Bottle from De Bierliefhebber. Fruity piney hop aroma with malt, citrus, pine resin, grapefruit, orange, grass, a floral touch, and spruce. Light to moderate sweet flavour with a firm bitterness. Body is medium. Such a re-revelation to drink a truly classic bitter piney West Coast IPA in the hazecraze era.

Bottle @home. Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma colore cappuccino media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di cioccolato fondente, nocciola, caffè, leggera liquirizia. In bocca è rotonda, con un inizio abboccato e un finale amaro lungo e persistente a bilanciare. Corpo pieno, carbonazione media. Splendida.

Notes from 1/10/2009 Brought back from Boston in September. Lazy me left it the fridge at least. Chunks of yeast breaking off the bottom as I heavy-handily reach for the bottle opener. Awww shit, a gusher. : - Fifteen yard penalty. I mop up, & pour ever so gently into my Ommgang flute chalice. A muddy orange body, with an inch of egg-beater white whispy head. Soft, uniform, micro-beaded lace. Smell is big on tangerine zest, sticky residual sugars, pine, & a little aerosol. Pretty juicy on the initial taste. Lots of rind bitterness & zesty sweetness all the way through. It finishes a little drier, showing some dusty malt, but the orange/grapefruit rind bitterness lingers quite a bit. Carbonation is pretty low, but the beer isn't sticky. Alcohol punches a little harder then I thought it would. If this was in twelve ouncers, I think I'd eye a sixer every now & then.

Churchkey on a cold day. Light too-fresh cheesiness on the nose. Woody, wintergreen herbal, toasty grilled cheese. Firstly Herbaceous, light citrus pith plays second fiddle, astringent white grapefruit middle, Simcoe husky with a touch of white onion, sharp malt streaking down the tail. Classic West Coast with a bit of extra astringency. Abv is right on point. Drinky drink is nice & dry. Great.

Can 440ml from Total Wine Cupertino drunk after eating at Waldeslust with my parents. It's also shutting down soon due to its building being turn down so that's a bit of deja vu after hearing about RB. Interesting: I find no date anywhere on the can. Hope it's not too old. Lightly hazy gold, moderate head. Nose is quite nice with caramel and citrus but also a bit of tropical background. Flavor is good, hints of apricot, big smooth light-piney bitterness and it's relatively dry. Very nice West Coast beer!

2008 vintage bottle, finally opened. This one was old when we bought it 10 years ago. Cheers, T. Can't believe how well this has held up over the years. Very dark brown pour, quick fading head. Nice nose with lots of bourbon barrel, caramel, graham cracker. Smooth taste, dense toasty malts, soft vanilla. Such smooth, and wonderful flavor to this. Bonus points for holding such greatness for 16 years. Incredible beer. See you guys in May!
