DLD 2009, thanks to [?]: Poured from the can, this had a light golden body with a thick white head. It had a soft aroma, citrusy hops over sweet pale malt. The flavor began with a toffee/caramel sweetness, soon balanced (or more) by a sturdy PNW hop bitterness. Not bad.

Clear copper, sticky dense head, perfect and picturesque. Fresh hop aroma. Caramel malt, holds up big to the strong biting hops. Great on the golf course.

Pours coppery with a two finger, fluffy, off white head. Aroma is citrus and piney hops. Flavor is dominated by the hoppy bitterness with not enough malt to balance it out. Thats great if you enjoy hop bombs like me.

Can. Pours deep copper to deep gold at bottom of glass with 2-finger fluffy white head. Nose is huge hops, melon, grapefruit, mango, berry....marvelous aroma in this!. Tastes very hoppy, mangoey, tangeriney, with caramel malt and strawberry. The nose and flavor in this remind me a lot of Stone 10, but it falls off a bit late and becomes a bit muddled. Nonetheless, this one is a great IPA, with hops out the ass.

Aroma is slightly vegetable, but mostly passion fruit and malt sweetness. Taste is sweet, slightly onion on the flavor. A bit of wateriness, some passion fruit, and biscuit. Finish is bitter, and lingers. Solid.
