May 12, 2009 Rocky offwhite head, medium sized with good retention and lace. Hazy orange colored brew. Nice nose of citrus, grapefruit and faint malts. Full bodied, oily and a light carbonation. Not sure how to describe the flavor that turned me off but the closest i could come was BO, body odor?? Sweat? Just kinda nasty. I can handle kitty pee but this just hit me wrong, i dunno. Kinda lost me there. Some hidden malts and fruit. Fruity, stinky flavored finish. Got me?? Could,nt shake it. oooooffff.

May 6, 2009 This quickly catapulted to my favorite IPA. The flavor hops really make this beer special. Could use a little more aroma but otherwise a great example of an American IPA.

May 3, 2009 Bottle from SL. Nice orange color with a red tint. Ok head. Aroma of a hop that I cant pick up. Maybe some grapefruit and lemon on the nose. Taste is kind of similar. Graprefruit, lemon bitterness to it. A little different then most DIPA, but not in a bad way. No trace of the nine percent, its hidden very well. Overall a decent DIPA that I enjoyed drinking.

May 1, 2009 Lumpy and large head...slow to dissipate. Lacey lines throughout the glass as the liquid descends. Hazy, orange-amber color.
Harsh, overwhelming, high-alpha hop smells. Grapefruit and ground pine needles. Perhaps the strongest smelling beer I’ve ever experienced.
Surprising malt base. Holding the beer in my mouth, I sense the hop after a sizable wait. But when I do, it is very strong and completely dominating. Too much of a good thing. Place this one in the extreme list.

Apr 26, 2009 bottle.
Medium amber copper color, small but persistent off white head that keeps a layer on top. Dank, sticky hop nose- pine resins and sharp citrus fruits with some faint hints of malt sweetness. Very aggressive hops on the nose. Flavor balances a bit more, but still definitely hop-forward. Heavy but tame bitterness, loads of sharp lemons and grapefruit, earthy resinous hop flavors. Toasted dark bread malt holds up the backbone. Some booze shows up in the flavor near the back end. Palate on the heavy side, some oily aspects, lightly bitter finish. Overall a very good DIPA, shows some uniqueness with the earthy hop character.

Apr 14, 2009 Rich malty and hoppy aroma with a lot of citrus fruits, lemony sourness, and some cookie like aromas. Reddish orange with a thick foamy head of pretty good duration. Tight bubbles stick to the side of the glass. Flavor is sweetish with initial grapefruity and apple notes. Some honey, lemon, and other citrus flavors. Light saltiness, some bitterness but largely tempered by the sweetness. Palate is creamy and not overly thick. Light syrup. Alcohol comes up in the duration. Pretty good but balance seems a little off somewhere. Aroma is better than the flavor. Perhaps a bit too sweet.

Apr 13, 2009 Bottle. This is a beautiful orange amber in the glass with a one and a half inch, foamy off white head. The head is really creamy and dense looking. The aromas are very strong, plenty of fresh pink grapefruit, orange, lemon, pine. There’s a fair bit of carbonation coming up from the centre of the glass. The mouthfeel is medium in body, a bit oily. Initially there is a lot of fruit in the flavour: tropical fruits, passion fruit, pineapple, mango, citrus fruits. Hop bitterness comes fairly quickly with some bready malt and caramel, but the finish really has none of the beer’s earlier complexities.
