Oct 6, 2008 22oz bottle from the brewery. She comes out in a nice cloudy burnt orange. Decent head fades rather quickly but carbonation keeps bubbling from the bottom. Aroma is hops hops hops and some malt. Lovely smell, there’s some fruit in there too. She tastes of hops hops hops and fresh fruit. Solid taste with a lot going on. Slight warm of alcohol finish. Lasting mouthfeel, I can still taste it. Mmm that’s good. Lacing is there but not much to talk about. Excellent brew, A+++ will drink again

Oct 3, 2008 Amber-orangeish color, with a fluffy white, leaving laces, candied orange peel nose with a nice apricot flowery hop accent, with some cedary, coniferous, resiny pine niddle notes and a hint of hemp leafiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, toasty malt, candied apricot, orange peel, marmalade character, than wow!! a nice flowery hop lush conefirous, cedary, resiny, pine niddle flavor, kind concentrated hoppy pallet , but well balanced with a mellow sweetness, leading towards a citrus, lemony, lime, cedary, leafy hop bitterness finish.

Sep 29, 2008 Impressive brew, not as aromatic or full bodied and texture, and the finish was Ok. But very complex and interesting from the 1st taste. Hops are complex, a friend said "Stone IPA", which isn’t a bad thing. Bottled seemed fresh. I have several more and look forward to trying again and again as this brew isn’t around So Cal.

Sep 18, 2008 Flaske. Til at fejre min nyfødte datter, her på min kones fødselsdag er dette virkelig en treat. Tusind tak til vedkommende der gjorde det muligt. Du ved hvem du er.
På trods af at den er et par måneder gammel er humlen dejlig frisk i næsen. Karboneringen er ikke helt i orden hvilket gør at der ikke er noget skum. Det er måske den eneste kritik af denne super øl. Smagen er let citrus med en smule mango, og n masse friskeblomster. Mundfylden er helt perfekt på trods af den manglende karbonering hvilket gør den ikke er rent 5 tal. Fantastisk lækker øl.

Sep 15, 2008 After having this brew several times in the past year thought I should put a rating in for this fabulous IPA. 22oz bomber pours a hazy, dark coppery color with thin white foam that left a small amount of lace. Aroma had hints of resinous pine, lush citrus fruits, and sweet malts. The carbonation is low to medium & the body is full. The taste is a balanced mouthful of a creamy, malty, sweet finish, along with an unbelievable, intense hoppy flavor and bitterness equaled by the intensity of the richness of full bodied mega malt. This definitely is one of the best IPA’s I have to date. I could drink this stuff all night!!

Sep 10, 2008 Bottle, at BA Throwdown #2. Thank you gillard. I...I love you. Clear golden colored pour, creamy white head, very sticky lacing. Huge on hops in the nose, oily, citrus is big, malts come through eventually. Very tasty citrus flavors, vanilla, some maple, full of pine and some surprising toasted notes. Very drinkable, smooth full body that masks the alcohol well.
