crizay (1056), Brook Park (was Tampa,FL), Ohio, USA Apr 2, 2008 Pours copper with small white head. Aroma is caramel all the way. Flavor is sweet lots of caramel and just a sickly sweetness. Grapefruit and some citrus with a touch of pine but not big on hop flavor just a lot of resin and big caramel sweetness. Where are the hops?
shendrix (392), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA May 11, 2008 Like munching fresh-baked bread through a lacing of heather, with grassy hops coming in strongly at the end. AmEricanbrew (679), Greenwood, Louisiana, USA May 7, 2008 Draft @ the brewpub. Copper with a light tan head. Good hoppy aroma is citrus and floral. Medium body and smooth. Nice mesh of bready malts and those same citrus and floral hops. Well defined hop flavors here without being overly bitter. A good one. Maria (3309), Thisted, Denmark May 6, 2008 Courtesy of Sammy. Hazy orange-brown with a huge, nice, creamy and lasting head. The aroma is nicely hopped with a lot of sweet citrus hops. The flavour has sweet citrus, sweet cantaloupe melon, papaya, caramel and it’s quite harmonic. I would have preferred it to have a better bitterness and maybe to be a little less sweet. But it’s charming as it is. nefarious (11), grand blanc, Michigan, USA May 5, 2008 reddish brown appearance, sweet citrus aroma. light flavor unusual for a IPA especially a double! I could taste the alcoho alot more than I though considering the lower 8.1 rating. mouth feel is ok and the finish is disappointing. Its not bad I rather like it, I guess I had my expectations a little high for this. I would drink it more though. Odeed (1382), Bakersfield, California, USA Apr 29, 2008 ice tea like looking body with a small white head that leaves some lacing.small hoppy aroma.flavor is much of the same.wheres the hop blast?im guessing this is old.
