Oct 21, 2006 Bomber; nose with faint hops mixed with fruit, caramel, and citrus; orange with a small pale yellow head; flavor of spicy fruit mixed with caramel malt, all in a very thick body; light alcohol notes trail into a late arriving hop bitterness. This has a light barleywine flavor, more than an IIPA. Is this a BARLEYWINE IPA cross?

Oct 18, 2006 22 oz bottle. Enjoyed on Strong Ale brew day with Scott alone. Hazy orange with a thick medium sized head. Jolly ranchers come to mind at first sniff. Passion fruit, pineapple and candy like malty caramel as well. Sticky malt caramel with wonderfully layered hops. Citrus, pineapple and other tropical fruit moving into citrus peal and great pine sap flavors. Just delicious. Some alcohol notes. Body is full with a dry finish and just the right amount of carbonation. I have no idea why more people did not enjoy this. Great Brew!

Oct 18, 2006 Pours a fiery copper color with a dense eggshell head. Very nice citrusy aroma with notes of booze and malts. Fairly full body and sticky on the tongue. A decent amount of caramel with huge bitterness in the aftertaste that lingers for quite a while. Lot’s of alcohol in the finish too. I bet this would be nice in a couple of years. It seems to be a little young right now.

Oct 10, 2006 Pours dull opaque orange with a mountainous head. Lightly sweet tropical aroma with pineapple and strawberry. Weird woody and earthy flavor with notes of green apple. Very bitter, perhaps too bitter. Lean malt flavor with some caramel. The hops have some spicy Styrian Goldings similarities. I would be interested to know the yeast used. Instead of an IPA, I might call this a Triple Bitter. Distinct, though unbalanced.

Oct 9, 2006 Dark copper with huge off white head, great lacing. Aroma has a huge citrus/carribean fruit character. Lots of orange, tangerine and melon. Huge malt background. Up front has a nice caramel kick, then the flavor is all downhill. Huge alcohol and metallic like finish. Very dissapointed. Maybe this is a bad bottle, maybe I will revisit, I don’t know.

Oct 7, 2006 a very fine brew, one of the better ones from weyerbacher. grassy aroma with a hugely bitter body, it is quite drinkable.
