Dec 1, 2007 Awesome beer from a can! And hoppy? Man. At 6.2% its an IPA, but the hop rate here is all DIPA levels. Big huge piney resiny hop aromas, followed by monstrous resiny hop flavors. Hugely bitter finish. Huge, just huge. There’s a brown sugared toast for the malt, which is heavy enough but is clearly taking a back seat. Lightly hazed dark reddish copper, big beige head, thick and protein rich, with moderate lacing.

Apr 3, 2008 Thick hazy amber - ugly body with a rich "we used a lot of hops" head. Big hop nose - orangey, wood with an earthy, breadcrusty background. Fat body is resiny with hops, in a pleasingly moderate bitterness matched by caramelized sugars that are only slightly sticky. An assault of hops - perhaps lacking the sense of style you see in the best PNW examples but this is nonetheless well-structured.

Jul 9, 2007 16oz. can. Strong aroma of fresh, citric hops, some orange and flowers in conjunction with lighter notes of red apple fruitiness, pine, toasted malts and touches of fresh wood and earthiness. Clear medium red-copper color with a very fine but lasting head leaving wisps of lacing behind. Flavor is rather easily dominated by the suitably aggressive hop character, which brings flavors of tangerine, pineapple and herbs to go along with the massive bitterness, and blended towards the middle with a darkly honeyish, toasty malt character. Sprucy, leafy, tangy and again very solidly bittering at the finish. Finely effervescent and lightly resinous, oily and drying mouthfeel with a medium body. This stuff just makes with the hops, and fast. Thanks a bunch to theisti!

Jun 2, 2009 Thanks Shep. Poured from a can. Dark caramel color with a nice long lasting tan head. Busy carbonation. Big hop nose with citrus and floral notes. The flavor is the same with a big hop profile. Floral and grapefruit. Interesting choice of malt there is a light roasted effect. Some biscuit, as well. It is very bitter from the first sip. Finish is more complex fruit. There aren’t many IPAs better than this one! So well crafted.

May 18, 2008 On tap at The Local Option in Chicago. Pours dark brown with a thick off-white head. The aroma is earthy, piny and floral hop goodness along with a solid deep toasted malt balance. Medium / thick body that is smooth for the style with some nice semi-soft carbonation. The flavor starts with very earthy hops, pine cones and the sturdy malt of the aroma. The finish is sticky with resiny hops. Very nice IPA ~ wish I could get it in my area.

Jul 21, 2007 These canned beers have totally helped me forget the crap of the past that once dominated all. Hops up front and through and through with good balance (not all hops) to boot. Wish this were available locally so I could say, no thanks, I had it when it was cool.

Aug 13, 2009 Eagan, Mn. - Old Chicago Pizza - on tap. Dark copper pour, nice sticky, slightly off-white head that leave generous lacing. Fresh spruce aroma with some minty accents. full bodied flavor with plenty of bitter grapefruit, some nectarines and a bit of chocolate-toffee maltiness to balance it out. Nice, sticky mouthfeel. Excellent way to start off my vacation.

Jul 3, 2007 RBSG 2007 Tour at Surly – Deep amber, thick creamy off white head. Hop forward nose of grapefruit, pine, and earth that relies on a soft toasted caramel malt backbone. Well bittered piney earth-like flavors are balanced with just touches of toasted sweet malt. Bitter from start to finish. Medium bodied with a pillow soft carbonation. Very nice session IPA
