Commercial Description:
Only 120 precious barrels were brewed, adding more than half a ton of extra malt and twice the amount of Amarillo hops, so prepare your self for a full sensory explosion. The double dry-hop addition elevates the grapefruit-like aroma and flavor to an outrageous intensity, while the added malt raises the alcohol level from 7% all the way to 10% by volume.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Market Square Liquors - 22 oz bomber. Medium copper pour with a sturdy pillowy white head that sticks around quite a while. Fresh, fragrant aroma with some spearmint hints, flowers, and pine resin. Juicy flavor with a front forward assault of grapefruty bitterness, sticky sweet maple syrup notes, some pomegranates, and a touch of mint in the back end. Reminds me of a an ambrosia fruit salad. Good, thick sticky mouthfeel. Slightly one-dimensional - but not unappealing. Does not leave you puckered out like some hop-bombs do.

bottle. pours rich amber hue with a beautifully laced creamy head. aromas hit with juicy orange chunks, minimal wet limestone, grapefruit rind, and thick pine sap, and a hint of good green herb. the grapefruit chimes in quite loudly on the flavor. is "creamy pot" a flavor? the hops are quite intensely bitter, but could be more flavorful. the spicy mouthfeel and bitter lingering finish work, but could be better integrated. the citrus really holds this one together.

Had on tap at Brews. Pour was a nice clear, golden orange color. Smell was sweet, malts and citrus. Taste was sweet malts, yeast, and citrus. Very hoppy on the finish. I am trying desperately to enjoy IPA’s, but so far, just too hoppy for me.

A 10% "hopped" up version of their regular Mojo IPA, nice beer. Thick aromas of lemon, grapefruit, flowers, and evergreen. A clear copper pour with a 1/4" lasting off white head coupled by a touch of stringy lacing. Heavy malts lend to a nice creamy mouth feel. Great bitterness that helps this beer drink nice and easy. Bready, cereal malt flavor with fruity grapefruit and orange. Plenty of floral bitterness. Overall the Amarillo hops add more of a bittering element. A tasty hopped up beer, just not my preference when it comes to this style.

12 oz. bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured light copper with poor head retention. Thin, watery, lacking malt. Sharp, bitter hop bite. Poor effort when compared to other IIPAs.

Very aromatic brew...you don’t even have to bring the glass to your nose to get a whiff of it!!! Pungent hop bitterness but with a subtle brown sugar behind the citrus. This one lacks the enormous frothy head and lacing that would put it over the top. Additionally, there is a lasting pine that stays a bit past its welcome on the palate. Good beer though...

Pours a copper color with an off-white creamy mostly diminishing head with excellent lacing. The aroma is hoppy with an orange-lemon/lime smell. The initial flavor is back of the tongue bitter, nice hoppy flavor. The body is medium, the texture creamy and the carbonation soft.

12oz - Aroma is strong citrus hops, mostly grapefruit and caramel malts. Pours orange with a sudsy medium sized head and good lacing. Flavor is full of grapefruit hops with a caramel back. Palate is very tart and bitter. Not very balanced and a bit too hot with alcohol. Still tasty, but not something I would want to drink a lot of.
