Can, misty foggy cloudy, tawny yellowish reddish orange with a beige sandy toneless head. Hints of mandarin satsuma & tangerine on the nose. Palate is mouthcating warming antiseptic analeptic & consolatory. On the tongue it starts off as a heady intoxicating alcoholic inebriating spirit. A bitter treacle, molasses sorghum sauce and cloying maple corn syrup. So rude, so obnoxious; unpleasant disagreeable nasty distasteful offensive objectionable unsavory unpalatable & off-putting. What else can be said except its awfully terribly and dreadfully on style! Think canned fruit cocktail, with tons of grain alky. As a cheap pale lager lover, can somebody please serve me up an ice cold pale macro light for a chaser, whew. My taste buds have been ruined for at least an hour. This was one big can of syrupy despicable terribleness. At least its got a bold alky content to help me forget about this session. Thanks victory, yer a dictatorial valedictorian. I'll give it an extra point for the alky content.

Can 355ml @ Bishops Arm - Göteborg Plaza. Pours orange with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of artificial pineapple juice and lots of sugar. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long artificial pineapple finish. Body is medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft to flat. I don´t know what this is but beer is a stretch. Impressively little bitterness for an DIPA.

Notes from May 2009 Half gallon growler from Whole Foods. $10.99 for the fill. Poured into a plastic cup while sitting in a lawn chair with the Mets finishing up another good one in the background. Pours a clear, but less then vibrant, washed out bronze. Dollop of creme on top. Smell is predominately bread pudding & grainy crackers. It trails off with the smell of sticky beer residue. Taste is mainly composed of honey wheat bread & plain Cheerios. Yeast from middle to end, with a very mild(but still refreshing), leafy bite of bitterness. Finish is a trail of Euro-like caramelization & dry wheat. Carbonation is prickly at first, but fell off considerably on my taller pours. Alcohol is there, but only moderately aggressive. An okay lazy afternoon beer. Missing that second gear though.

Notes from October 2011 On-tap at Hop Devil Grill. Happy hour+ taco Tuesdays make it worth visiting again. :) Pint glass. Clear, copper color. Soft, off white inch of foam. Nothing special. Toasty, leafy green, with an ever so slight scent of margarine. Dry & toasty taste/texture. Bitter greens. Slightly nutty & sweet. Numbing finish. Frothy feel. Moderately bitter. Pretty solid. Goes well with all this chorizo I've ingested. :)
