Tried this beer warm and cool and it stands up. Good complexity and balance in the malt and hops. Awesome beer!
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Great aroma, not that hoppy, more grassy and sweeter than I expected from a double ipa; overall a very enjoyable beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy, reddish-orange pour with a white head. The aroma has a light fruitiness with floral hops and bready malt. It has a medium body with a slightly creamy texture and lively carbonation. The taste is well balanced. It begins bitter, becomes mildly sweet, and finishes dry.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours hazy gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, citrus, grass and pine. Taste is bittersweet with lingering tartness. Medium bodied with sticky finish. Thought this was very good.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Beautifully unfiltered straw color with average head. Palate is rich and thick! Hop mix is unique. Lots of balancing malt sweetness!
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma is strong and VERY hoppy, with undertones of dry hay and fresh grapefruit. It pours a hazy golden yellow with a very thick and rather persistent ivory head. Hoppy flavor is more sweet than bitter, citrus-fruity with hints of hay and butterscotch. Butterscotch? First time I’ve gotten a snip of that in an IPA. Firm, smooth texture has a subtle but persistent fizz, leaving a tingly, fruity, hoppy finish. Sling some down your throat!

Bottle shared out of a beer of the month club. I had no idea what to expect, I’d never even heard of this brewery before. I have to say I was ultimately pleased with this beer. The aroma has a wallop of fresh, well rounded hop goodness. It doesn’t pop like some of the best IIPA’s, but it’s more than serviceable. Lots of citrus and a good amount of pine bite make up the aroma. The flavor has a balance of dry citrus notes, herbs and a zesty finish. Gunslinger has a fairly hefty malt profile, interfering slightly with the hop potential. There are mild metallic notes and very faint lactic hints, but overall this is a good tasting beer.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Surprisingly thin-bodied for a double IPA. I don’t feel like there’s quite enough of that malty sweetness I like in my imperial IPA’s to take the edge off of the overwhelming hops. Also, note that the website has this listed as 8.3% ABV while the bottle itself has it at 9%.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Purchased at Toco Hills in Atlanta. They had all 4 of these beers there in 6 pack cardboard boxes. Golden/copper pour with a thin white head. Huge citrus hop aroma. Flavor is intially pretty malty with some caramel sweetness but then the hops really hit you. Grapefruit, orange, maybe some pear. Finish is a bit sticky with lingering grapefruit. This one is very nicely balanced and pretty respectable for the style.
