Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy orange-caramel color with a large creamy orange-white head that lingered and left excellent lacing. The aroma was tangy, bitter and a bit tart with notes of pine and orange. The flavor was bitter and tangy pine, nut, caramel, resin, black pepper and orange. Long tangy finish of pine, nut, black pepper and caramel. Moderately full bodied. Interesting.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks David Cohen. Bottled about a year ago, but was kept in the Dancing Camel cooling room for quite a while. Slightly hazy golden. Aroma of somewhat stale hops with floral and citric notes. Rather dry flavor with light sweetness, some fruitiness and a bitter finish with floral and grapefruity hops. Medium-bodied. Quite refreshing.

1Liter flip top thanks to JohnGalt1 pours out a cloudy amber/orange topped with a off white head. Aroma was of sweet caramel, grapefruit peel, and pine hops. Taste was more of the sweet caramel and bitter hops. A decent malt to try to pull this thing in from being a hop trip.

IF you are an IPA lover, please overlook my numbers as I rate by how much I enjoy the brew, not by style. This stuff was tremendously ON STYLE! Big thanks to Scott at the Pgh RB gathering 12/09, and I hope he’ll forgive me on this. Mild hop resin aroma mixed with fresh pine sap. Big bitter pine sap flavors intially coat the palate. Way too much for a lager lover. Wew! Big beer with a big personality. Strong and oily, did somebody forget to rinse the dishsoap out of my glass? Long bitter linger that makes me take a half hour break before I can taste anything. No detectable carbonation to speak of but what was probably there was shocked out of my senses by the overwhelming flavors of green grapefruit rinds. If you love IPA or DIPA, you better arrange a trade for this beauty!
