Feb 22, 2009 Tastes like a menthol cig. Not a big fan. Definitely wont try this one again.

Feb 17, 2009 Interesting label has a trippy close up image of some hops. Rich aroma of hops, with some herbal notes and malty sweetness. Thick pine forest flavor - lots of West Coast Simcoe brand houblons. Bitter but not hard. The hops dominate, but things are still in balance. There is a touch of citrus, and no skank. The glass has some sheet lacing on it. This should be on every hop lovers list.

Feb 15, 2009 Pours an orange amber with small white head. Simcoe hops and pine on the nose...with nuts and malts on the back. Flavor is bitter hops, citrus and sticky hops resin. Very nice beer.

Feb 9, 2009 Bottle 12 oz. Pours a cloudy deep orange, nice white head with generous lacing. Aroma is pine/hops with a malt backbone, hints of flowers. Nice intense bitterness in this one, hops with grapefuit and honey, leaves a sticky resin on the lips. Very well balanced and potent, alcohol hits like a brick. Really good, wish I had more.

Feb 9, 2009 Cloudy orange amber, even without pouring bottom of the bottle, with rich 3/4-inch off-white head. Fresh wet aroma, nutty, piney. Well rounded on the tongue, good malt balance overall though tending toward bitterness. I really enjoy this - good alternative to Dead Guy Ale or Oaked Arrogant Bastard.

Feb 9, 2009 cask at rattle n hum, nyc...this is as good as an ipa gets for me, very flowery aroma, very grapefruity aroma, nice sweet taste and bitter finish. Nearly perfect, in my book.

Feb 9, 2009 From a 12 oz. bottle send from a friend in MD. Aroma is full of pineapple like I just opened a can of Dole. Slightly sweet aroma. Color is an orange amber with a haze and a half inch beige head. Flavors are toasty, bread crust with hop bitterness and more pineapple flavor from the simcoe. A little sweet, but fairly expected from the 9% abv. Full mouthfeel that is not over carbonated and big and silky over the tongue. Not over the top. Pretty good.

Feb 2, 2009 Bottle thanks to daknole. Cloudy brownish-red with a thin finger of smooth creamy white head. Aroma is powerful citrus, grapefruit and pine hope aromas. Floral and perfumey. Taste is lightly sweet caramel then a dominating citrus hoppiness with a slightly sticky feel as if you had just put some hop resin in your mouth.
