Jan 6, 2008 Updated: Apr 8, 2008Bronze color with okay head. Appearance did not prepare my senses for the onslaught of hop aroma and flavor in this potent IPA. Wonderful, brazen flush of chinook and cascades with excellent bitterness profile. A sapid and quaffable IPA.

Deep blond color. Nice aroma of hops and toffee. Medium bodied, dryish toffee flavor, citrusy and resiny hopping. Good.

Hazy orange-amber color. Medium aroma strength, hops, cream. Better flavor, some sweet malt and a lot of toffee, with a strong hopping, a bit resiny; quite good body structure. Long and powerful, but balanced, final.

Dec 13, 2007 Sort of confused about some of the other reviews on appearance. This stuff is really cloudy. Seems like a kinda soggy box so this might have been sitting for a while. High enough abv to age somewhat... This almost has an aged taste to it.. The malt seems less sweet, more alcohol-ish, but the result is very smooth. The hops aren’t too overwhelming at this point. Tastes a little burnt, tiny hints of sour. Is there a way to check how old this box is?
I almost don’t feel like I’m giving a fair review. One thing I can say is that I haven’t had much "aged" beer, but I’ve had some old beer that was in the 5% range and it was awful. This is still drinkable and interesting. Not really getting as much hop as I would have expected. Appearance, soggy box, etc. I’ll probably re-rate this one. Love the gangster theme of the bottle!

Nov 11, 2007 Stunning aroma of Granny Smith apple that mingles with pungent (Cascade?) hops. Big boomy palate that fills the mouth with delight. Gorgeous pour that leaves long-lasting lace. Relatively balanced with a pine resin undertone. I like it!

Nov 10, 2007 Grapefruit aroma. Indeed heavy on the piny hops and a quick finish. Best odd way I can describe it is an ephemeral experience with a gossamer-like taste. Decent for the style. I wouldn’t pass up a bottle but neither will I be eagerly looking for one.

Nov 10, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy amber in color with small white head, which does not last long. Hoppy grapefruit aroma. Taste is sweet and hoppy grapefruit with bitter but clean finsih.
