GMCC2181 (848), Bear, Delaware, USA Jun 1, 2009 Bottle from ericandersnavy...thanks bro. Batch 8137? Nice red color. Monster head. Nice aroma of hops and malts. Taste is a well balanced DIPA... Nice maltynes and hop flavor but neithier out-does the other.. A little on the sweet side but over a super easy drink. Thanks Eric TheSponge (272), Lynnwood, Washington, USA May 25, 2009 750ml bottle purchased at Central Market in Mill Creek, WA. Pours a cloudy amber color with a very thick/foamy cream-colored head. Aroma: Strong hops and grapefruit. Flavor: Same as the aroma, with a hint of pine and white pepper. msante79 (785), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA May 21, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours hazy golden amber with light tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, hops, pine, orange zest, grapefruit and caramel. Flavor is sweet malts, caramel, light fruits, orange and other citrus. Nice looking beer with good balance. Nice sweet flavor for an IPA and not bitter but that is ok. Not that hoppy but has a nice flavor to it. Enjoyable. nickd717 (1276), Palo Alto, California, USA May 18, 2009 Bottle as a gift. Pours a bright golden-amber color with a nice off-white head. Enticing aroma of piney hops and sweet malt. Flavor is sweet caramel/pale malt and citrus/pine hops with slight oxidative notes (but not really to a fault). Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Isn’t this more of a DIPA than a single? HarmonKill-a-Brew (316), Wilmar, Arkansas, USA May 17, 2009 Aroma was piney and malty. Flavor was pretty much the same thing. Sort of a muddy brown/copper color. Pretty good, maybe just a little heavy on the hops for me. tturner (103), , Washington, USA May 16, 2009 well balanced. on the bright and cheery side of astringent and thin... citrus, even a touch of lemon in the nose. a smidgen thin overall, and overpriced. Brings something new to table. great refreshing summer beer. trevor211 (500), Seattle, Washington, USA May 14, 2009 Pours a murky copper with a huge off-white head. Tons of dry hops in the aroma, and barely enough caramel malt to sufficiently counter. Nice, full mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation. Nice and bitter without crossing any lines. This is good! crackedmachine (82), Seattle, Washington, USA May 12, 2009 Hoppy, yeasty, slightly sour aroma pops out of the bottle. Pours a deep, translucent orange-red with a very thick tan head. Caramel malt is the core of the flavor, with a lingering spiciness and bitter finish. Not overly sweet, but also without the strong Cascade/Columbus hop flavor of many IPAs. A bit of noticeable alcohol. This is an interesting alternative to the West Coast style I typically prefer, and a nice use of couple of less common hop varieties.
