Beershine (1059), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 14, 2008 Bottle, thanks hopscotch. Bright amber, medium head. Herbal, some esters. Moderate phenols, slightly medicinal. Banana. Rubbing alcohol. Strong, not multi-faceted.
WeeHeavySD (1511), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jun 28, 2008 Bomber via bikeandbeer, this has been in my fridge chilling for at least a year. Pours orange with an off white head, muted hops nose and taste hidden alc eh after a year in fridge it makes sense that things ar muted. laguerita (42), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 20, 2008 gorgeous amber color with a great fruity aroma. this has some serious bitterness that compliments all the hops just great. i love it. fiulijn (5650), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Jun 14, 2008 Beautiful amber color, with a big creamy head. Sweet and fruity aroma (mango? apricot?) Then some herbal hop comes out. Good body structure, with sweet toffee flavor, and a fruity bitterness, but not extreme. Very good. Oakes (6779), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jun 13, 2008 Slightly hazy amber, not much head. Somewhat medicinal aroma with pear and peach fruitiness. Actually a little watery, with light citrus accents, some chewy caramel. Not much going on. colemgm8 (342), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Jun 7, 2008 sample on 6/5/08, rating from notes. great aroma and solid deep golden appearance... but becomes more average through the palate and flavor profile. Medium body, soft palate and decent finish. A good, yet average IIPA.
