Bottle courtesy of jsquire. Thanks, Jeff! Poured a small off-white head that mostly lasted, splotchy lacing, hazy, no carbonation noted, and a golden orange hue. The nose consisted of caramel malts, citrus hops, pine, clove, and some pepper. The flavor was that of caramel, lightly bitter, some grapefruit, malt, spicy and the ABV was well masked. Mildly tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. Very quaffable and not over-the-top hoppy tasting IMO, nice balance, and worthy of a try if you get the opportunity.

Aug 14, 2008 After spending five minutes cutting off the top I finally got this one open. Very slightly hazy orange/amber with a 2 inch white head that lasts for some time leaving some nice lacing. Smell is sweet candied citrus fruits(grapefruit, orange). Much sweeter and maltier smelling than expected. Taste is huge sweet citrus fruits, slight pine and a moderate caramel maltiness and floral perfuminess. Slightly syrupy and heavy with alcohol becoming more and more present. A good IIPA.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Sparky27...THANKS Eric!!! Light golden orange body with a solid white head that leaves a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is primarily nectarine, tangerine, and lemon rind with hints of douglas fir. Flavor is sweeter than expected, although you can definitely taste the sharp hops and alcohol bite. A great beer...wish it was readily available in AZ!!!

Aug 10, 2008 Clear amber with a frothy tan head that lingers. Big aromas of ganja bud, piney hops. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Nice flavors of caramel with juicy piney hops meshing nicely. Has a mildly bitter boozy taste to finish. Really enjoyed this one.
