22 ounce bottle. Bright amber orange color. Medium-sized rocky beige head.Subtle fruity malt nose. Nice toasted malt flavor has a spicy bitter hop backdrop. Notes of toasted hazelnuts and burnt caramel. Spicy hops are somewhat subdued for a DIPA. Pleasant drinking, but just average for the style.

4oz pour at Max’s Hop Fest 2013. Pours a burnt orange with zero head. Nose is sweet, pears, apple, lemon, malt. Piney flavor, grapefruit, lemon, malt, caramel, brown sugar. Bitter finish. Could probably be bumped up in both hopping and malt.

The brewer dropped this one off at my local in a mason jar. Clear amber color, medium white head. Aroma of pine, grass, subtle herb. Taste has a malty start, but decent balance, with spice and light pine. Not bad..

8.1
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5

Location: Tap at Gilly's, 1/13/10

Aroma: Aroma of citrus hops, pine, resin, some caramel, a bit of tobacco, and yeast
Appearance: Pours an amber color with a beige head that really lasts
Flavor: Taste is definitely on the bitter side, earthy, bit of citrus sweetness upfront, long bitter finish
Palate: The body is relatively full, didn't taste the alcohol much at all, nice mouthfeel
Overall Impression: This is a really nice DIPA from Lancaster. It is certainly on the bitter side, but very tasty. I liked it a lot. I feel it is a bit ironic that I am drinking this beer on the day the great Joe Bugel retires. As the o-line coach of the hogs, he was truly the Boss Hog. This one is for you, Buges!
