Apr 2, 2008 Updated: Apr 7, 2008Batch 7 Feb 2008- Fantastic start to finish. Pours clear golden amber, with beautiful thick head. This IPA sticks to the tounge with a remarkably complex flavor. Could be the best Double IPA I’ve had.

Apr 1, 2008 On tap at Falling Rock during the Pursuit of Hoppiness gathering. The rep told me it would knock off my taste buds, and I would agree. Aroma is overpowering with the hops. My friend thought the aroma bordered on lawn clippings. Beer was hazy orange. Very big, but the alcohol didn’t blast you. Dry finish. Great beer for the hophead.

Apr 1, 2008 Updated: Mar 20, 2009650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a copper color with a big white head. Good nose with citrus; oranges, limes and grapefruit. The flavor is dominated by biter hops, this is a hop monster; the citrus flavors and some caramel found out the sides. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. The finish is long with lingering caramel and a touch of biter bite. overall: A great DIPA. Rerate note. more emphasis on caramel, still very nice quaff.

Mar 29, 2008 Batch 7 (Feb. 08) bomber bottle. Pours slightly hazy orange-amber with a big, frothy, sticky, and long-lasting cream-colored head. Aroma is massive grapefruit and resin, but there are some sweet malts back there too. Flavor is similarly dominated by gooey hops but again with a nice sweet malt base. Finishes very dry; no surprise there. Palate is medium to medium-full, sticky and smooth. Almost no alcohol except for slight warming despite the high ABV. Great DIPA for hopheads - one of the best.

Mar 27, 2008 Hops and fruit extraordinairy! A blast of pine trees and fruity malts. Quite a tasty concoction. Alcohol is strong but well hidden among the bouquet and malts. Heck of strong kick. A big beer with all the typical Avery properties.

Mar 27, 2008 Updated: Apr 10, 2008Bomber bottled Feb 08. Woah. You’ve gotta try it. Pours a copper with an off-white head. Aroma is hops, flowers, very intense hops, malt, and more hops. Taste is citrus, pine, spice with a nice supporting malt backbone. It’s big, it’s tasty, and after you finish the bottle, you’ll feel it. Definitely a great beer.

Mar 27, 2008 22 oz. bottle.....I really like this beer. Has a very nice hop aroma and pours a nice deep orange. Smells of citrus and hops. Nice off white head that slowly fades. Taste is flavorful but not overpowering.....not bitter....and not too sweet. Hop hits your nose before beer hits your tonge. Almost NO bitter aftertaste...which I like.

Mar 26, 2008 Poured from a bomber. Poured a clear copper color with a thick, rocky off-white that left nice lacing. Splendid aroma of citrus, spicy pine, and an earthy hop character. Sweet, spicy malt entry with a hint of caramel leads into a nice piny hop hit with more spice and some citrus undertones leads into a lightly bitter, earthy finish. Smooth with some hop bite, but was hoping for a bit more. Still a very nice IIPA.
