Jan 29, 2009 Huge pineapple/hop aroma. Deceptively low alchohol presence. Excellent lingering finish. Extremely well balanced.

Okay. This beer inspired me to write poetry. It’s wonderful. Slightly boozy, perfect amounts of carbonation, and perhaps the best blend of hops I’ve had in a long while.

Jan 27, 2009 (bottle) Hazy orange beer with a medium off-white head. Sweet, refreshing hop aroma - citrus, grapefruit, floral, grass, peach - strong and aromatic.. Grapefruit, hope flavor with orange. Very bitter, but balanced and smooth. Medium, slightly oily body.

Jan 27, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear syrupy apricot color with medium carbonation that mellowed away into some nice lacing. Aroma of vanilla, honey and hops. Flavor of hops, grapefruit, sugar and some noticeable alcohol. Finished was a bit too abrasive for my preference, but a solid DIPA nonetheless.

Jan 27, 2009 Updated: Aug 7, 2009Not quite as hoppy as the hype but the hops is for sure there. Poured very amber in color, almost red. Very bitter but the honey (or other sweetner) compliments the bitter very well. Probably has the best after taste of any DIPA I have had to date. I was expecting to be knocked on the floor from what I have heard. Though I did not fall I still recommend this beer to try.

Jan 27, 2009 Trying not to "rate the hype". Bottle poured into a pint. Poured a hazy orangy amber, with a small but fluffy head. The smell was hops - resin with a background of citrus. The mouthfeel was thick but less than expected, the spice of the hops immediately began to tingle my mouth. The spicy pine flavor of the hops hit before the grapefruit/blood orange citrus and it stayed that way. It finished thinner than expected, and I was lost for a descriptor for the spice lingering until I saw ginger described in another review. That’s the finish. A fine big bruising DIPA, though lacking a little in finesse.

Jan 27, 2009 On tap at Jerry’s in Chicago. I normally don’t like double IPA’s, but this one was excellent. complex flavors of grapefruit and orange.
