2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Light amber color, average coarse head. Strange aroma of lemon and spice, horse, old cheese and a stale malty note. Grassy, piney hops aroma; caustic, with some florality. Somewhat soapy finish, quite bitter. Proof that just throwing a bunch of hops into some malt is not all there is to making a good IPA.

Bottle from beerboxer. Has a sweet start on front of mouth. Then goes into a piny taste. Has a slight bitter finish. Color is copper with an off white head.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Caramel-colored beer with a thick, bubbley white head. The lacing coats the side of glass. There is a slight Citrusy aroma with a floral nose that follows. I like any beer that has a Hoppy aroma. There is a medium bitterness to it. It has a piny finish which I am not a fan of because I got sick on gin when I was younger. It has a thin texture. Body is medium and carbonation is soft. Just because of the piny finish I was not a fan of this beer.

Poured into a pint glass. Transparent, amber with a short head.
A deep citrus smell and nothing else.
The taste is sharp and to the point. It is an Imperial IPA and drinks like one. Though it is not all "punch-you-in-the-face" hops. It is balanced nicely.
Bubbly bubbles. Medium body.
A good IPA. Not amazing but a very solid drink. Lovely.

Incredibly fruity smell. Quite pale in color. Flavorful, but not as bitter as the IBUs indicate.

Very nice IPA. Not as intense as I was expecting (like Racer 5), but chill, relaxed, and something to write home about.

On tap at the brewpub on Marshall St. in downtown Portland, OR. Dark orange pour with a thin off-white head. Aroma of pine, grass, and grapefruit rind; in other words very hop-forward. Pine and citrusy hops greet the tongue first but are followed by a clean biscuity malt finish that keeps the tongue from being overwhelmed by the bitterness. A good DIPA.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle… Clear, bright orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Good retention. The aromatic scheme is dominated by an assortment of hops – floral, piney, resiny and dank. Full-bodied and velvety with airy carbonation. The flavor is heavily bitter. Try as they might, the sturdy biscuit malts and toasted barley cannot provide even a semblance of balance. These malts are doing 45 in a 70 mph zone. Lingering bitter finish. I’m not a hop-head, but if I were, this would be a regular. Quality stuff.

Bottle. Pours a dark copper color. Very good IPA. Very hoppy and bitter. Aroma and flavors of citrous, but the extreme hops overpowers anything else.
