Mar 13, 2007 Bottle conditioned. Small ivory head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, transparent, fizzy carbonation, and an orange hue. Nose was malty, caramel, sweet and hoppy but not overly so and ditto for the flavor plus IMO the alcohol was very well hidden. Mildly tingly mouthfeel. Medium body. Very, very quaffable, not over-the-top hops by any means and just plain nice.

Mar 13, 2007 Bottle 12oz
Bright hazy orange, creamy slightly porous white top.
Rich aroma, blend of clean alcohol and high alpha hops. Slightly creamy bottom.
Medium bodied with clean warming alcohol. Strong hop presence with creamy finish. Good middle of the road hoppy ale with above average clean alcohol (especially for such potency).

Mar 12, 2007 rating from several samples in history, 12oz, pours orange with white head. nose is sweet caramel and wet hops pretty odd. flavor isn’t that bitter and really sweet and unpleasent. pnw hops that seem more juicy than anything. the only real good thing about this beer is that you can’t believe it’s 10+% abv.

Mar 6, 2007 Dark orange pour with an off-white bubbly head. Floral aroma of hops, resin, caramel, and wood. Oily mouthfeel with nearly no carbonation. Orange, resin, pine, and malt mix well. Alcohol is masked well, only coming out as the beer warmed. More malty than expected, but an excellent IIPA.

Mar 1, 2007 Bottle. Poured orange/amber with a medium head. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits and pine. Taste was tangy citrus and a fair malt backbone. Alcohol was well hidden, but the warmth was there. Nicely bitter finish. Full(-) bodied. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be ’tangy’.

Feb 28, 2007 Bottle. Great smells of caramel, pine, perfume, and beef broth were easily noticable with hints of prune, pineapple, pear and a slight winey note. Black pepper followed after it warmed a bit. It had a creamy head, good lacing and it had a unique orange color to it. Taste started off moderately sweet and finished both slightly sweet and acidic. It had a medium body, oily texture and a nice soft carbonation. It’s remarkable aroma makes this beer a re-do.
