Bottled. Tasted blind. A hazy amber beer with a lazing orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of grass, citrus, and malt. The flavor is swweet malty with notes of citrus and grapefruit. I find the body thin.

Labeled Y2k, provided by Dickinsonbeer at Madness@the Moose YEHA. This must be from either 99 or 2000 but it has done very well for an IPA. Pours with a big head and am orange body, sticky lacing. Aroma is a light dusty hoppiness, not strong but pleasantly there. Behind that is some aged maltiness. Taste is aged hops that are light liy sweet combining with a sticky sweetness both from aged hops and a caramel maltiness. Nice stuff, thanks Paul.

Plain. A little old maybe? The hop presence was light, far too light for an ipa. Some malt sweetness and faint hops in the flavor.

Vintage date: 7/24/03. Poured into a shaker -- mounds of foam that would not stop producing -- came over the side and piled on the table. Finally receded with thick lacing. Dark amber/ruby appearance. Deep spruce/grass notes. Thick. Tastes like an imperial. Well balanced, but caramel is primary- then turning hoppy. Medium bitter finish.

750mL bottled 1/7/2004 Striking color immediately noticeable as it is being poured. One of the deepest, brightest and most appealing mixes of burnished copper, fiery orange and brilliant gold that I’ve seen in a beer. Large amounts of beige head that lasts to the end of the beer and creates ample lacing. Huge amount of sediment left over, creating a good amount of haziness in the beer. Aroma continues to impress; a juicy, fruity, light citrus hops flavor is just bursting out of the glass. Not overly dry or bitter, but has sweet orange liqueur notes, candied peaches, ruby red grapefruits and behind all this lurks a perfect amount of rich, classic caramel malt. Flavor, as I know have expected, is fantastic as well. Begins with juicy hops, light orange and grapefruit notes, but flavorful as opposed to just astringent or bitter. Caramel malt is perfectly wedded to the hops, with a light chewiness. Finishes medium-dry with caramel/toffee and light herbal/grass notes. Candied orange notes linger on the palate. Carbonation is perfect, that is to say, it has a light bubbly effect on the palate that keeps the beer lively and deceptively light, though the body is medium-full with no traces of thinning. Sadly, after the beer had warmed and breathed, there were distinct notes of raw alcohol in both the aroma and flavor, which did bother my experience somewhat. Had it not been for that, this might very well have been a 5. And I don’t even like IPAs that much!

2002 vintage shared with Bucknaked 4/30/2005. Aroma is still very hoppy, though the caramel has taken over quite a bit. There are still some dry, lightly bitter tangerine notes. Flavor has gone a quite down the hill, too much oxidation it seems, which I thought it odd, being only 3 years old and in a large bottle. Cardboardy somewhat, dry and chewy yeast presence, with some muddled caramel and sugar flavors. Not much in the way of hops left, though it isnt really BAD aside from the oxidation. 8/5/6/4/15 Above rating is an average of the two.

Reddish brown ale with an off-white head. Fuzzy hops aroma, pinous and earthy. Fresh sweet malts and raisins, vinous, with good restrained hop finish. Close to a barley wine. Good rich bodied. Very nice. Bottle sampled with TiggMtl, MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.
