Nov 3, 2009 22oz bottle from Charles Street Liquors, Boston. Gold colour, thin head. Massive hoppy aroma. Definitely lots of mandarin orange to go with the herbaceous and the resinous. Orange also to the fore on the palate. Coupled with a warming alcohol presence and a fairly sweet mouthfeel, I find distinct echoes of Cointreau or some other orange liquer. There’s quite a strong bitterness to go with the sweetness that lingers into the aftertaste together with a slightly hot alcohol remnant. Undeniably a big beer with not much room for subtlety. Very tasty but just a touch too sweet, verging on syrupy, for me.

Nov 1, 2009 Pours golden with a big white head. Aromas of tangerine and grapefruit. Flavors are much more subtle of tangerine and grapefruit. Initial sip was bitter but that faded quickly. Overall a very good IPA.

Oct 31, 2009 Updated: Nov 1, 200922 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. This beer’s 500th rate! Hooray! Pours a clear golden color with a medium frothy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is beautiful, floral and citrus hop notes with a bit of a resiny bite in the end. Taste is citrus hops with a good amount of bitterness, some floral notes and some nutty malty notes. Medium-full bodied. Good beer.

Oct 31, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Dark orange pour with a thin off-white head. Strong and clean aroma of fresh cut grass, pine needles, and a hint of grapefruit. Very smooth pineapple and tangerine flavor but with a good amount of hop bitterness. This is a very good DIPA. Well above average.

Oct 28, 2009 Bottle Pours a clear golden orange with an okay off white head. The head has average staying power and laces quite well. Has a good hoppy aroma of citrus and spruce. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is hoppy without being to bitter. Has nice touches of oranges. Has a medium body. The texture is strangely chalcky. Has a solid finish with a good aftertaste. This is a decent drinkable IPA.

Oct 8, 2009 Ehh, wasn’t terribly impressed by this IPA (maybe I was being overly critical this day). Aroma is citrusy (grapefruits, some orange) and floral hops. Flavor similar. Definitely enjoyable for what it was.
