Bottle, poured into a snifter, nice head (two fingers). Dark amber color. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Taste of hops and some citrus flavor. This beer is sweet, but still high up on the bitterness scale. Which is a nice change up. This is a good IIPA. ****Update***** This 12oz bottle sat for about six months. Much maltier then I remembered, but still has a nice bitter kick to it. The textue is also a little thicker and smoother then last time. Still sweeter then most DIPA’s. Good brew! Quenched my thirst for hops at 2am Sep 6th 08. Gpnterojd (164), Orangeville, Ontario, Canada

Rich, sweet and roasted malt flavours nearly dominate a crisp hop finish. Moderately bitter and full bodied. Lasting hop finish. MaliMisho (215), East Meadow, New York, USA

Nice amber color with a big fluffy head. Taste is citrus, pine bitter just right for a Piney like me. Not for the feint of heart fishingnet (1047), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of resiny floral and citrus hops with a sweet malt backbone. Taste is the same as aroma with a hint of sweet caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a strong but wel balanced amount of bitterness and well hidden alcohol. Very good. obxdude10 (1563), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 1, 2008 Tasted 01Feb2008: The hop aroma is evident the minute the beer is opened. Teh aroma has a piney, wintergreen (?) bouquet with a hint of sweet maltiness. The brew has a deep yellowish-orange (amber) color with an off white/cream color head. A little overcarbonated, but not too overly carbonated. The flavor has a piney, resiney, citrusy balanced with a sweet caramel like maltiness. The finish is oily sweet leaving an aftertaste of bitter hopiness. Perfect balance of malts and hops. baraciisch (156), USA

Sensational hoppy flavor, but without the bitterness.... Highly recommended .... I got to go smash a hockey game, but if you like IPAs, smash this one.... You will love this....
