May 12, 2008 2007 Vintage. Bottle thanks to Hellbilly. Hazy golden amber with a massive overflowing (uh-oh) head. Lacings left on the glass. Aroma of citrus, pine, lychee and apricot with caramel malt backbone and alcohol. Extremely sweet. Alcohol surge at the end. Nice smooth mouthfeel.

May 12, 2008 This was a bottle from last year, but damn it was still amazing. I’d love to try a fresh bottle. You could tell the aroma died down a bit because of the huge amount of bitterness, but other than that it tasted great, with a nice malty backbone and a great hop flavor to accompany the high IBU level. One of the better DIPA’s I’ve tried.

May 4, 2008 Bottle. Poured an orange/amber color with a thin off-white head that leaves light lacing. Nice hoppy aroma of citrus and pines backed with caramel malts. The flavor follows much the same. Moderate bitterness. Medium body. Well balanced and enjoyable. (Rating from June ’07)

May 1, 2008 Intense, intense citrus aroma. Pours a yellow/amber body with a fizzy offwhite head. Taste is all citrus - the aroma does not betray. Nice warm mouth with lots of sweetness. One of the more carbonated IIPA’s.

Apr 28, 2008 pours a hazy pale copper color with a monstrous boney white head. pillowy foam clings to the glass in chunks. aroma is musky, earthy, orange, mango, pine hops and really sweet graininess. very sweet on the palate with a spicy lightly bitter resinous finish. the flavors mirror the aroma. alcohol is felt in the belly and my teeth hurt from the sugar as i get farther into the bottle. full bodied. very creamy soft mouth feel.
