4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 DocJitsu (306) - California, USA - MAR 30, 2013
Pours a clear golden copper with a caramel ice cream head. Prevalent grapefruit nose that alternates to a malty aroma as the head fades. There is little head retention. Some lacing on the glass. The beer involves the entire palate from the beginning. A nice, smooth, malty, grapefruit and pine on the front of the tongue, with a simultaneous pleasing floral scrubbing on the back. This jubilee fades into a pine finish that ultimately yields to a pleasant and surprising citrus perfume, which flavors the alcohol warmth that escapes into the nasal passage. Truly one of the best DIPAs in the world.

HOPSlam is a good way to describe this one. Strong hops flavor and aroma, hints of citris and the flavor lingers.

Not much to be said that already hasn’t.
Has great aromas...very stinky beer...leathers...citrus...
Big taste. Almost too big, depending on my mood. A lot going on in this one. Can overwhelm the palate, making it tough to enjoy other beers afterwards.
Overall a great beer that will remain one of my favorites, although, the gap between this one and a few other Double IPA’s has narrowed.

Most likely the best beer I’ve had. Helps that it’s limited release, which keep the hops fresh.

12oz bottle. Pours a nice clear golden color with small white head. Aroma is citrus hops, orange, lemon, pineapple, and grapefruit with a light honey note. Taste mimics the nose with some malt, and honey on the back end.
