Feb 25, 2009 Pours out light red with creamy foam. Smells sweet and piney. Taste is sweet malt upfront with lots of bitter hops to finish. Thick and complex, but good balance. Pretty strong now but will mellow with age. Tasty brew.

Feb 25, 2009 quite extraordinary, hop flavor with many malts and some pine spices. The palate is full bodies, high alcohol but hidden with plenty of flavor.

Feb 25, 2009 The aroma is very hoppy with pine and citrus as well as butter and caramel malt. The appearance is deep amber with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma with a very bitter finish. The palate is thick and smooth. Overall a very well made beer that is just too bitter.

Feb 24, 2009 Still clear pour with a little haze. Brown-orange color with a thin light tan head. Lots of malt and caramel flavor. Floral and fruity with pineapple and peach. Bitter malt flavor with caramel and molasses. Fruity with some grain and an alcohol finish. Bitterness lingers. Very heavy.

Feb 24, 2009 2006 release. Pours amberish. Caramel maltiness and toffee smell. Very strong alcohol taste, but not unpleasant. Hops were very citrusy. Dark fruitiness as well.

Feb 23, 2009 2009 Version. Had a wonderful color to it like a great CA sunset. Not for the faint of heart by anymeans but does hide its ABV nicely. Aroma lent itself more towards the fruit side.

Feb 21, 2009 500 mL 2009 version. Pours a translucent amber color with a massive two-finger cream head that settles down to nice layer and leaves sheety lacing. Huge aroma of spicy alcohol, barley, caramel malt, wet bittering hops, strawberries, peaches, apricots, candied fruits. Taste upfront is powerful grapefruit like a double IPA with piney hops but then moves to brasil and hazelnut. Full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Finishes dry and bitter with a long aftertaste of hazelnut and walnuts. 11.26% is very well hidden by the massive malt backbone and crazy amount of balancing hops. This is truly excellent. Would like to cellar one but this is so good fresh from the tanks that I would rather enjoy them right now.
