Jul 8, 2008 Pours a copper amber with creamy head that dissipates to a lacing. Aroma is all about the hops/pine. Aroma is tangy bitter=delicious. Flavor is hops with sweet fruit notes but don’t think it overpowers the bitterness. The bitter pine/hops comes out perfectly. Body is perfect light but creamy.

Jul 7, 2008 16 oz can. Pours a deep amber color with an off white, almost tan head. Excellent lacing and very good head retention. Strong pine nose with a subtle fruitiness in the background. You can almost smell the bitterness you are about to endure! Flavor is nice and fruity-sweet with a bitterness that just wraps around your tongue. Hints of pine sneak in and out with different sips. Very delicious. Body is nice, it isn’t too syrupy that sometimes comes along with beers this hoppy. This is a must have for any hop head.

Jul 6, 2008 In short: A well malted, well hopped tasty resinous IPA. Above average.
How: 16 oz can thanks to the simultaneous generosity of mreush and Stine. Thanks guys
The look: Cloudy golden amber body topped by a small off-white head
In long: Nose of pine-tree and some oranges. Well malted body. Fruity rich sweet fruity cake malt profile. A truckload of hops that have both a resinous and a pine-cone juice flavour. Some orange peels too. Enjoyable smooth carbonation, almost cask-like. A tasty and very good IPA but not quite the kick-ass beer I was hoping for. Although I should specify that my can was probably 4 to 5 months old. I need a re-rate on a fresh can. And when I say I need a re-rate on a fresh can I don’t mean a re-rate sitting on a clean toilet.

Jul 6, 2008 On tap at Durty Nellies in Palatine, IL. This marks the first time I ever went to a bar because I read on rate beer that a certain beer was on tap. I feel kind of like a beermo. The beer was awesome, though. Nice caramel malt with lots of awesome hops. Dry, bitter finish. Pretty awesome IPA.

Jul 2, 2008 Scored this in a trade with Scubarex. Many thanks! The tall boy pours a translucent, copper, orange amber with a creamy, slightly beige head that laced the glass heavily. Spicy aroma of pine, lemons and grapefruit. Flavor is well rounded with nice doughy, sweet malts and oranges and lemons. Finish is slightly bitter and dry. Very drinkable.

Jun 28, 2008 Guest brew on tap at Flossmoor Station. Darker golden brown than any IPA I’ve ever seen with an awesome foamy head that left behind lovely lacing. Powerful aroma of floral hops with pleasant citrus notes. Taste was much more malty and sweet than expected, but perfectly balanced by the long, bitter hop finish. Exemplary IPA!

Jun 28, 2008 Pours a dark orange. Over powering nose of grapefruit hops. The comes across the palate like is smells with a lot of carbonation. It has an overpowering tart finish. That just makes you beg for more.

Jun 27, 2008 This draft brew from Durty Nellie’s in Palatine, IL poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized cream colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent uncarbonated dark orange colored body and a good lacing. The aroma was strongly hopped and the mouth feel was tingly from start to finish. The Flavor contained notes of deep floral hops reflected by the aroma. Well done.
