Aug 31, 2009 The 2009 edition, a stubby 24 oz. bomber.
Appearance is cloudy, illuminated orange. Massive soapy head. Clear with tiny bubbles. Looks like everything you’d want in the look of an IPA. Thick gobs of snowy lace.
The aroma is a citrusy resin hop. Perfumey and a little grassy; complex hop character. Malts are obscured, but an earthy malt appears.
The taste is hops that run the gamut from bitter to flowery, perfumey adn then a hint of citrus. Very nice and pretty refreshing.
The feel is milky and dense. Has the feel of a creamy Imperial IPA. It’s a damn solid IPA. Nice-bodied and easy to slug down. No burn and very little bite.

Aug 31, 2009 Appearance is amber with a thick off white head. Aroma is hops with a little pine resin undertone. Flavor is mostly hops up front, with a little of that sticky, resin type flavor noticeable in the aroma. Finishes with a decent malt presence to balance out the hops. Overall, very well balanced and drinkable, but there should be enough hops to please hopheads without being too overwhelming.

Aug 29, 2009 Updated: Oct 16, 2009This is a Tasty, Tasty Ale. It was my first of this type. An excellent aroma of citrus with a wonderful frothy white head. The clear golden color was very inviting. The slighly bitter aftertaste lets you know you just had a highly hopped ale. The 24 oz bottle means that you have a beverage to enjoy for awhile. This is one my highest rated beers lately. It was purchased at the Whole Foods in Short Pump.
