Nice somewhat hazy blondish coloured body with an orange tint and a super-large off-white head. Aroma of pale malt, fresh high a.a. hops, peaches and some light yeast & caster sugar. Medium-bodied; Nice strong hop flavour up front with a good amount of pale malt and a pleasant fruity characteristic towards the end. Overall, a good beer - one of the best in the style i’ve had. Aside from being a bit over-carbonated, it was a nice beer to try! I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from a liquor shop in Haddonfield, New Jersey by Phil (haddon90) sampled on 25-December-2005.

Very hazy dark brown coloured body, very opaque with a super dense tan head that tops the beer so perfectly. Aroma of roasted malt, figs, stale hops, nuts and some toffee - not great but not horrible. Medium-bodied; Strong malty taste showing a good character with some hops and a good nuttiness that ends the beer. Alcohol is noticeable but not much overpowering. Aftertaste shows some lighter malt and a bit of the nuts. Overall, a decent beer - a bit odd for a holiday seasonal - but good to try. I sampled this one year old 75 cL bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 24-December-2005.

Bottle from Chevy Chase Liquors, Washington
The bottle was leaking a few drops during the flight, anyway the original carbonation was preserved, and in the end it doesn’t seem to have suffered it; but I let it settle only for one day.
It pours a hazy (later cloudy) amber color, with a big stiff head. It has some caramel flavor, medium body, some hop aroma, more hop flavor, little hop resins, in all a correct bitterness. Quite good.

Pours cloudy mahogany into a snifter. Sickly head. Oak and alcohol-soaked towels. Sharp and sour turning to a cloying alcohol burn. Not pleasant.

Bottle from Oak Tree Discount Wines & Spirits in South Plainfield, NJ. This brew is a hazy golden color with a very thick and fizzy white head that burns away steadily. Spiderwebs of lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine and perfumy hops, along with a bit of tart fruit. Medium-bodied with a good amount of carbonation. The flavor is floral and perfumed hops with notes of pine and light malt. The finish is moderately bitter hops with fruit in the background. The beer improves as it warms, however it never seems to fully come together.

A very well hopped stout. Heavily carbonated for the style, it exploded from the bottle. Black color. Flavor and aroma of heavily roasted malt with some coffee and chocolate. Average but good enough. No notable flaws.

Pours hazy gold into a tumbler. Bright white micro head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Mild citrus and spice aromas. Crisp and funky with a lasting, slightly watered spiced orange finish. Best I’ve had from Cisco so far.

Pours amber into a shaker. Extremely active from a gentle pour. Fluffy off-white head top hats the rim and does not recede. Pine and resin aromas. Strangely soft, yet over-carbonated with good balance upfront and a lasting grapefruit finish. Appearance and palate definitely detracted.

Big thanks to puzzl for the opportunity to taste this one! Good attractive bready yeasty dough aroma. Pale orange and brownish with a slight haze. Interestingly bitter on the initial taste but not excessive. Yes, hoppy bitter, but not quite IPA territory. Surprisingly good creamy carbonation. Lingering hop bitter finish.

Nice deep ruby tinted copper coloured body with a nice dense tan head. Very pleasant aroma of fresh west-coast hops, citrus, pine cones, apricots and even a bit more fresh hops. Medium-bodied; Assertive meaty hoppy taste up front leaves things bittered, with a potent malt backbone and strong alcohol notes make for a great taste. Aftertaste shows a ton of bitterness from the hops with a bit of a sweet taste from apricots and some grapefruit. Overall, a very nice IPA - definitely one to sample if you can find it! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors on 03-May-2008 in Washington, D.C. drunk on 19-May-2008.
