Jun 15, 2009 Pours an orange color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet malt,citrus, grapefruit, a little bit of pine. Flavor is very well balanced. Good citrus hop kick is mellowed by a sweet malt finish with very little bitterness. Really nice Imperial IPA.

Jun 12, 2009 Aroma is sweet citrus and sticky pine. Flavor is good, pine and resin dominates but citrus and grapefruit also in there. A nice sweet sugary malt in the body of this brew which makes it very drinkable. There is some alcohol warmth though maybe a bit much for a dipa but not overpowering. Aftertaste is bitter which lasts and lasts. A nice brew my only hit would be what I thought last time, is that it’s a little strong for a dipa. I think it would be better served at 9% but really that’s just a minor hit.

Jun 8, 2009 Got ahold of a bottle as an extra a trade. Aroma was aw expected from an IPA, the appearance was also surprising strong with a rustic orange or copper color that you couldnt see through. Taste was sweet, and extremely hoppy. The hops might have been a little much for me. Alcohol though, I did like and could taste through the hops.

Jun 7, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pizza Port/Port/Lost Abbey is now in Champaign! Very exciting, so I picked up this an Old Viscosity, though I’ll age that a while. Pours a dull copper color with a small off-white head that dies somewhat quickly, leaving little to none. Smells of very strongly of citrus, as well as tons of fresh hops, a little bit of pine, and a bit of malt. Tastes of great citrus flavors, some sugary malt (in the back, and its like honey), and lots of fresh hops. Goes down very smooth (as smooth as a I-IPA can be), and leaves a pleasant sweet taste in your mouth. Fairly strong bodied, though it could be more. A very impressive I-IPA.

Jun 2, 2009 Bomber into pint glass. Pours a hazy golden orange with a nice and thick white head. Strong aromas of grapefruit and pine, hint of honey. Taste is sweet malt and honey early with huge grapefruit and piney hops dominating after leaving an intense bitterness in the finish. Medium to full chewy body. Nice IIPA, not as smooth as others though.

May 31, 2009 Bottle, 22oz. Shared by tarjei. A hazy, orange beer with a small, dense, beige head. The aroma has pinecones, some citrus, resin and a malty sweetness giving some beefstock. Piney and resiny flavor, really bitter, and lasting for a long time. Warming and full-bodied. I find the beer a bit too intense on bitterness and alcohol warmth, slightly unbalanced, still it’s a quite delicious beer. And I probably shouldn’t complain over balance problems with a beer like this. (090508)

May 26, 2009 Bottle from a little liquor store in South Park (San Diego, not the TV show). Pours an amberish orange with medium off-white head. Bright with sweet aromas of banana liqueur, overly ripe pineapple, citrus, and cough syrup. Flavor is some sweet grapefruit but mostly sharp hoppy bitterness of resiny pine. Quite a bit of lingering hop bitterness. I also get a slight almost burnt taste in the finish -- not sure where that came from. Aggressive, but drinkable.
