Dec 14, 2009 Wow... I can’t believe I’ve never rated this one. Yet another that’s gone under the radar. Probably helps that it’s seasonal. Nice, frothy off-white head and well-formed sticky lacing. Cloudy orange-tinted IPA color. Aroma of malt and hops, flavor of hops - quite a great bouquet! The extra alcohol makes this quite lovely. Not quite as harsh as a double IPA, but a hell of a lot easier to drink and just as tasty. We put away a 12 pack of this in no time...

Dec 14, 2009 Fairly dark amber with a dense lasting head. Hops and caremelly malt aroma. Powerful balanced taste with noticeable dry hop and bitterness in the finish. This could be a year round favourite.

Dec 13, 2009 Draft at Jerry’s. Amber with good, creamy tan head / Sweet, caramel and hops nose / Medium body, moderately sweet and malty, with big dry hops to match and good finish / Flavors of caramel and dry hops with floral and citrus notes / Another nice hoppy beer in the SN style.

Dec 13, 2009 Had this one several times and I could say it brought me in to the light. Pours a copper orange and retains a light head. Smells divine like walking into a pine forest. Taste of hop heaven with a definite bite for those that crave the strong hop oil. recommend to those that are looking to celebrate Christmas!!!

Dec 13, 2009 12 ounce 2009 bottle in pint glass. Copper with lasting head and lace. Rich grapefruit citrus and earthy hop and biscuit aroma. Lightly toasted orange nutty biscuits and assertive grapefruit and earthy hops with bitter dry finish. Another all-time favorite that I am surprised to see I have not yet rated even though I have had it at least a hundred times this year alone. One of the best beers. I think I’ll have another.

Dec 12, 2009 12 oz. bottle- Pours amber with a pillow like head, aroma is yeast and hops. The flavor is hoppy like their other IPA’s, but also has a mild malt flavor, and lots of character.
