Jul 6, 2007 12 oz bottle from Zinister, brewed July 17, 2006. Enjoyed at the csbosox tasting 7/3. Pour is cloudy orange-amber with just a trail of a white head. Aroma is muted hops and some malt. Taste is grapefruit peel, and a little bit of aged sourness. The alcohol is completely buried in this, but there was something just a touch off in this one. Thanks for this one Michael.

Jul 5, 2007 Beautiful amber color. Good IPA, the hopping is oily and very strong, aromatic, more resiny than fruity; there is enough malt, caramel and toffee to balance it. The final is long, aromatic, balanced. A bit soul-less but very pleasant.

Jul 3, 2007 Thanks Jason. The beer pours to a murky dark orange caramel colored body with a thin white head. The aroma is yeasty. Kind of smells like tomatoes, dried mangoes, and pineapples. Blend that all up with granola. The flavor is bitter old hops and granola. The palate is bitter and medium-light bodied.

Jul 3, 2007 Clear copper. Creamy off-white small head. Old, aged hops tells me it was pretty hoppy when it was fresh. They sit on a moderately sweet caramel body with some fruit thrown in... with the sweetness probably coming through by the hops fading.
Flavor has the same qualities as the aroma, with the hops being spicer and some alcohol showing up. Pretty good overall. I dig the mellowed hops.

Jul 3, 2007 off copper color hints of red w/ a fairly full creme of wheat looking head w/ some large bubbles and some decent lacing. aroma is nice definately some hot hops and a cereal piece hops are fairly subdued some alcohols and hints of carmels. Big full fluffy mouth feel, very dry swallow. Flavor is more bitter than expected definate grass and citrus notes some rather dull toffees and hints of alcohol make for a warm swallow.

Apr 17, 2007 I think Walt gave sent me this. I think this because it is a beer from Texas and Walt was the last person from Texas I did a trade with and also because the package this beer came in, from Texas, had nude pictures of Walt in intimate poses with numerous goats, donkeys and high caliber fire arms and while I assume many people are probably in possession of such picture, only Walt would actually send them out. SO... thanks, Walt.
<P>
The aroma is quite fruity (like Walt in those pics) and malty and not at all the hop bomb you expect from a DIPA. It’s got apple, pear, caramel, citrus and apricot notes and even a healthy dose of toffee. I rather enjoy the aroma. The body is a murky dull orange and the head never gets itself together long enough to be much. The fore is like the last bit of a well worn down butterscotch/caramel hard candy. It’s quite thick and careml/toffee/butterscotch tasting. Fairly dry, but some residual sweetness remains. It’s got some bready notes to it and while it is obviously hopped all to hell the malt roars to the fore in this one. More my kind of DIPA and I very much enjoyed it.

Apr 14, 2007 Bottles thanks to Ughsmash and bu11zeye: Pours a slightly hazy copper bronze with a small, frothy, clingy-lacing white head. Aroma of somewhat fresh, earthy, grapefruity hops with a touch of caramel malt. Body starts with decent viscosity and a toasty caramel maltiness with some drier, peppery hops toward the finish. A decent IIPA, but needs some more fresh hoppy character for balance.

Apr 14, 2007 Poured a mostly clear copper color with a thin off-white head. Citrusy and earthy hop aroma with a very fruity malt base. Notes of apricots and caramel. Fruity and malty start with a piney and bitter finish. Semi-dry with a medium-full body.
