The nose is pine and malt. The taste is bitter resin, caramel, light citrus and toffee. Medium mouthfeel. Sweeter than expected but still a very nice DIPA. Thanks again Mike! fiver29 (717), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Bottle shared my Mike. Thanks Mike! Pours orange with off white head. Aroma is pine needle resin. If you grind up pine needles and squeeze out the resins from those needles you know what this beer smells like. Course mouthfeel. Flavor is what you would expect. Upfront pine needle hop flavor. Like I was sipping on a brew made with rosemary. It finishes with a malt sweetness I found surprising. A solid beer. vtafro (469), , New Jersey, USA

Amber pour with white head. Floral, citrus, grapefruit, chewy notes, with a slight warming. Would be a perfect autumn beer. Rciesla (3610), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Dark orange color with a fluffy head. Aroma is not as big as the flavor. Some pine and citrus hops bordering semi tropical. Flavor is very bitter and oily bit a big body and tons of grapefruit and pine earthy hops. Lingering but nice. Very well balanced.
