Feb 14, 2009 Caramel-y. A mild and somewhat average taste, but perfectly done. Very mild with emphasis on the malt. Not a full on DIPA but since it was made especially for the DIPA fest (apparently) I labeled it as such. Served out of a cask, which highlighted the subtle flavors and let the malt shine. Perfect for what it was trying for.

Feb 27, 2009 Smells of caramel and sweetness. Served warm and slightly undercarbonated. Really bitter but reasonably balanced with the hops. Nice and mildly dark flavor.

Aug 18, 2009 Draft notes from DRE. Pours deep coppery with off-white head. Nose is resiny hops, tropical citrus. Tastes hoppy, resiny, with tangerine and pineapple notes, solid malt, floral and peppery notes, and a crisp finish. A very good IPA.

Mar 27, 2009 Tap at the Grey Lodge. Pours a translucent amber with a creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of nice floral and citrusy hops, caramel and nuts. Flavor of the same. REally nice hop flavor and aroma. On the dry side too, which I liked since it really helped bring out the hop flavor! The title on this beer can probably lose the "firkin" since SN kegged up a bunch of this.

May 12, 2009 On tap, Eli Cannon’s on SN Ale night. Pours hazy orange with a lasting, creamy head. This beer sat for a good 25 minutes without losing its head retention! Aroma of fresh citrus and flowers, very “west coast.” There is some tangerine in there that sets it apart from, say, their torpedo or Harvest ales. Flavor is initially very citrusy, with pointed grapefruit notes. It soon follows with clean hop bitterness is delicious fashion. Really nice IPA bitter-balance to this beer. Some unique sweet citrus flavors (tangerine?) anchor the experience. I wish this was year-round.

May 26, 2009 On draft at the GL. Pours a semi clear amber with a medium beige head. Aroma of tangy citrus and light pine. Taste of tangy citrus and light pine. Quite hoppy.

Apr 15, 2009 Review dated 10/13/08: "Hand drawn pint at D.B.A. Manhattan. Beautiful amber color. Lovely sweet, floral aroma. Subtle and well-executed. Malt heavy, great bittering hops. Honey, bananas (flambe?), brown sugar notes. Mellow, but SOLID. A great session beer, supremely drinkable."
