Oct 1, 2009 Bottle thanks to Butters. Clear amber red with a loose off white foam. Light lacing. Nicely resinous aroma, bits of citrus. The taste is caramel, toffee, fruity apples, finish of more pine resin and a sturdy bitter finish.

Sep 30, 2009 Bottle. Aroma is perfect of nice citrus and pine. Pours the typical cloudy amber with thin white head. The taste just doesnt stand out. I think the hops blend too well and just cancel each other out to where all that is left is the resin flavor. Like I said, the aroma is great but the flavor is nothing special.

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle at woody’s. Pours a clear dark amber with sticky off white ring of head and lacing. Nose of caramel and citrus hops. Flavor is balanced earthy hops and earthen malts that quickly leaves a very bitter resiny finish. Good chewy body. Not the best hop project, but very nicely done.

Sep 7, 2009 Updated: Sep 29, 20094 Pak from Kroger. Pours a very nice reddish amber with a retentive ebony head. Aroma is of fruity esters and floral hops, almost like fruit loops cereal. Malt profile is similar to #19, caramel malts with some hints of toasted malts and nuts. Like the previous version, the hop bitterness has that leafy oregano and celery thing going on- which means this was released a tad early. Some hop varieties are not at their peak fresh. I am going to sit on the other three for about two weeks and get back to this. UPDATE: A few weeks to meld did not do this one any favors. This one’s sort of a dud.

Sep 6, 2009 Tasted in a sampler at the Yazoo taproom on 9/5/09.
I cant quite put my finger on it but this really didnt seem like a good effort. There wasnt much balance to this beer. It was bitter tart. Aroma was the usual suspects. Its like any other IPA, but not balanced.

Sep 3, 2009 Pours a beige head with a little lacing and a clear, copper body. Aromas of citrus, floral, and spicy hops. Flavor is the same. Finish has some bitterness but is juicy.
