nefarious (52), 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.
mmm///beer (469), Austin, Texas, USA Jul 22, 2008 (Sampled 7-7-08) 22 oz. bottle poured into shaker- poured an ominous copper amber, faint tan head bubbled and laced away, aroma of malt with hops everywhere. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt comes in first, then some sweetness shows itself in the middle. The finish turns all that into a mild hop burn that lasts for a few minutes. Very delightful... and potent!!! champanes (2), , Michigan, USA does not count Jul 21, 2008 A very smooth double IPA with a clean finish Not as hoppy as some but a quality brew nonetheless. KieferUGA (301), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jul 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark orange color with a large, fluffy white head. Aroma of piney hop resin. Initially, the flavor is bready malt. The hops are there, but not as much as I would’ve liked. Mainly citrus hops. Finish is a bit bitter with some alcohol. PhillyHomeBrew (170), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 17, 2008 the beer is a typical colored IIPA with a nice fluffy white head. Pretty typical orange, grapefruit, lemon zest aroma, but nicely balanced. The flavor is not nearly as hoppy as I expected, and what hops are there are notably lacking in fruity flavors. The hops provide more of the weedy flavor with a little lemon. eboats (822), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Jul 16, 2008 Bottled. Pours a deep orange with an off white head. Aroma is strong thick and syrupy grape fruit, orange, and some light lemon. A tinge of sweetness as well lodged in there. Flavor is masterfully malty with a strong grape fruit flavor. The orange/lemon shine through but are still dominated. The finish is a sweeter citrus. Body is big and syrupy.
