When my friend Cathy brought this beer back from the states it made me very happy!! Thank-you Cathy your awesome!!! Orangy gold hue orangy head. Sever fruity aroma. Orangy fruit flavoiur very bitter. Sweet syrupy almost compairable to Dogfish head 120 Minute IPA but obviously not as high in alc. Awesome IPA!!!

Typical orange hop aroma for this style. Creamy but it lacks the taste that others of this style have. Body is watery. There are better buys.

Citrus flavor. Very hoppy, but it doesn’t kill you. There’s some maltiness there. It has body, not just a lot of hops. I taste a little alcohol burn. Overall, this is an extremely satisfying Double Hopped IPA from an incredible brewery. Avery rules!

Bottle: Aroma is virtually all sweet grapefruit with a little pine sneaking thru. Pours a nice transparent amber with about an inch off-white head with fairly good retention. Great lacing. Nice qucik initial sweetness followed by a hoppy and citrusy finish. Some pine in the flavor but just like in the aroma it just sneaks thru. Long hoppy aftertaste. At 9% I expected the alcohol to show a little, but it’s covered up nicely. Unlike some, I like the balance of this beer. I recently had the Maverick IPA with only 65 IBU’s and felt that to be more bitter than this at 90 due to lack of balance. My first introduction to the Avery brewing Co. and I must say I’m impressed. Excellent beer.

Poured hazy reddish orange with a thick and dense off white head...smells citrus, definately grapefruit first; then very piney...quite malty up front, but then "shockingly hoppy" takes over...it is a slow and creeping effect...after my first sip I am still making the bitter beer face expression (like the guy from the Keystone commercials)...this is great stuff...I taste some alcohol...I think...I’m not sure b/c my face is puckered and my eyes are watering...

Avery always finds a way to please, and this is no exception. Full and powerful with that strong hop character expected from Avery. Nice!

This is a good Double IPA. Grapefruit, pine, spice, and bitter flavors. Finishes clean, thick, and chewy.

Light copper body. Strong hoppy and fruity aromas. Slight notes of caramel in the malt but it is mostly grapefruit. Pretty hoppy finish, limited acidity, smooth. Light orange, pineapple notes in the finish, very fruity. Grapefruity! Lightly sour finish doesn’t provide enough balance.
