Mar 2, 2006 Pour is a murky orange with an off white head....laces well. Aroma is all hops and resin. The taste has hints of fruit at the outset and a balanced hop bitterness on the finish. One of the best IIPA’s I’ve had.

Feb 24, 2006 Bottled. Cloudy amber, rich head. Stron aroma of grapefruit and lychee. Sweet and malty with full body and some syrup. Hop induced notes of marmelade and salty licorice, massively bitter finish. Ther sweetness is the one drawback.

Big flowery aroma with some malts. Big fullbodied taste. "Tutti frutti". Chewable. Orange peel. Long aftertaste.

Feb 17, 2006 Eary Dec ’05 tasting. Orangy pour. Grapefruit rind hop aroma, with some touches of orange. Sweet caramel malt backing with a lot of citrusy hops, again with that touch of orange. Lingering bitter finish. Good.

Feb 17, 2006 "Poured a hazy, dark amber color with an off white head that left good lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, and floral hops. Flavor was piney, and major grapefruit flavor. Good beer."

Feb 16, 2006 A great brew for me, I opened it an hour ago, and its still got a small head on it, with plenty of lacing. Alcohol doesn’t smack you in the face, as I expected it would. I had a prime rib burrito with this one, very nice! lol.

Feb 11, 2006 Bottle... Clear, orange ale with a large, frothy, off-white head. Excellent retention. The nose is pink grapefruit pulp floating in a vat of freshly squeezed island fruit and tangerine. Bitter as hell and fruity.The nice, solid, caramel malt backbone is only an afterthought as the lupulin clings to the back of my tongue and throat until my mouth is numb and my wind pipe is all but "cut-off." Ok, maybe I exagerrate, but the brew is really very bitter. Full-bodied and dry with lively carbonation. A hophead’s dream beer! Thanks go out to DarkElf for the bottle!

Feb 11, 2006 22 oz. bottle. A hazy copper pour with a thick sandy head that leaves plenty of lace. Lots of strong, resiny hops in the aroma. Oranges dominate and are followed by some grapefruits, lemons and pine. Sweeter and fruitier aroma than other I2PAs I’ve had. Medium-bodied. Some maltiness, but mostly it’s just all about the varieties of hops. Acidic, herbal and bitter as hell! A very dry finish that lingers along with some warming alcohol. A very pleasant surprise.
