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.

22oz bottle. Vintage unknown, but probably 2007. Mostly clear golden colored body with a small white head, moderate amount of lacing. Sticky honey, herbs and cheese-like hop notes in the nose, some grapefruit perhaps but it’s wrapped up in the honey hop scent. Do I like it? Sure, but I do notice when warmed and swirled that it releases some grainy malt extract syrup aromas. Light bite up front, then a rather large explosion of fizziness over the middle, with some pretty banal honey malt and amarillo hop notes. Palate is a bit too assertive, especially in back, where is becomes more coarse and rough when swallowed. Overall, though, a decent beer to drink, but I can easily get a half dozen double IPAs I’d rather drink.

Lighlty hazed, golden/peach-y hue...1/4" of creamy head holds guard on top... Lovely aroma: pine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, a small bit prickly, but just right, as far as I’m concerned. Taste: BAM! Big blast of bitterness, great splash of hops, then fading, leaving some bitterness in the back of the mouth, staying on the tongue. Long, bitter finish, but flavorful...terrific balance, this isn’t all hops and nothing but, nice, juicy malt base...delicate, and delightful, but juicy, too..Medium-bodied, but long on the hop flavor. I eschewed the bottles I saw on sale, knowing I’d be able to have this on tap in a convenient venue...(???)...it’s a nice Double IPA, not among the fiercest, but somewhere in the middle tier, I’d say. Still, a treat to drink, and easily downable, without too much of a threat from the 10 % abv. I give higher marks to DIPAs with huger hops, bigger bitterness, and massive mouthfeel...this is very nice for being not one of those.

22 oz bottle. Pours a yellow golden color, medium sized head that dissapears pretty quickly. Fruity aroma, grassy, but not big enough for a double IPA, very dissapointing. Flavor is similiar with addition of florals and a malty backbone. A bit light mouthfeel, with a weak finish, however, the alcohol is well hidden. Not enough hop flavor that I expect for an IIPA. I think this is a good IPA (not double), and I believe this beer is overrated. Just not bold enough for an imperial IPA.

nice orange/yellow body with a bubbly white head that leaves thin webbing on the glass.aroma is a nice mix of ivy,juicy fruit gum,pine,citrus,and a malty backbone.the flavor doesnt bring out the hops as much.i pick up more bitterness and alcohol than anything else.

A great addition to the looking glass series. A heavy and potent IPA that has more body than most double IPA’s. A lighter head than expected, still quite a good brew to sit down with. The alcohol does creep up on you. A good earthy taste.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a lightly hazed yellow orange with a white head and plenty of sticky lace. Surprisingly, the aroma is mostly crystal malts, and some bread. They hops do not pop much at all. Same with the flavor. This beer is nothing that I expected. Hopefully its just old.

This is one phenomenal IPA. As soon as you open the bottle and breathe in deeply you are transported to a citrus wonderland of bursting ruby red grapefruits. It’s ever present with its deep orange body. The first sip is an understatement as its not till the 2nd or 3rd sip that this beer really takes over your palate with its medium IPA bitterness. It’s smooth as it rolls over your tongue and then it wallops your pallet with its double serving of hops. This is one IPA i would love to have in a 6 pack.
