Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. Hazy caramel appearance, pours a thin head that disappears quickly. A great balance between bitter hops and sweet malts that are almost too sweet. A must drink for any IPA/Double IPA lover. For casual beer drinking, i like the 60 minute better, but if your looking to concentrate
on your brew, clearly the better of the two. overall-A+

Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. Amber colored with a small lively off white head. Aromas of hops, orange, pineapple, sugared grapefruit, flowers, grain and caramel. Flavour of vanilla, caramel, alcohol, corn flakes, sweet malts, honey, orange and parmesan cheese. Lovely complex interpretation of this style.

Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. Hazy orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma: Mostly sweet and malty actually, notes of tosted bread, spicy hops, caramel, toffee, rosted sesam seeds. Taste: Also very malty, but with a bitter finish. Notes of spicy hops, citrus, caramel, roasted sesam seeds, nuts, alcohol. A bit too sticky and alcoholic for my liking. Full bodied. Very malt dominated for a Double IPA. Maybe this bottle was a bit old?

Apr 26, 2009 12oz bottle. It has been a week of some very BIG IIPA’s. This one is certainly great but very different than many in its style. Pours a dark brown/reddish. As complex a nose as I’ve ever experienced in this style. Candied fruit, big malt and piney hop combo. Long and slightly sweet, rich flavor that lingers pleasantly. Very good.

Apr 26, 2009 Bottle from Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam. Dark-red copper pour with tiny white head. Aroma is predominantly sweet, candy, pineapple, piney hops, bready malt. Full mouthfeel with tastes of pine, raisins, caramel, bready malt and various spices. Very oily palate, a bit of warming alcohol. Malty and sweet - where is that hops? Is my bottle too old perhaps?

Excellent overall. Honey like sweetness followed by citrus overtones, malt, and then the classic IIPA bitterness.
If it was cheaper it would be my house beer.

Apr 23, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine (bottled January 26, 2009). Pours orange; hard to distinguish in appearance from an IPA. Thin white head on top. Floral hop aroma with a malty sweetness. Piney hop flavor with a well balanced caramel malt sweetness. Excellent balance of hop bitterness and stickiness in the mouthfeel. Alcohol is not noticable at all. Certainly one of the best DIPAs out there.
