Jun 23, 2006 2006 bottle via CaptainCougar. The beer pours to a nice 24 k golden body with a thick off-white/yellow head. The aroma is Curaçao oranges, nice biscuity malts, rye bread. Notes of pine needles dance about. The flavor is Curaçao oranges, bitter pineyness, nice maltyness, leafy hops, and a spicy zing. Quite unique for an IIPA. I like the strong Curaçao orange characteristics. The palate is medium bodied, lightly resiny, and bitter. Nice creamy mouthfeel.

Jun 22, 2006 Updated: Jun 18, 2007Poured a deep amber in color with a thin off-white head. Nice lacing. The first thing that comes to mind when I get a touch of the aroma is "candy." Caramel, sweeeeet malts, maybe some plum-like fruit notes. Nice, rich malty flavor with a light hop finish and slightly bittersweet undercurrent. Slightly syrupy on the palate, but not in a bad way. Full bodied. Very, very good.

Jun 20, 2006 Updated: Jun 21, 2006Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle. Poured murky deep orange with some sediment (hops!), an average creamy/foamy off-white head. Mix of funky and resiny/citrus hops, muted but thick, lots of juicy malt and a hint of lactose - sweet, reminds me weirdly of fresh pumpkin. Initial taste of caramel-sweet thick malt, then a big kick of booze, some indeterminate hop bitterness added to the booze bitterness at the end, some orange zest character. Mouthfeel is decently thick, almost syrupy, and it’s a little astringent and lightly carbonated, but primarily this is boozy. Interesting, I liked the regular much more; an experiment indeed, that Green Mad Scientist must have been sniffing the ether ...

Jun 14, 2006 Thanks to heemer77 for the 12oz bottle. Pours an orange copper with a tiny fizzy film. Aroma of raisins, caramel malts, alcohol, some pine, woody, and resinous hops. Very grassy and herbal up front, pine, resin, and woody hops showing up as well, though I can’t tell you which one. Slightly bitter cereal grain finish. Full bodied, medium-light carbonation.
