4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Excellent DIPA....as mentioned before the aroma of this is beer is second to none. I picture a nice hop nugget with honey dripping from the top. Cloudy, darkish orange color with some nice lacing. 10% alcohol is nowhere to be found. The finish is long and sweet. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Highly recommend.

On tap in a shaker. Orange opaque with a very thin white head that disappeared quicky. Big citrus scent from all the hops. Very bitter hop flavors but with a sweet finish. The 10% abv is pretty noticable, but that’s why I love it. I could drink this often.

"Wowwawewa" -Borat. This is a very nice double IPA with every kind of hip hops in that you could ever want. IF your run of the mill IPA just isn’t cutting it, or this is available to drink I would recommend doing so. Cheers

Great beer. Aroma is the winner of this beer ever other sense plays second fiddle. The aroma is pungent hops with a back bone of sweetness. Taste begins sweet malt then moves to danky hops then finishes with a bitter touch.

Pours golden orange with a thin white head. Smells bright citrus. Tastes grapefruit, caramel and hops. Lots of hop flavor, but not harsh. Smooth. A tremendous brew.

12 ounce bottle into tulip, batch 10846, bottled 1/06/12. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a nice 2 finger light khaki head with great retention that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Some spotty lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of huge grapefruit, pineapple, mango, orange, caramel, honey, light pine, and floral notes. Incredible aromas here with big hoppy sweetness and great balance. Taste of big pineapple, orange, grapefruit, honey, mango, light pine, herbal spiciness, and caramel. Nice amount of bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, mango, pineapple, herbal spices, honey, and caramel on the finish for a while. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a nicely creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Far too drinkable for being 10%, with only a slight warming on the finish noticed. Fantastic malt balance, with plenty of hoppiness and bitterness. Overall this is a world class DIPA with huge hoppiness; but still has great balance and drinkability for it’s high gravity.

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Hazy amber brew with off white head - nothing special about the appearance. Heavenly aroma of citrus and floral hops. Taste is light sweetness at the very start offset by a marvellous hop-bomb of complex bitter, tart, and floral flavors. That ’dollop of honey’ kicks in at just the right point in the swallow to offset the building hoppiness, but then the gates are open for a fabulous finish. LIke a hop wine, this is fine.

Aroma is more subtle than I had expected. It has a very sweet honey like hop aroma that doesn’t really show the depth of flavor that is soon to come. The appearance is very typical DIPA with this beer pouring with a white head that only lingers for a short time. Taste is really this beer strong point. It is very well balanced with the sweet malts somehow creating a balanced taste that begs for you to drink more. Great beer.
