Poured from a 12 oz. can into a chalice. Canned on 05/19/2016.

Appearance: Pours a bright golden orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. Big two finger off white head which settles into a thin creamy layer.

Smell: A juicy and earthy hop forward aroma with a scent of citrus and grass. Citrus hop scent of grapefruit, orange peel, lemon, tangerine, and pineapple. Earthy and floral hop hints of grass and pine. Malt hints of caramel, grains, and cracker with some yeast. A pretty solid aroma.

Taste: Like it smells, a juicy and earthy hop driven taste with notes of citrus and grass. Citrus hop notes of orange peel, grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon along with pineapple. Also some earthy and floral hops with some grass and pine. Backing pale malt notes of caramel, cracker, and grains along with yeast. A pretty nice taste.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Crisp, juicy, and smooth with a drying finish.

Overall: A pretty solid IPA. Nice citrus and earthy hop notes.

Revolution Brewing Company - Anti-Hero IPA. 6.5% ABV. 12oz can poured into a snifter. Canned on 2/1/16.

Look: Settles a hazy orange color, with lots of floaties. Head is about one finger sized white, bubbly foam, which settles into a bubbly ring.

Smell: Bready malt up front, along with some hops, and tons of sweet citrus fruit.

Feel: Medium bodied, with lots of lively carbonation, and easily drinkable.

Taste: Bready malt balanced by bitter hops, along with more of the sweet, juicy citrus fruits. Finishes about the same, malt and bitter hops.

Overall: Great balanced IPA, with lots of hop bitterness, but also malt sweetness, and tons of fruit profile. Finishes crisp and dry, with great drinkability.

Poured from 12 oz can into tulip glass

A - A vibrant golden body and thick, foamy white head. Moderate lacing.

S - Tropical pineapple, fresh flowers, grapefruit rind, and lemon.

T - Pineapple and citrus hop flavors dominate from the get-go. Then, a rush of sugar cookie malt sweetness. The finish is mildly bitter with cloying sweetness lingering on the tongue.

M - a fairly hefty body gives the beer a creamy mouthfeel. Good carbonation.

O - The hop aromas and flavors are superb and inviting. However, the overly saccharine malt just overwhelms the tasting. A drier finish could make this an epic beer.

Was honestly disappointed by this IPA. Very overrated as people in Chicago go NUTS over it. Very average IPA over-hyped by silly ChiTown beer drinkers.

Pours a clear copper reddish color with a three finger head in a Spiegelau glass. Carbonation bubbles from the bottom.

Aroma: earthy citrus, Pine, spice. Mosaic?

Very carbonated.

I don't get a strong fruit taste, however with warming there is more citrus. It seems that the hoppiness in the beer dwarfs the citrus taste.

The beer finishes with an excellent bitter and spicy hoppiness.

Highlights of this beer: earthy, spicy hoppy character. Excellent beer, although I would have preferred a stronger fruit taste.

Aroma: Floral hop aroma up front with a light and pleasant citrus character. Hints of orange and lemon and a hint of pine. Fermentation character is clean with all the trappings of a hopped up American IPA.

Appearance: Deep copper pour with a medium white head that retains well. Appears still in the glass. Lacings cling to the glass.

Flavor: Big floral and citric hop punch up front. Just a hint of caramel sweetness that is quickly subdued by the big citrus hop flavor and bitterness. Balance is firmly bitter. Finish is clean and dry.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with medium high carbonation. A hint of hop derived astringency and just a touch of alcohol heat.

Overall impression: Immensely drinkable and loaded with tons of hop character. I love this beer. Great example of the style.

Extra from MCain04 - I've heard some good things about Revolution, so needless to say, I was excited to try this. Plus, can. Awesome. Pours a mostly cloudy, orange-crusted amber color with an eggshell cap that only grows to about a half-inch even after an aggressive pour. Lacing is minimal and pretty spotty, with only a few traces near the top of the glass.

Anti Hero has a largely floral nose; very perfumey, like leaves or flower pedals. Some gentle grapefruit thrusts about in the background, combining for a sweet, grassy, hop and fruit combination. If I had to guess, I'd say this was loaded with Centennial hops - the nose reminds me just a bit of a hometown favorite, Two Hearted. The hop assault is held up nicely by some solid, malty pillars; biscuits, butter, with just the slightest touch of caramel. I haven't taken a sip yet, but the aroma just screams "well-rounded".

My suspicions are confirmed shortly after taking my first sip - a very balanced attack of hops and malt that follows the nose quite closely. A good bit of grapefruit hits up front, backed-up by a brilliant floral and rosey hop profile. This thing tastes like grapefruit perfume. Little bits of pine squeeze their head into the very back end; wet and grassy with the smallest hint of white pepper. I might be getting some tangerine with the grapefruit as well, though maybe I'm just imagining that.

The malt stands up admirably to the attack of hops without buckling or backing down. Biscuits, crackers, bread, butter, and a small mention of toasted caramel malt. The light, injected sweetness couples perfectly with the brash hop bitterness to create a magnificent balance all-around. Finish is dry and full of a musky, faded floral essence. Medium bodied with carbonation that seemed a bit low for an IPA, although it didn't really hinder the experience at all. Slick, oily, and wet on the palate.

Absolutely no idea why, but I was expecting this to be a citrus bomb. It wasn't at all, rather it was an excellent display of how a superbly balanced IPA can be just as good as the ones that are thrown out of kilter with Citra hops. Reminds me quite a bit of Two Hearted in terms of hopping profile. Genuinely enjoyed this one and I'd like to have some more if it ever made its way to Michigan.

This is a nice and pleasantly malty IPA. I don't say that often. A sweet but not cloying taste on the palate but the hops ease in and bite you ate the end. A hoppy, almost sessionable IPA.

(Served in an American pint glass)

A- This beer pours a crystal clear deep orange body with a thin patchy foam of big bubbles on top supported by a strong carbonation of big bubbles.

S- The aroma is very clean with some faint metallic hop coming through and turning more green as it warms.

T- The soft taste of water blends with some brown nougat that turns more caramel nougat as the beer warms. There are some notes of toasted malt underneath and a strong pine hop bite in the finish. There is a soft green hop note that lingers a bit after each sip and has a light sulfury taste or carbonic acid taste.

M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a tight fizz finish and no alcohol heat.

D- This beer is pretty clean but I was surprised by the amount of hops in this beer compared to the much softer malt and watery taste.

Pours a amber goldish color with a nice white head covering it, and leaving behind a decent lacing.
An amber caramel malt aroma is quite welcoming.
The taste is sweet caramel malts with hints of light hops.
And the after taste was slightly dry with a nice sweet edge to it.

Had on tap at The Library in Albuquerque, NM. Great brew, especially compared to everything else they had there. Pours a solid amber color (duh) and goes down smooth, a tinge bitter but nothing too crazy. Smooth well carbonated and it smells great, I'd probably have it again. Never even knew about this beer and compared to other beer in this category there isn't much to make it a stand out per say but I'd definitely try it again if it's on-tap.

Amber color and very clear. White head with very good retention.

Nice and malty aroma with a hint of earthy hops.

Medium bodied with a great malt flavor. Sweet up front with a bit of toast. Malty sweet with herbal and earthy hops toward the middle, and toasted, earthy finish.

A great session beer. Not anything to rave about but I could spend the whole night drinking these.

12 oz. bottle tried 28 Feb 2011. Served in the ~0.5 L Marble becker.

Medium sized tight off white head. Moderate carbonation. Clear dark copper/rust color. Aroma is a touch floral, sweet tart pears and apples. Starts sweet and malty. Touch of apples. Very light bitter finish. Medium body, minimal ethanol.

Thirst quenching but that's about it.

Serving Type - Bottle

Appearance - Burnt yellow, dark tan, 1/2 inch creamy head and lots of sticky lacing.

Smell - Hops, orange, some lemon, pine, grapefruit. Mild malts, and a little alcohol.

Taste - First sip is hoppy with a strong malt backbone. Has a artifical hop extract flavor that comes out in the finish. Added sugars counter the bitterness and overpower it some. Lots of citric fruits, pine, orange, grapefruit. Caramel nutty malts really come out after beer warms.

Mouthfeel - Hops coat tounge with bitterness, malts add caramel and boldness. Palate gets sugars, hops and more malts. Aftertaste is sweet, hoppy and sugary.

Overall - Decent, added hop oils and extracts adds a fake flavor i cant ignore. Its not as hop heavy as most dipas either. Malts add a real strong caramel flavor that works well with the added suagrs. A decent attempt for a dipa but nothing special.

And with its deep amber hue and a charged hazy appearance, the beer simply appears as honey. Even a turbulent pour amounts to a medium stature of foam which retains moderately and laces even so. The love of color is tempered by lackluster head character.

Fruit, caramelized sweetness, and herbs are all present in the nose. While starting sweet with caramel, the beer's aroma develops toward woodish pine, fragrant citrus, and an earthy counterpart that reminds me of fresh field-torn tobacco.

Citrus laden caramels hit the early palate, and does so with the balanced brunt of oranges pith, grapefruit, wet grass, and straight-up caramel. As the beer extends onto the middle palate, the sweetness waivers and starts to favor the pithy resinous of pine sap, and fragrant tree bark. Still, the sweet taste lingers and balances the beer ever so slightly in finish.

Full to medium-full, it's easy to read both IPA because of its early creamy dryness; yet the residual sweetness questions barleywine. But its the transition that the beer makes midstream that decides on dry malty textures that's favored over residual malt. A conclussion semi-clean hop bitterness closes the beer with clumsy malty-sweet texture.

There's a lot of the malt sweetness that causes me to read English IPA. But the level of hops and the proportion of supportive character speaks to American versions, the beer promotes strong strength for those who are undecided between malt and hops but prefer stronger taste.

Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.

While waiting for my anniversary growler at Lucky Monk this afternoon, a Leinie's rep offered to buy me a glass of this to enjoy to pass the time. I declined, but it was great to be offered. Good people sometimes... Anyway, this stuff pours a clear sunset amber topped by a finger of off-cream-foam. The nose comprises sharp pine needles, sweet caramel, grapefruit rind, and a hint of alcohol. The taste brings in more of the same, though the grapefruit is a tad brighter. The body is a light-leaning medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a lightly sticky finish. Overall, a pretty nice DIPA, nothing truly outstanding, but a definite win for Leinenkugel's.

Appearance: cloudy, copper color; very warm and rich; white head that dissipates pretty quick but retains a ring
Aroma: really malty; molasses; a bit of hop; hint of apple notes
Taste: molasses/sugary sweetness up front; big bready flavor; a bit of hops; moves into apple-y crispness and then into rich dried, dark fruit (prune and raisin maybe); finishes with a great hoppiness and fig; some alcohol warmth on the back end; finishes pretty dry
Mouthfeel: thick and kind of syrupy; well carbonated
Overall Impression: this is a nice beer; really well balanced; crisp, kind of clean feel; it's got a nice depth and a complexity of flavor to it that continues to develop as you drink it; the dryness welcomes another sip; quite drinkable, but one to sit back and really enjoy

12 ounce bottle - $3.49 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.

"NOV1912" on the bottle neck. I assume I haven't a second to waste!

Appearance: Pours an amber body with noted clarity underneath a foam layer, slightly yellowed.

Smell: Sugar encrusted toasted bread with floral, orangy notes from the hops (a slight candied, dried apricot fruitiness, too) and a slight whiff of alcohol.

Taste: Toasted, bready malts with a heavy pour of golden syrup and caramel. Large sweetness. Touch of dried apricot. Drizzle of orange oil with some comparatively easy-going resinous, floral qualities. Medium-plus bitterness, some heat from the alcohol. Sweetness slackens some, as does the body past the midway point, taking one an alcoholic sweet tea laced with citrus juice taste until the warming finish. There is a lingering bitterness, but, again, it's comparatively light when set against many IPA's, imperial or otherwise.

Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation. Some apparent stickiness to the mouthfeel.

Overall: While not exactly cloying, it's not what many people are looking for from a Double/Imperial India Pale Ale. Sorry, it just isn't.

12 oz bottle drank straight from the neck then to the Dogfish Head Pint glass for further inspection.

A: Dark amber orange. Thick cloudy appearance with light carbonation. It has a really nice thin white froth head that is resilient sip after mouthwatering sip. Well done.

S: Brown sugar malts jump off first. Sweet nectarines, blood orange, rose pedals. This is full of sweet hop varietals, 5 in total, with Warrior and Chinook hops springing forth through the crowd. No real trace of pine which you get with almost all double IPA's..strange.. but hey its all good.

T: This is a slightly spicier Lagunitas Brown Sugga clone. This has more malts, spice box, and peppery flourish than most DIPA's. This beer is coated with loads of residual sugar and tangerine fruit.

M: Creamy, smooth, full bodied deliciousness. A really well rounded chewy mouthfeel. NICE

O: This is my second Big Eddy series from Leinenkugel, there other being one of my top 5 stouts Their Oak Barreled Russian Imperial Bourbon Stout, and let me say DAMN GOOD JOB!

nothing else to report but this BUY THIS BEER...put your regular good old boys down and GET THIS NOW... you will thank me and your tastebuds later..

Appearance: It pours a hazy dark orange color and is topped with a thin layer 1/8” of white colored head that lingers.
Smell: The blend of hops in the aroma of this beer is excellent I get pine grass citrus all blended into one delicious sniff. Big Eddy maybe one of the best smelling beers that I can remember.
Taste: The flavor isn’t as distinctive and complex as the aroma but that would be a hard thing to live up to. There is a tasty balance to the flavor that makes it a good IPA just wish that the hops were more prominante.
Mouthfeel: This is on the heavy bodied side to most IPAs but it is still easy drinking without losing any flavor.

I feel at this time I can pretty much try any beer without a preconceptions. But I would be lying if there wasn’t something deep in my brain that had some questions before I popped this bottle open.

Any thoughts deep within my subconscious were immediately drowned out by this really amazing offering from Leinies. The nose is a dense cluster of citrus. I have had a few one note citrus IIPA's recently and I crave complexity. The nose has a number of distinct notes, grapefruit, slight orange, and maybe even a more pungent lemon. The smell carries almost perfectly over into the first part of the taste, which is actually pretty rare now that I think about it. Most beers tend to move on to other flavors, but I am glad this one let me really think about that citrusy nose. The flavors hang for some time before a really nice dank mouth rounds out the mouthfeel. God I love dank beers and this one isn't insanely dank, but still very forward.

If I am going to nitpick this brew, I think it could have handled almost a whole extra percent of ABV. I think the bottle said 8.2% and I wouldn’t have minded it sitting in the mid to low 9's. But that is really nitpicking.

Bravo to the brewers up in Chippewa Falls and their Big Eddy Series. Glad the folks down in Milwaukee let you off your leash because you are accomplishing some great things.

A side note - I refuse to rate appearance so every beer gets the same score as overall. Smell and taste are the only things that truly matter when rating a beer.

Served on tap in Big Eddy snifter. Deep red clear appearance with thin white head. The nose features an onslaught of pine, wood, resin, and grapefruit. Caramel malt backbone present. Taste is very malty with a swift kick of piny grapefruit hops. Lots of flavor, a touch on the boozy side. Mouthfeel is somewhat heavy. Overall, a vey well executed beer by Leinenkugels, too bad this isn't their m.o. Worth a try.

This beer poured out as a clear copper color with a white head on top. The head was white, it had a decent retention and it left a good lacing too. The smell of the beer is more malty than hoppy I think... The taste is moderately hoppy, it's got a bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is oily, it's thick and had a decent carbonation. Overall this beer is decent, it's not quite lively enough for an Imperial IPA. It's drinkable but not the best example of the style out there.

A - A very dark amber brown/copper with a 1/2 inch of mocha colored head. Like the sticky lacing on this it runs all throughout the pour.

S - Malty, caramel like with a musky grapefruit and a touch of bittering pine.

T - Not as malt forward as I expected yet not a hop bomb. Pleasant malty grapefruit balanced with caramel sweetness and a touch of pine in the finish. Palatable and tasty.

M - Medium bodied yet goes down easy enough.

Overall much better than the RIS and on par with the style like the Wee Heavy. Seems like these guys know what they are doing.

A – A caramel/orange colored body, light carbonation, with a yellow-white head. Nice looking 1 finger head. Great retention.

S – What a great smelling IPA. The hops smell really wonderful and diverse, there is also a fruity element to this, either a grapefruit or a pineapple.

T – Good, not amazing. Has a nice malty character to it that does not overshadow the hops but contribute to it in a very balanced manner. Both bitter and sweet at the same time. Extremely well-masked alcohol, and overall actually a very well crated IPA. It really gets better as it warms up a little bit too. But like I said, good, not amazing.

M – A nice medium body, with carbonation that lasts the whole way, has a nice mouth-feel.

O – Overall, Big Eddy made a damn fine IPA, very drinkable, very tasty, I would totally buy this again if I saw it.

Best by Oct 16, 2012 stamped in white on the bottle.

It pours a cloudy colour of rust/orange, with a tiny head of foam but it does leave some lacing behind.

Being close to the best by date, I'm getting a huge blast of caramel malt with light notes of read. No bitterness that reaches my nose buds.

The taste matches the smell. A huge malt presence with just a smallish hint of any hop bitterness. Even when I swish the beer in my mouth, I don't get the, now long faded I guess, hoppiness that's typical of a fresh Imperial IPA. And guess what? I'm DIGGING it! It reminds me of a well made Old Ale/Barleywine.

Close to full bodied, ample carbonation, smooth mouthfeel.

I would have loved to try and review a fresh sample but this, the way it is now, is very satisfying.

Part of a 4-pack, which I prefer over a bomber, so thank you Leinie's.
I like the hopping in this drink. It's fresh with some fruitiness and some citrus, but balanced out with more grass and herbal notes too. This bottle holds a more resin note, which I didn't notice on my previous bottle and something I can do without, but all in all it isn't too distracting or off-putting. It actually starts to blend into the malt character, which is kinda' nice. A solid but not amazing start.
Looks like a DIPA. Creamy tan head. Cloudy amber color.
Again, a little more resin in the flavor than I recall the first go around. But it fades and blends well. I'm enjoying the malt character of this one. Firm and solid and adding flavor and not just balancing out the hops. The hop flavors are strong and almost intense, but short lived and move quickly to the bitterness, which mimics that experience, but is less intense. The finish is more malt laden and is kinda' sweet. Hop flavors more than bitterness on the gentle ending.
Moderately high feel, but not overly big. Soft and reasonable smooth.
I liked my first bottle more than this one. I'll adjust scores if I find later bottles resemble the earlier one more than this. Temperature may be playing a part as I believe this one may be somewhat warmer. I like the blending and balance. I'm not fond of the resin quality which to me comes off as an unenjoyable aroma and taste.

Best by Dec. 10, 2012. The beer pours a hazy brown color with a white head. The aroma has some floral notes, as well as some toffee and bread notes. I also get a hint of orange citrus from the hops. The flavor is better than the aroma. I get orange citrus and some pine, as well as a little bit of perfume notes. There is a little bit of bitterness, but the hops mainly come through in the flavor. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. While the beer was drank within the period set by the best by date, it tastes a bit like it is old, with faded hops.

Light brown and dark copper color, small .3" head on the top of it, off white to light beige. Aroma, actually revealed a heavy malt presence, more than hops, but I should have thought about that possibility when the beer poured into the glass much darker than an imperial ipa should be according to my preferences.

Taste is relatively well balanced, the hops don't scream out at you unfortunately, but it has a thick body, chewy ambiance, adequate hopping to balance all of that out. But I don't really want balance in an imperial ipa, I want hops. The hops here don't really seem to impart much in the way of flavor, just some bitterness that is absorbed by the chunky toffee and caramel interior. Hides the alcohol decently. Good amount of sweetness from all the crystal malt probably.

I dunno, for being hopped 5 times, I would say go back and hop it 12 times then.

12 oz.

Pours a deep amber gold with an off-white film for a head.

Smells of honey, floral and pine hops, and grapefruit.

Tastes of honey, orange citrus, piney hops, grapefruit, and rich bready malts. The hops are flavorful but not overly bitter.

Full, slightly syrupy body with prickly carbonation on the roof of the mouth.

This is a really good, flavorful double IPA. Hits all the right notes and is very tasty. Doesn't do anything daring, but does the stuff it's supposed to well. I'd drink this often.

The taste is so average. It actually did taste slightly flat, which brings up freshness issue. However, I have to go with what I have. This review may be adjusted later when I get the most recent batch.

The aroma was slightly off-putting, and it doesn't have the typical IPA aroma. The appearance did seem good with dark copper color. The mouthfeel was fairly decent, but it did taste a bit watery, and not as malty as I'd like it be for an Imperial IPA.

It's not a terrible beer, but with the tough competition out there, it's hard for me justify giving this one higher score. I did like Big Eddy Russian Imperial Stout and the Wee Heavy Scotch Ale very much, and I think this IPA is the weakest beer of those three I've tasted.

Poured from bottle into snifter

Appearance – Pours a beautiful deep ruby red/deep amber color. Upon pouring there is only a tiny tannish head that forms. The head fades very fast to leave only a lingering film on the top of the brew. Swirling the beer in the snifter shows a very sticky and thick body as it clings to the side of the glass before reseeding back to the pool of beer.

Smell – The aroma is very bready with a strong presence of a caramel sweetness and some roasted aromas. The hop aromas are very light with only a small amount of citrus detected in the nose. Other then the citrus hop is a warming alcohol and dark fruit smell, which give this brew more of a doppelbock aroma then that of an IPA.

Taste – A doughy taste is the first to be detected by the tongue. This is mixed with some sweeter flavors of a caramel. As the taste moves on hop tastes start to work their way in as some of the caramel flavor fades. The hop which are in the taste are largely citrus in nature and arrive with some lighter dark cherry and raisin sweetness. Soon the citrus hop drown out the dark fruits as they become more potent toward the end. At the end a doughy and grapefruit hop are left in the taste, but not without a strong presence of alcohol which when combined with the hop leaves a somewhat burning tingle on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – Quite full bodied with a very chewy feel. The carbonation on this one is rather low. Both the thickness and carbonation are quite fitting for the brew as they allow all the bready, grapefruit and boozy flavors to linger on the tongue and warm you through and through.

Overall – It is a thick and hearty IPA. Definitely a sipping IPA.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams "Perfect Pint" glass.

Appearance: Pours a deep and somewhat murky amber with some ruby red. Lots of bubbles and a big four finger off white head with good retention. Leaves a lot of lacing sticking to the glass.

Smell: Aroma is big on citrus hop esters. Ripe citrus with hints of grapefruit, orange peel, pineapple, mango, apricot, and lemons. Some grassy hops and spicy pine resin. Nice malt scent with a fairly sweet bready presence. Hints of caramel, toffee, biscuit, and a little toast. The citrus fruit esters are the dominate note here. Smells big and juicy.

Taste: Like the smell indicates, a big taste of citrus fruit esters with a nice sweet bready backbone. Ripe and bitter citrus hops with big notes of orange, grapefruit, apricot, mango, pineapple, and lemon. Subtle grass and some spicy piney hops. Solid background of sweet malts. Taste of toasted bread, caramel, toffee, and biscuit. Really nice fruit flavors. On the sweeter side for a Imperial IPA.

Mouthfeel: Full body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Rich, juicy, and somewhat sticky and oily. Alcohol is hidden well.

Overall: A pretty good IPA. Veers to the sweeter side but not quite enough to be overly sweet. Nice juicy citrus hop flavors.

Pours a caramel root beer color, with  a minimal head that falls quickly to almost no head.
Smells slight. Pine at first, then, ? A hint of fruit, maybe.
The taste is a little better (meaning much like the smell). Balanced with the malt, this is a smooth blend of the five hops involved here as according to the bottle's label. And I taste some fruit, but all through the dominant malt as I feared.
A bit tangy, not overly bitter on the finish, but also sour to me.
I doubt I'd revisit this brewery's take on an imperial ipa. Quite a sweet ending finish, but with the malt dominating the hops. The color upon the pour should have told me so. Not a fan as I hoped to be. Am I wrong in expecting a DIPA to cater to hop heads? This may as well have been an attempt at an amber/red ale.

Best buy Nov 2012. Copper orange in color with a slight haze. Poured with a brief off-white foam that quickly disappeared. Fairly balanced, but intense aromas of caramel malt and ripe citrus hops with earthy, musty pine notes in the background. Slick, oily feel on the tongue as the carbonation pushes upward. Intense caramel malt flavor up front with a spicy hop tanginess. Floral and herbal hop flavors ride the malt wave through the middle with a hint of ripe orange. Hop flavors turn to bitter pine at the finish that lingers for a bit. This should be called an inverted DIPA as the intense maltiness subdues the various hop flavors and characters.

Pours amber/orange with 2 fingers of cream colored head. Below average head retention & lacing

S: Pineyness, pineapple, passion fruit, & ruby red grapefruit; stellar nose!

T: Grapefruit, pineyness, pineapple, dryness & a touch of breadyness up front. Big pineyness, grapefruit, a kiss of booze warmth as this beer warms. Finishes grapefruitty, piney, with a bit of pineapple & woody dryness

MF: Medium/heavy bodied, firm carbonation, very good balance

Super DIPA, this blows away every other Leine beer I've ever had by leaps & bounds, well done!

Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass.

Look - reddish amber color, with good carbonation and about two fingers' worth of frothy light khaki-colored foam that dissipates somewhat slowly.

Smell - fruity and definitely hoppy smelling. The back end of the taste seems to have some light smell like lemon or lime.

Taste - very much like the smell. It's definitely hoppy, which suits the type, but also has a fruity element that strikes you right at the beginning. The hops take over, and then there's that lighter taste that comes in around the finish.

Mouthfeel - pretty well balanced, not leaning too far on the creamy or watery sides.

Overall - not a bad brew at all, and decently interesting as well.

2012 release. 12oz bottle, pours copper with stunning clarity, creamy beige head holds good retention and also leaves good lacing down the glass. Aromas are caramel malt, dank hops, seems sweet on the nose. Tastes are sweet caramel, juicy sweetened grapefruit, mild pine, honey. Body is medium with ample carbonation, finishes a little on the sweet side. Overall, not the best DIPA out there, but I did really enjoy this one. I do prefer a bit more pine and bitterness in my DIPA, where this one was more sweet, but it was still good though.

12 oz. bottle, with no apparent bottled on date present. A new winter seasonal to me from Tyranena Brewing Co., acquired as part of a mixed six pack at the local Binny's. Expectations are about average, but I'm going in unbiased. No abv listed on the bottle.

Poured into a clear balloon snifter.

A - Pours a caramel amber colored body with about a half finger conjuration of off-white head that falls within seconds. Body is a dark ruby in the glass, with some okay clarity. Conjures some nice foam when swirled in the glass.

S - Smell is pretty tame, but hits it's mark, I suppose. Some buttery diacetyls, grainy corn, roasted hazelnuts & earthy peanuts, and butterscotch / toffee. Smells good, but the adjunct-smelling corn is throwing me off just a bit.

T - Taste follows the nose: creamy buttery diacetyls, caramel malt, grainy corn husk, earthy woodiness, subtle chocolate / cocoa nuances, and salty roasted hazelnuts / peanuts.

M - Feel is smooth and creamy, with some good roasted nuttiness lingering on the palate. Medium full bodied with good carbonation. Not too thick or bloating.

Overall, a nice take on the style by Tyranena, but nothing extraordinary. A fairly simplistic offering, slightly above average at best. A tame and approachable take on the style, I suppose, but good enough for what it is. Alcohol is nicely masked, and makes no appearance at all. Glad to have tried it, but I couldn't see myself wanting this more than once in a year.

Nice deep cola pour with a hint of red and two fingers of khaki foam on top. Aromas of clean roasted malts with caramel and raisin. Fruit accents and toasted bread. Big and malty upfront with mild hop backbone.

First sip brings creamy crisp malt over the palate with some roast and a mix of caramel, fruit and raisins. A bit of chocolate in the mix along with a toasted bread hint. Malt sweetness is there but not overwhelming. Flows down with a touch of earthy, herbal hop bitterness. Overall a nice malty treat here.

Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with a strong malty body. Goes down quite easily with mellow bubbles. Overall, a nice robust scotch ale for the cooler months and a great addition for Tyranena if I do say so myself. Hope this will be around next year!

12oz bottle, no date. Pours clear amber with a large off-white head. Smells of caramel and sweet bready malt. The taste follows with caramel, malt, and some smoked peat; weaker intensity. Some mild bitterness in the finish. Average body and average carbonation. Overall, it fits the style okay, but could use a little more complexity.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Imperial Pint.

Appearance: Dark reddish-orange with thin, sustained, off-white head.

Smell: Peat, toffee and dark fruit. Simple but nice.

Taste: Along with the light peat, there are fruity and spicy notes that are almost Belgian-like. Lots of toffee, some nuttiness, and a finish that includes some floral hops, but remains mostly sweet.

Feel: Medium-full body with moderately low carbonation. Finish is not as dry as I would prefer.

Overall: A very tasty, and fairly big, everyday Scotch Ale. If the finish dried up a little more and played against the core sweetness, this would be sublime.

This beer was poured out of a bottle and into a pint glass. It had a dark amber colour to it; almost caramel. Ale had a sweet malt nose with hints of oak and scotch. It also had a slight scotch taste to it, along with malts and a very slight roasted taste, but not by much. No significant lingering flavours or after tastes.

Would I buy this beer again? Maybe.

Misty complexioned, and colored somewhere amongst tangerine, amber, and brown. The head is short, more or less merely a collar of beige.
Scented of dried peaches and strawberries, bran, honey, sweet breads, earth, pipe tobacco, hard water, and dried leaves. It's a beautiful aroma, and spot-on, just a hair on the timid side.
Enters with a honey-graham maltiness that segues fruitier right away, while maintaining underlying bread and toasted grain notions throughout. Flashes of apricots, melons, pineapple, and maraschino cherries, then the floor falls out as it drops into an rivers- edge earthiness and fragrant tobacco. It conclude with a heathery hop note, a low-level tea-like bitterness, and a minor reprise of fruit.
Lowly carbonated, but what is there is persistent. It's not a muddy, smoky peat monster. It's earthy tones are evident, but there is a balancing brightness here too, and that helps make this tremendously quaffable.

Deep amber brown, with a thin head and no lace.

Malty sweet aroma -- sugar, spice, earthy.

Taste is chewy like caramel. Definitely a savory brew, with a thick, whiskeylike character. Do I detect an alcohol sting late in the tasting?

Not bad, but almost too overmalty for my palate.

There is no limit to what he knows.

but he shames the wicked.

He sends rain to the earth.
He makes the grass grow on the mountains.

are not what he cares about.

and it quickly obeys.
16He makes the snow fall until the ground is as white as wool.
He makes sleet blow through the air like dust.
17He makes hail fall like rocks from the sky.
No one can stand the cold he sends.
18Then he gives another command, and warm air begins to blow.
The ice melts, and water begins to flow.
19He gave his commands to Jacob.
He gave his laws and rules to Israel.
20He did not do this for any other nation.
He did not teach his laws to other people.
Praise the Lord!

Facebook reveals new Features for Android and Apple iOS platforms

Author: | Posted in Android, Facebook, Social Media No comments

Facebook held a mobile centric event at the company headquarters, California, U.S. At this event, Facebook unveiled new features for Android and Apple iOS mobile platforms. According to these features, both these mobile platforms would be updated with Groups and Places feature.

Another feature has been introduced in the Facebook app which is single sign-on. With this feature the user is enabled to sign into Facebook once, and thereafter the user need not re-type the username and password for any other application which provides access to Facebook. The way it works is that you need to sign into Facebook app once after which you need not re-type your login details on any other app which supports single sign-on feature. This feature is very useful for multi-tasking activities.

The next feature which i have mentioned above is Places. This feature will be available on the Facebook app for Google Android platforms. They need to download the Facebook App 1.4 update which will have the Groups and Places feature. With the help of Places, users can broadcast their location to their friends, they get to know the location of their friends, they can tag their friends who are nearby and can also find new places. To know about the Groups feature click here.

That is not all. iPhone and iPod touch also get a new feature called Deals. This feature will be available on the Facebook app with a yellow icon near the user’s location. This icon will let you know about the deals in that place. Tapping on that icon will take you to the shop owner/cashier to claim the discount or gift. Note that these deals are offered by the shop owners and not by Facebook. More details about the deal would be available at the respective business/shop office. You will find various kinds of deals subject to the location.

Well, these apps will surely make you an addict to Facebook:)

A Gold Mine Called the Big Board?

Sooner rather than later, most people will find the name Dick Grasso hard to place, and the New York Stock Exchange will shake off the mud that covers it today. Then, somewhere in this dreary process called "moving on," the prospect that the Big Board itself is going public will glow.

As alluring as an initial public offering of stock may prove to 1,366 NYSE seat holders -- the exchange's actual owners -- arranging the deal would not be simple. Even a ticker symbol is tricky. The four letters NYSE almost surely wouldn't do, since the world's leading stock exchange has prided itself on issuing common stock symbols no more than three letters long. (Note to Santiago, Chile's BBV Banco BHIF, holder of the Big Board's BB symbol: Stay flexible.) Just the same, as an investment the NYSE is a potential gold mine -- even if it hasn't paid lately.

You can get a glimpse of this from the NYSE's financials. The most recent set is for the year ended last Dec. 31. As a not-for-profit, the NYSE doesn't release the full quarterly details required of public companies. Instead, it gives just a few interim figures: Through June 30, revenue ran flat at $539.5 million, while net income rose to $27 million from $20.7 million. That improvement had to be welcomed warmly. Since 1998, the Big Board's operating margin got crushed, coming in last year at 4% on a bit more than $1 billion in.

THIS, PERHAPS EVEN more than the investing public's post-bubble hangover, accounts for the 30% plunge in value of a stock exchange seat. The highest price for a seat, $2.65 million, was paid in 1999; the most recent price, on Sept. 18, was $1.85 million. If each of the exchange's 1,366 seats could be had for that, the total would come to $2.5 billion. But this in no way captures the Big Board's potential public market value.

Consider events 500 miles west-northwest of Wall and Broad. Just before the Toronto Stock Exchange converted to a profit-making company, in April, 2000, its 133 seats traded near $37,000 each, indicating a total value then of less than $5 million. Last November the exchange's parent, TSX Group (TX ) went public and soon had a market value of a bit under $500 million. Today, TSX's market cap tops $800 million. Last December the Chicago Mercantile Exchange followed suit. The stock has doubled, giving the Merc a value of $2.2 billion.

If it goes public, the Big Board can count on an expansion of value, too. To do this, it needs first to change, as the Merc says it did, from an organization designed "to offer profit-making opportunities for our members and to limit our profits" to one focused on its own bottom line. In so doing, it might have to give up some or all of its regulatory duties, foregoing revenue that now makes up 12% of its total. This likely doesn't account for much profit, notes Chris Ruggeri, a managing director at Standard & Poor's Corporate Value Consulting (like BusinessWeek, owned by The McGraw-Hill (MHP ) Companies), but it is one of many question marks in imagining an NYSE valuation.

Suppose, just the same, that the NYSE instantly managed itself toward the 35% or so operating margins enjoyed recently by publicly held rivals. Then, it next year might show operating profits of, say, $385 million. Other public exchanges tend to trade near 13 times operating income and roughly five times sales. At these multiples, the NYSE would draw a market value of around $5 billion, or about double the current value of its seats -- enough to make the Big Board forget the name Dick Grasso.

Vietnam Economic Growth Quickens as Investment Aids Exports

Vietnam’s economic growth accelerated in the second quarter after the central bank cut interest rates to revive lending to businesses and rising foreign investment boosted the nation’s exports.

Gross domestic product grew 5 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, according to the General Statistics Office in Hanoi. The central bank said today it would weaken its dong-dollar reference rate and that it would lower its rate caps on U.S. dollar and dong deposits effective June 28.

Vietnam’s central bank has cut its refinancing rate eight times since the beginning of 2012 to spur lending, and the government is setting up an asset management company to clear bad debt. The legislature last week voted to lower the corporate income tax rate to help businesses, while disbursed foreign investment rose 5.6 percent in the first half of 2013 to $5.7 billion, according to the Ministry of Planning & Investment.

“This isn’t going to be a strong growth year, but the economy is stabilizing,” said Gaurav Gupta, the Hanoi-based managing director at General Motors Co.’s Vietnam unit, citing lower interest rates and inflation than in previous years. “This year should set the base for the government to take actions to drive growth faster in the future.”

The dong has slipped about 0.4 percent this quarter, a smaller decline compared to other regional currencies including the Philippine peso and the Thai baht. The benchmark VN index has gained more than 16 percent this year.

Business Index

The central bank weakened the dong-dollar reference rate to 21,036 from 20,828, which has remained unchanged since Dec. 26, 2011. The dong is allowed to trade as much as 1 percent on either side of the rate.

The adjustment is “to more accurately reflect the supply and demand of foreign currency in the market,” to create stability for the foreign-exchange market, and to improve the balance of payments, it said. The monetary authority said it will use all necessary measures to ensure currency stability.

For U.S. dollar accounts, the central bank cut the corporate deposit rate to 0.25 percent from 0.5 percent for all tenors and reduced individual deposit rates to 1.25 percent from 2 percent.

On dong deposits, the rate was cut to 1.2 percent from 2 percent for tenors of less than one month, and to 7 percent from 7.5 percent for tenors of one month to less than six months.

Dong Support

“The cut in USD deposit rates is in line with the government’s anti-dollarization policy,” Eugenia Fabon Victorino, an economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Singapore, said in an e-mailed note. The larger cut in dollar deposit rates for individuals in comparison to dong rates is expected to support the local currency, she said.

Vietnam’s economy expanded 4.9 percent in the first half from a year earlier, compared with a median estimate of 5 percent in a Bloomberg News survey of seven economists. GDP grew a revised 4.76 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, and the International Monetary Fund predicts the economy is set for a third straight year of sub-6 percent growth for the first time since 1988.

The government targets 5.5 percent for this year after a 5.03 percent pace last year, the slowest since 1999. Vietnam’s GDP may rise 6 percent in 2014, according to a directive by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung posted on the government website this week. It also urged implementing monetary policy with the aim of stabilizing the currency in order to “efficiently” supply capital in the economy.

Exports Climb

Exports in the first half rose 16.1 percent to $62.05 billion from the same period a year earlier, while imports climbed 17.4 percent to $63.5 billion for a trade deficit of $1.4 billion, the Statistics Office said today.

“Most of the growth is coming from the foreign-invested sector,” said Dominic Mellor, a Hanoi-based economist at the Asian Development Bank. “That’s how Vietnam has been able to sustain its exports and, to some degree, its growth.”

Credit for the five months through May 31 rose 2.98 percent, compared with a 0.56 percent increase in the same period a year earlier, according to the central bank. A business-climate index climbed in the second quarter from the first, according to the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam.

The central bank today said it will also lower the interest-rate cap on short-term dong loans to 9 percent from 10 percent for industries including agriculture and exports, and for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Low Consumption

“Businesses and production still have a lot of difficulties because consumption in the market is still at low levels and companies’ ability to absorb bank loans is still limited,” it said. The rate-cap reductions are “in order to curb deposit and lending rates at reasonable levels to help stabilize the money market and the foreign-currency market and to continue implementing measures to help resolve difficulties for businesses and production.”

Industry and construction, which made up 38.7 percent of the economy in the first half of the year, grew 5.18 percent, today’s data showed. Services, which accounted for 43.1 percent of GDP, grew 5.92 percent. Agriculture, fisheries and forestry, which made up 18.2 percent of GDP, expanded 2.07 percent.

“There are some signs that growth may be bottoming out,” said Deepak Mishra, the Hanoi-based lead economist in Vietnam for the World Bank. “But it’s premature to conclude whether this is the beginning of a sustained recovery.”

10 Shortcuts to a Not-So-Scary Basement

If you have an unfinished basement, you probably don’t want to spend a ton of time down there. The air is musty, the floors are damp, and it feels just a tiny bit creepy. Luckily, there are some simple ways to get the feel of a finished basement without shelling out thousands of dollars. Here, 10 ways to turn your basement into a space where the entire family will want to hang out.

Expanded View >
  1. Refreshed Floors

    If you’re stuck with a concrete floor and laying new tile or laminate is out of the budget, don’t worry. Apply a few coats of epoxy paint (which will also help waterproof the floor) for a refreshed look that won't ruffle the bank account.

    Zillow Digs home in Seattle, WA

  2. All Warmed Up

    Carpet tiles are a smart solution for warming up cold and unattractive floors without the expense of a full carpet installation. They cost as little as a couple of dollars per square foot, and you can combine different colors to create a pretty pattern that won't cost a pretty penny. Plus, installation is practically goof-proof, because most versions are just peel and stick.

  3. Polished Pipes

    If your basement ceiling is filled with exposed, rusted pipes, grab a can of paint that matches or complements the walls, and give each pipe a couple of coats. This project is a twofer: You'll clean up your unsightly pipes and make the space feel more cohesive.

  4. Light Improvements

    Most unfinished basements are lit with nothing more than bare bulbs, which can feel more horror story than homey. For less than $10, you can pick up clip-on shades that will instantly transform bare bulbs into elegant light fixtures—and you can do this completely without tools. If you’re looking for an even less involved solution, simply layer string lights throughout the space for instant charm and ambience.

  5. Delightfully Dry

    The signature characteristic of an unfinished basement is that it's musty and damp. A dehumidifier is the quick fix here. Run it regularly, especially during the summer months, to keep the temperature comfortable and to protect against creepy-crawly bugs. If you can’t afford to buy one at full price, it’s always worth giving Craigslist a quick scan.

  6. By the Book

    Large spans of bare wall or empty areas beneath the stairs can make an unfinished basement feel dark and dreary. Promote a welcoming vibe (and conceal any unsettling nooks or crannies) by lining blank walls with inexpensive white bookcases or floating shelves. You’ll love how they instantly brighten the entire room, and they're an easy way to add more storage.

  7. Stair Repair

    If your basement door opens to reveal stark wood stairs of the sort that seem to have a starring role in every horror movie ever made, brighten them up with a few coats of neutral paint. Add stair treads, and tighten any rickety banisters to make them feel extra secure.

  8. Fabric Fix-Up

    Another easy fix for unsightly walls is to tack up sheets of fabric or hang a curtain for a faux-wallpaper look. You can even hang large sections of wrapping paper or scrapbook paper in poster-size frames to mimic high-end art while also adding modern color and style.

  9. Window Work-Around

    Is your basement plagued by poor light? Inexpensive mirrors found at flea markets or thrift stores are a nice way to bounce brightness around a dark basement. Hang them up on opposite sides of the room to make the space feel both lighter and larger.

  10. Go Green

    Place oversize plants or collections of greenery in the basement to effortlessly conceal unsightly spots or brighten dark corners. You can add style with decorative DIY planters, but the simple injection of life into the space will make it more welcoming and enjoyable to relax in.

Passionate Declarations : Essays on War and Justice

4.35 (294 ratings on Goodreads)
By (author)

Free delivery worldwide

Available. Dispatched from the UK in 2 business days
When will my order arrive?

From the bestselling author of A People's History of the United States comes this selection of passionate, honest, and piercing essays looking at American political ideology. Howard Zinn brings to Passionate Declarations the same astringent style and provocative point of view that led more than a million people to buy his book A People's History of the United States. He directs his critique here to what he calls "American orthodoxies" -- that set of beliefs guardians of our culture consider sacrosanct: justifications for war, cynicism about human nature and violence, pride in our economic system, certainty of our freedom of speech, romanticization of representative government, confidence in our system of justice. Those orthodoxies, he believes, have a chilling effect on our capacity to think independently and to become active citizens in the long struggle for peace and more

Officials want Lance Armstrong under oath

Lance Armstrong has been in conversations with US Anti-Doping Agency officials, touching off speculation he might be willing to cooperate with authorities there and name names.

Lance Armstrong has been in conversations with US Anti-Doping Agency officials, touching off speculation he might be willing to cooperate with authorities there and name names.

A televised confession by Lance Armstrong isn’t enough.

Anti-doping officials want the disgraced cyclist to admit his guilt under oath before considering whether to lift a lifetime ban clouding his future as a competitive athlete. That was seconded by at least one former teammate whom Armstrong pushed aside on his way to the top of the Tour de France podium.

‘‘Lance knows everything that happened,’’ Frankie Andreu told the Associated Press on Tuesday. ‘‘He’s the one who knows who did what because he was the ringleader. It’s up to him how much he wants to expose.’’

Armstrong has been in conversations with US Anti-Doping Agency officials, touching off speculation he might be willing to cooperate with authorities there and name names.

Interviewer Oprah Winfrey didn’t say if the subject was broached during the taping Monday at a downtown Austin, Texas hotel. In an appearance on ‘‘CBS This Morning,’’ she declined to give details of what Armstrong told her, but said she was ‘‘mesmerized and riveted by some of his answers.’’

Asked whether Armstrong appeared genuinely contrite after a decade of fierce denials, Winfrey replied, ‘‘I felt that he was thoughtful, I thought that he was serious, I thought that he certainly had prepared for this moment. I would say that he met the moment.’’

She was promoting what has become a two-part special, Thursday and Friday, on her OWN network.

Around the same time, World Anti-Doping Agency officials issued a statement saying nothing short of ‘‘a full confession under oath’’ would cause them to reconsider Armstrong’s lifetime ban from sanctioned events.

The International Cycling Union also urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims that the sport’s governing body hid the cyclist’s suspicious samples, accepted financial donations from him, and helped him avoid detection in doping tests.

The ban was only one of several penalties handed to Armstrong after a scathing, 1,000-page report by USADA last year. The cyclist was also stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, lost nearly all of his endorsements and was forced to cut ties with the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997.

The report portrayed Armstrong as the mastermind of a long-running scheme that employed steroids, blood boosters such as EPO, and a range of other performance-enhancers to dominate the tour. It included revealing testimony from 11 former teammates, including Andreu and his wife, Betsy.

‘‘A lot of it was news and shocking to me,’’ Andreu said. ‘‘I am sure it’s shocking to the world. There’s been signs leading up to this moment for a long time. For my wife and I, we've been attacked and ripped apart by Lance and all of his people, and all his supporters repeatedly for a long time. I just wish they wouldn’t have been so blind and opened up their eyes earlier to all the signs that indicated there was deception there, so that we wouldn’t have had to suffer as much.

‘‘And it’s not only us,’’ he added, ‘‘he’s ruined a lot of lives.’’

Armstrong was believed to have left for Hawaii. The street outside his Spanish-style villa on Austin’s west side was quiet the day after international TV crews gathered there hoping to catch a glimpse of him. Nearby, members of his legal team mapped out a strategy on how to handle at least two pending lawsuits against Armstrong, and possibly a third.

The AP reported earlier that Justice Department officials were likely to join a whistleblower lawsuit against Armstrong by former teammate Floyd Landis, citing a source who works outside the government and requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record about the matter.

The lawsuit by Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title after testing positive, alleges that Armstrong defrauded the US government by repeatedly denying he used performance-enhancing drugs. The deadline to join the False Claims Act lawsuit, which could require Armstrong to return substantial sponsorship fees and pay a hefty penalty, is Thursday.

Landis is hardly the only one seeking money back from Armstrong.

During his long reign as cycling champion, Armstrong scolded some critics in public, didn’t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race, and waged legal battles against others in court.

The London-based Sunday Times has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid Armstrong to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny him a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel.

In Australia, the government of the state of South Australia said it will seek the repayment of several million dollars in appearance fees paid to Armstrong for competing in the Tour Down Under in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

‘‘We'd be more than happy for Mr. Armstrong to make any repayment of monies to us,’’ South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said.

Course Outline

The resources in any given habitat can support only a certain number of wildlife. As seasons change, food, water, or cover may be in short supply, causing damage to the animals or the habitat. Carrying capacity is the number of animals the habitat can support all year long. The carrying capacity of a certain tract of land can vary from year to year. It can be changed by nature or humans.

Factors that limit wildlife populations include:

  • Starvation
  • Disease and Parasites
  • Accidents
  • Weather
  • Hunting
  • Predators
  • Loss of Habitat
  • Human Development
  • Old Age

Carrying capacity chart
If the conditions are balanced, game animals will produce a surplus, which can be harvested on an annual, sustainable basis.

Ralph Steadman’s Rare and Rapturous Illustrations for Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451”

“Stuff your eyes with wonder… live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.”

Something decidedly magical happens when a great visual artist interprets a literary classic, translating a beloved text into image. Take, for instance, William Blake’s paintings for Milton’s Paradise Lost, Maurice Sendak’s etchings for Blake’s “Songs of Innocence,” Delacroix’s illustrations for Goethe, R. Crumb’s twist on Kafka, and Salvador Dalí’s paintings for Cervantes’s Don Quixote, Dante’s Divine Comedy, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and the essays of Montaigne.

Among the most rewarding such reimaginings are those by the great British cartoonist Ralph Steadman (b. May 15, 1936), who has illustrated Orwell’s Animal Farm, created one of history’s greatest visual interpretations of Alice in Wonderland, and remains best known for his collaborations with Hunter S. Thompson.

In 2003, Steadman turned his talent to one of the most important books ever written and illustrated a gorgeous 50th anniversary edition of Fahrenheit 451 (public library) — Ray Bradbury’s celebrated dystopian novel, titled after “the temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns” and originally published when Bradbury was only thirty-three.

Exactly 451 copies were printed, each signed by both Steadman and Bradbury.

In his magnificent 2013 monograph, Proud Too Be Weirrd (public library), Steadman admits to having grown jaded with illustrating other people’s prose — “not much more than shameless self-indulgence” — but writes of having gladly completed the Bradbury project due to its “vitally important theme — the burning of all books.” He reflects on the significance of Bradbury’s masterwork:

As someone once said, I think it was me: There is nothing so dangerous as an idea. Particularly one whose time has come…

And who can forget the ever-timely ideas emanating from Bradbury’s glorious lines? “Stuff your eyes with wonder… live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.” Here was a rare integrated man — even in his fiction, he channeled the wholehearted truths by which he lived his life.

Hard though it may be to find, this uncommonly bewitching edition of Fahrenheit 451 is well worth the hunt. Complement it with Steadman’s illustrated biography of Leonardo, then explode with Bradbury on emotion vs. the intellect and the secret of work, life, and love.
