Jan 12, 2008 Outstanding! Extreme on the hops; pine, pine and more pine. Grapefruit and very intense full lasting flavor. Burped up a small pine cone. I had this out of a bottle and very fresh. Very much like 3F Alpha King but in my opinion even more intense hop finish! Can’t wait to get some more.

Aug 30, 2009 Pours a cloudy, glowing orange color. Huge puffy head. Glows bright from the inside like primordial amber.
The aroma is a big, bold flowery hop. Notes of spicy orange peel and tangerine. (It uses Summit hops, which is one of the few beers I’ve had that uses them.) Has a rich, rye-like base in the aroma. It’s sweet and estery and magnificent. Unreal.
The taste is sweet tangerine and orange with a hint of grapefruit. It’s like a rich, bready base with a kind of citrusy (Five Alive?) flavor on top. But the malt is dark like a bitter rye bread. Just this side of perfect.
The feel is creamy and yet oily like an Imperial Stout or a barleywine. It’s substantial and doesn’t let you forget it’s there. This is a goddamn fantastic beer. A masterpiece.

Dec 20, 2007 Updated: Jan 16, 2008Hop mix is different from anything I’ve tried---and I like it! Hops are more European herbal rather than American fruit. Lingering bitter after-taste. Amber orange color and clear for an unfiltered brew. Medium body. Caught fruit in aroma of second bottle.

May 29, 2009 This is an excellent offering of a double IPA from Arcadia. The beer pours a light amber color with a huge white head. The head leaves an abundance of lacing around the glass. The nose is full of hops, pine, grapefruit and bread. The body is strong, but smooth and enjoyable. The flavors are spicy, hoppy, well-balanced and delicious, with notes of grass, grapefruit, bread, pine and a hint of a floral character. The finish is spicy, dry and hoppy. This double IPA had quite the malt backbone for balance and ultimate enjoyment. This is certainly one of the better double IPAs out there.

Feb 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy orange color with a medium white head. Excellent aroma of hops and citrus, especially grapefruit. Mouthfeel isn’t that great, as it feels heavily carbonated. Flavor is very nice. Strong alcohol presence, with grapefruit as the dominant citrus flavor to it. Another really good offering from Arcadia.

Mar 29, 2008 bottle. Aroma has notes of grass, flowers, citrus, caramel. Hazy medium orange amber hue with an average sized foamy off-white head that mostly diminished but left good lace. Flavor is sweet and floral then finishes crisp and bitter. Palate is clean and medium bodied. Sparkling soft carbonation. Very surprised with this one. A top notch DIPA that should be enjoyed as fresh as possible. Nice and clean, very fresh and crispy. Not too bitter and very refreshing. The more I drink the more I like it. Very surprising and very good.

May 21, 2009 Thank you Benny (wakeandbake)! Beautiful elixir. Crystal clear ruby, orange gold with a thick white head that fades to lacing. Aroma is wonderfully balanced of grapefruit, pine and floral hops with toasty malts. Flavor is bitter and clean. Palate is medium bodied and carbonation and has a nice bitter aftertaste. Overall, this is dangerous at 9%!
