Dec 28, 2008 Pours a nice brownish-yellow as far as I can tell from my mug. Smallish head that dissipates quickly. Wicked, sticky, hop aroma, mostly of flowers. A fine, fine sipping beer. Fresh flavor.

Feb 24, 2007 On tap: An unfiltered deep amber almost brown hue with a small head and good lace. The aroma has a major fruity vapors from the three additions of Summit hops (pineapple and pear), white pepper, biscuity malt, and a hint of phenolic activity. Smells the part of a Double IPA, onward to the tasting...
A fresh dry-hopped sharp hop bitterness and citric character greets you right from the start but I found the beer mostly balanced by the use of Caramalt. A nice peppery finish and even a note of woodiness too. The palate is lively and sharp, fully refreshing with only a mild astringent finish. The 8.0% ABV is mostly hidden. Maybe the best brew Sam has done to date, classic to the new genre, Mikey Likey!

Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GTMW: Pours a transparent dark golden bronze with a well-lacing light tan head. Aroma of earthy grassy catnip and grapefruity hops with some mildly sweet caramel malt. Body starts with a good crisp pale malty sweetness and fresh bittersweet warming hoppy finish. Crisp and enjoyable, a good IIPA.

May 23, 2007 Personal Milestone: Indiana Rating #100 (out of 3436) !!!!!And it’s a dandy for this hop-head. Pouring a hazy dark amber and sporting a slender ecru head, this has a sturdy aroma of pine, grapefruit, and zest over a malty sweetness. The caramel backbone provides just enough strength to support the strong hoppy bitterness that lasts long, long into the finish. Very nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Brewery, Michigan City, IN<font size=-1>
