BenDover (125), Texas, USA Mar 28, 2009 Pours a cloudy orange, thin white foam. Aroma of HOPS, HOPS, and HOPS. Taste of HOPS but also some nice fruity tones. This is wonderful stuff, reminds me of Bells Hopslam quite a bit. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Mar 25, 2009 Bottled 2/09, batch 9. Pours a 1 finger off white head. Golden brown hazy color. Nose is very strong floral hops. Nice taste of floral hops up front, with some nice caramalized malts and toffee as well. Creamy mouth feel. Loved this DIPA, maybe I’m just not used to fresh DIPAs in Texas. hallinghansen (263), Odense SV, Denmark Mar 25, 2009 Bottle. Broze/copper body, with a medium white head. Aroma is grape, hops and citrus. Flavor is also hops, grape and pineapple. Nice bitter aftertaste. hophead21112 (109), Louisville (LEWISville), Colorado, USA Mar 25, 2009 Updated: Jul 16, 2009Bronze pour with a nice, healthy two finger off-white head. Acceptable retention & lacing. Citrus aroma of grapefruit and a hint of pineapple, pine needles, and caramel. Smooth, sweet, malty mouthfeel initially which eventually leads to the hops. Medium low carbonation. Nice bitter finish with implementation of an effective hop profile, alcohol is mostly undetectable. Nicely balanced IIPA. Adam77 (407), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Mar 24, 2009 Poured amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus and pine. IIPA charactics. One of the best Avery offerings. Blaketj80 (78), Oklahoma, USA Mar 23, 2009 Consumed at 45 degrees. Pours with an excellent head for such an uberly hopped beverage. An overflowing amount of pine and malt come through in the drink. It has a nice hanging bitterness with a subtle sweetness. A very enjoyable beer, and one worth trying for the IIPA fan. zapprentice (309), East Setauket, New York, USA Mar 22, 2009 On cask at Deep Ellum. Fruity aroma, passion fruit. Lighter hops that allow the fruit flavor to come through. Very nice IPA Hophead22 (1056), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA Mar 21, 2009 22oz bottle. Dark gold pour with a very big white head. Mmm, hoppy, piney goodness. Smooth hop flavor, nicely balanced, and a little sweet. Very good DIPA
