22 oz. bottle from GABF Kegmaster David, via Dean at SDBrewCo. Pours deep ruddy amber with a small white head that leaves a bit of lace. Fruity malts, earthy, soft hops with citrus sherbet and a bit of pine dust. Malty and fruity, still dusty with caramel, piney hops, florals and a little spice in the finish. Medium to full body, tingly carbonation.

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.

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.

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.

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.
