on tap at slow bar. more citrus than piny, caramel. reddish amber with thin white head (if I hadnt just had the full nelson i would have been more wowed by this, most solid, strong & florid) good in the mouth. hops dominate the flavor, grapefruit & pine, but dont go too far, step or two from the edge, honey in the back

Dec 29, 2008 Bottle thanks to riversideAK. Pours a amber with decent sized head. Hoppy floral aroma. Flavor is fruity with hops, good bit of caramel that works well with the big hop punch front.

Dec 24, 2008 22oz bottle acquired in trade with riversideAK -thanks!-. Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops, a little earthy, and citrus. The floral earthiness dominates. Tastes of fruitiness, floral, caramel, and some toastiness. Fruity sweet and a lighter bitter hoppiness. Alcohol content well hidden.

Dec 15, 2008 Updated: Dec 19, 200822oz bottle brought back from Portland, OR. Thick, glowing orange brown color. Nice lasting quarter inch head. Seawater and hop aroma. The taste is full and delicious. Earthy hops and balanced maltiness perfectly balance themselves. Some hop syrup tastes, with a subdued dry, sandy mouthfeel. This is a World Class IIPA.

Pours a nice cloudy golden orange color, nice carbonation, nice little creamy off-white head, with some nice sticky lacing left behind. The nose is hoppy, with a nice malt note added in, some nice citrus, slight pine. The taste is sweet, pretty hoppy, nice maltiness added, nice citrus/pine notes. Medium body, pretty nice bitter dry finish. Drinkable, really enjoying this brew, recommended.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Big, syrupy and sticky throughout. Sharp, biting celery and toothpaste/mint hops, along with an astringent green tea note make this double IPA somewhat unpleasant, brash, unrefined and needlessly aggressive. Passable.
