May 7, 2008 Light yellowish amber with cool yellow white head. After taste better than flavor yielding a nice bitter spice. Not much flavor or aroma. Fair rating only because I like this type of brew.

May 1, 2008 Didn’t get anything special out of this one. Lots of hoppy grass and citrus in the nose and more bitterness in the mouth. Some malts, but I didn’t get as much of a malty balance as others.

Apr 26, 2008 Decent brew. Very malty, very sweet, with pretty solid hop presence, but not enough to match the malt character of the beer. I like this beer, but it’s not the best double IPA I’ve had.

Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a golden orange hue with a small but sticky white head which leaves a little bit of lacing. Very few carbonation bubbles are present.
S- Smell is very sweet and malty with hints of piney hops in the background. This reminds me of Titan DIPA which I wasn’t a fan of.
T- Taste is very hop forward, with a candy sweet maltiness hiding in the background. The finish is fairly dry and bitter.
M- Very carbonated and a lot thinner than I was expecting from the nose.
D- This beer attempts to be a very hop forward DIPA and certainly suceeds at that. What keeps it from being up there with Pliny, Dreadnaught, Double simcoe etc. is the fact that it just doesn’t balance enough. Very close to being a great DIPA with a few minor setbacks.
