Oct 18, 2007 Updated: Oct 27, 2007Powerful IPA. Taste is citrusy, hops present, but overall, I feel this beer is very smooth (especially considering the alcohol content). Color is copper. VERY hoppy aroma. Everyone of my friends that I’ve had try this have been equally as impressed (and most of them aren’t "beer" drinkers). A must have, or at least try, for anyone who likes IPA’s.

Oct 16, 2007 Pours a coppery golden color into the glass with an ippediate hoppy aroma that the 9.2% ABV comes out in. Smells hoppy and citrusy... like grapefruit. The flavor is of grapefruit and hop and, once again, the high alcohol content is also present. The grapefruit flavor also sticks with you for a while after drinking.
12 oz. bottle.

Oct 16, 2007 Rich gorgeous shade of amber, with a light off white head. Smell is big and grapefruity right off the bat. Like grapefruit syrup. Citrusy, honey tones and some grainy malt. Taste is pungent, hoppy, bitter, but well within a nice drinkable limit for a double IPA. More fruity bitterness than astringency which is nice. A quick clean finished, and balances even more and sweetens up a bit as it warms. A very nice double IPA, and perhaps my favorite.

Oct 15, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a wonderfully clear gold. Thin, white head. Aroma of citrus, orange peel. Nicely bitter hops hit you from the first sip. Some piney hints, grass. As the beer opens up, the alcohol comes out to play. Good beer.

Oct 13, 2007 Draft at Barcade. Lots of good tropical fruit and grapefruit in the aroma. The taste is similar, very citrusy with a grapefruit finish. Good stuff.

Oct 12, 2007 Wow. Powerful and massive IIPA here. At first scent I thought I was gonna be disapointed. But I took a big gulp and was blown away by powerful flavors or citrus grapefuit and then a bitter hopiness that wouldnt go away long after swallowing. One of the best I’ve ever had.

Oct 12, 2007 Tap at Barcade’s 3rd Anniversary Party: Pours a nice glowing copper/orange with a thin consistent head. This stuff is intensely aromatic, filled with loads of tropical fruits. It’s so natural and mango-like that it almost seems like mango-citrus juice. There’s also a subtle hint of squash as it warms. Great hop depth. The body is thick, mildly carbonated and chewy. The hop flavors are a full- tropical fruit, citrus scale. Lots of blood orange, with a slightly sticky, but never cloying malt back. The finish is resiny and grapefruit like. This stuff has an ideal amount of bittering hops to balance out the sticky body. Great hop depth, fruity, and highly drinkable at 9.2% ABV. Good stuff.
