Nov 18, 2007 Pours a clear gold with a nice crème head. Nose is that syrupy sticky pine sweet tone. Flavor is that double IPA goodness. Hoppy and thick with that pine character to it. This is a traditional, if there is such a thing, DIPA. Hearty and robust with a consistently full flavor. If you want a great example of this style, then this is it. No need to look further. Feel has that thick and slick and somewhat sticky liquid feel. Decent level of carbonation. This gives it how you want to see it. A must try. Stellar.

Nov 11, 2007 Bottle. Molasses aroma with some hop; not my favorite. Hazy amber body with a thin, off-white head. Nice lace. Heavy alcohol presence. Excellent hop profile. Great finish. Really friggin’ excellent brew. Underrated. Southern Tier is a top notch brewer and a rising star.

Nov 10, 2007 Via trade with a gentleman from the other site. Thanks, Adam! Crisp and golden, with a lively body and pleasant fruity aroma. It’s an aggressive beer, both in its intense dryness and in its slightly rough hop profile. It balances out once you get used to it, but I was surprised at how modest the malting was. Sweet and drinkable, if not overly memorable.

Nov 8, 2007 Appears an orange toned amber with a foamy, batter-like head with bubbly pockets of cream that fades into a nice film and silky collar. Streams of CO2 quickly rise to the top.
Smell is of biscuits, citrus, pine, earthy, caramel, cat pee funk, and minerals.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with caramel, and earthy herbs standing out.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, semi-sweet, with caramel and balanced bitterness. I barely noticed the 10% abv.
