Jun 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber body with a tan head. Grapefruit and citrus notes with a light spicy hop resin. Strong pine y hoppiness with accents of some mild etoh but well hidden in the vine character of the body. Very nice, my bro is pounding it.

May 25, 2009 Bottle Pours a clear amber with a good off white head. The head is foamy and deminishing. Laces fairly well. Has a good hoppy aroma of spruce, citrus, bread, and bubblegum. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is hoppy but not super bitter. A smooth hoppiness. Has a watery texture. A medium body. A good finish with a good aftertaste. This is a pretty good beer, tasty but I like a little more bitterness.

May 22, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy orange/amber color with a 1" receding off white head. Beer has a very thick appearance to it with bubbles and particles suspended in it. Nose is citrus/floral hops with a sweet malt background. Palate is heavy as you might guess from my appearance description. Taste is citrus hops balanced with malty sweetness. Big bitter finish.

May 1, 2009 Hazy amber in color with a lasting head. good lacing on the glass. Aroma is nowhere near as hoppy as I’d like a IIPA to be- some citrus and floral, but it seems more skewed towards the malt side: some toasted malts, caramel, and touches of phenolics, wet cardboard. Taste is also malty with pale and some sharp crystal malts, moderate hop character, subdued somewhat for the style, with a somewhat astringent bitterness.

Apr 13, 2009 pours from the taps at papago a hazy rich copper color. it is capped with a monster tan head which leaves lots of webs and spots of lace... pretty impressive, really.
the nose is quite sweet and malty... notes of citrus pith, grapefruit and pine in the background.
the palate is malty and sweet as well... (but it is 8%!) along with notes of light dustiness, citrus, faint pine and floral hops. it finishes and lingers tingly, spicy and floral.
it is medium to full bodied but hop and alcohol dryness keep it from becoming thick... oddly numbing mouth feel from the hoppy tingle.
it helps that the food pairing suggestion is spot on... 7/4/7/4/16/3.8
