CaptBier (301), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Jun 3, 2008 Bottle. A dark orange beer with no head. The aroma is very hoppy, sweet, and oily. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy and it has a very dry hoppy end. A very nice beer. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Jun 1, 2008 Bottle x3 or so. Pours a amber orange body with little head. Aroma is citrus, peach, floral notes. Huge hop character that destroys your palate. Almost a bit soapy. This beer is huge they could have probably stuck a few more abv points in here. Ceebs25 (217), Naperville, Illinois, USA May 31, 2008 bottle. great spring floral aroma with some sort of citrus fruit, hard to put my finger on it. Cloudy, golden orange color, no carbonation, very small white head. nearly impossible to fully describe the flavor, tons of hops, a 3fs malty flavor only evident in the finish for a breif instant, then a long bitter citrus hop linger, i get a slight mango flavor right at the beginning, smooth all the way, but still a kick in the face. This is one crazy beer. great. mcmd (132), Louisville, Kentucky, USA May 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a golden orange with small head which diminishes in a snifter. Perfect 10 for aroma on this one, I could be happy smelling this all day - peaches/apricots, honey, sweet pine, citrus...amazing. Taste almost as good as aroma with sweet malt, peaches, and honey followed/balanced by perfect hops and grapefruit finish. Sweet but not as sweet as say 90 minute or hopslam. The most pleasant and pleasing IIPA I’ve had, and for that matter the best I’ve had. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA May 28, 2008 Bottle courtesy Kmeves. Pours a nice amber copper color with a thick white head. Perfect carbonation. Lots of citrusy, pine aroma balanced by a nice amount of malt. Really hoppy, grapefruit juice taste with some malt peaking through. A big grapefruit dryness, also, that comes through a lot in the aftertaste. Dry hoppy bitter with a sneaky alcohol content, wow I liked this. johntreeter (121), Greenwood, Indiana, USA May 26, 2008 22oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber copper color with a thin mostly diminishing head that left little lacing. Aroma of hops; citrus, pine, floral, and a bit of alcohol with a touch of malt. Big hop flavor with a large orange character that balanced well with the malt and alcohol undertones. Medium body with a mildly lively carbonation and slight oily texture. The hop and alcohol finishing feel left me wanting this beer again. An excellent IIPA.
12many (231), Ohio, USA May 25, 2008 Updated: Jun 25, 2009Bottle and tap. Wonderful orange amber with a beautiful lasting head. Huge citrus aroma mixed with the fruit blends perfectly. The wonderful bitterness is complimented by some mild light fruit sweetness. This is one of my favorite beers. Anyone who enjoys an IPA should try this beer. HonkeyBra (1266), Lemont, Illinois, USA May 24, 2008 Bomber from the brewery. Pours a burnt orange with minimal head. aroma has a bit of the peach, citrus, floral, and pine hops, some malt. Taste is mostly hops: flowers, citrus, pine, some fruit, with a slight alcoholic burn. Mouthfeel is full, lightly carbonated, sticky. Overall, this is a great bee. Impressive for the style, and in general, i recommend it.
