I have had this beer many times and it is definitely one of my favorite DIPAs. Citrusy and malty sweet, the balance becomes more bitter (and therefore better balanced) as it warms and you drink. Outstanding!

Best IPA that I’ve had so far. Typical piney and grapefuitty aroma. Hides the 9% very well.

On Tap at Shallo’s. Pours slight cloudy dark copper with appealing foamy head. Lots of fresh citrus hops on the nose with a good malt character as well. Taste is rich hop greatness! The malt balance really makes this one special. A tiny amount of caramel and something like marshmallow comes through making this a truly unique tasting double. It’s no mistake that this is the highest rated of the DFH ’minute’ family.

The bottle looks great, the beer in the glass also. Starts quite hoppy and strong, also intense spicy notes, caramel, some fruit. Modest alcoholic. Well balanced finish, goes down warming still with nice hoppy notes. A great beer! Big thanks to Cletus (jjpm74) for the bottle!

Pours hazy copper with a nice white head, smells of thick hops of grapefruit and citrus with more emphasis on pine. Tastes very hoppy with a floral/piney emphasis, and finishes extremely nice and bitter. Very thick mouthfeel. Overall a very good DIPA!

12fl oz bottle poured into a semi-clear plastic cup (I’m still at the hotel). Amber with a ton of creamy white head. Aroma is raisins and some other fruit, slight alcohol. Flavor is raisin, alcohol, strong hops bitterness. The flavor sort of sneaks up on you and grabs you and doesn’t want to let go. Finish is bitter and long and leaves you with some warming alcohol. This is an intense beer. This is my first American IPA. I didn’t care for any of the British examples I’ve had. I think I prefer the American hops. This brew really grabs you by the balls. More than just a beverage, it is an experience to be had. Good stuff.

Pours golden, white head. Aroma is light hoppy, but it is masked with some "wet dog".... Very strange. Flavour is hoppy, flower and some cirtus. Also some sweet caramel and honey. This is not what I have expected from this beer. I must taste it again.
