Aug 26, 2006 Bottle pours a hazy light amber witha nice full creamy head. Aroma is sweet brown sugary malty and hoppy and some alcohol. Flavor is intensely bitter and fumey. The characteristic alcohol burn as it goes down and the warming sensation eminating from my upper torso tells me this is a strong brew. The malt flavor is a bit woody and papery I thought but the hops rip you back to reality by the scruff of your neck demanding your undividing attention. It warrants it. Lingering earthy bitterness, and a moderate carbonation.

Aug 26, 2006 12oz Bottle pours out a nice amber with a white head. WOW what a kick. ok so 11.7% I was ready for it but not quit I guess. After a few more drinks i could start to tast the hops. Thanks Indiana_Red

Aug 25, 2006 Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells of oranges, mangos, pineapple and dough. Tastes bitter with lots of earthy hop elements and alcohol burn. Not much else going on here as the hops don’t blend well on the palate. I wish it tasted as good as it smells.

Aug 25, 2006 Wow, this is an incredibly agressive beer. Loads of alcohol and loads of hops. Also has a bit of a syrupy sweetness. While I appriciate this beer, the strong flavor quickly wears on my palate and can’t drink but so much

Aug 24, 2006 Updated: Jan 14, 2009I’m glad I got ahold of a bottle of this, brown/orange colour to it, strong hop aroma, almost a bit pine, lovely hop taste, and pretty good.

Aug 23, 2006 Pours a cloudy amber with cascading bubbles and a pillowy beige head. Aroma of doughy malts and some citrusy hops. This is insanely hoppy and bitter, but at the same time extremely sweet. There’s a real candy sugariness to it, like Twizzlers on crack or something. This sweetness along with the strong alcohol warmth somewhat drowns out the hop character. There’s potential to be great, but I don’t think the single hopping of Phoenix is the right character this beer needs. Sure it’s cliche, but some C-hops would fit the bill. Still a pretty good beer, but it seems lacking.
