2008-05-08. Orange copper body with a good sized creamy off-white head, and nice lace. Pleasant sweet orange citrus hops in the aroma, light resiny alcohol. (7+) Flavour starts with orange hops, light astringent orange peel, wave of mild alcohol distracts and mutes the forerunners, but they return and slowly grow stronger, light lingering hops in the finish. Smooth average plus palate. Pleasant, full flavoured without being rip your face off bitter. Restrained, and rather pleasant. I seem to be on the high end of the scale on this one, guess I was just in the mood for it. Bottle shared by Jon Walker

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.
