light gentle carbonation. The taste has the above mentioned aspects, but has more malt for balance. Well made IIPA.

Aroma is dank as shit! No way, really?
Orange, onion, and lots of malt.
Taste is resiny, bitter pine, orange, and onion.
Nice backbone, some alcohol astringency on the finish though.

Aug 10, 2008 Sampled at GTMW ’08 via special tapping at 2:35. On draught pours a hazy caramel amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has some nice retention and sticky lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, orange zest, some caramel malt, a touch of white pepper and some grassy hops. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of grapefruit, lime zest, grassy hops, a touch of caramel malt and some dry golden malt. Finish is a semi-sweet bitterness that slowly disappears after the finish. From the description I was prepared for some real stinky hops but turned out to be a decent Imperial IPA.
