urraca (44), New Jersey, USA Jun 29, 2008 Hazy Orange color with a smaller tan head. Instant notes of a floral-hoppy bouquet. Citrus fruity aroma and a sweet grape, hoppy taste. Very drinkable, and the hops actually don’t overpower the other flavors. But a nice crisp, hoppy finish. belgiumtripel (3), , Indiana, USA does not count Jun 28, 2008 this beer was extremely smooth for a double IPA i really enjoyed it a lot of good flavors going on you can taste the subtle flavors and the intense but not biteing hops. a great beer canoncritic (1), Seattle, Washington, USA does not count Jun 28, 2008 This is simply a great beer. Even by Pacific NW standards. Pretty fruity, which I happen to like. But I would stop at two bottles. Taste becomes a tad too alcohol after two--IMHO. UnaBellaBirra (1), , Illinois, USA does not count Jun 28, 2008 Has the body the 60 minute doesn’t - loved the aftertaste and body in particular. A little stridency in the alcohol takes it away from perfection. I like hops so the criticism of its’ ’hoppiness’ is foreign to me. DirtyD79 (34), Pennsylvania, USA Jun 28, 2008 Definately a strong alcohol taste in this one. Poured out a copper color with a decent head. troopie (848), USA Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Poured deep orange with a thick white head. Lovely floral and citrus aroma. Full hoppy flavour with a big malt taste. Lasting floral finish. A lovely DIPA AleDrinker (1090), Sunnyvale, California, USA Jun 28, 2008 Pours amber with white head that dissipates. Hoppy aroma (duh) mostly pine and a bit sour (not in a good way). Smells and tastes a bit off to be honest. A bit of a vinegar aroma/taste to it. Says it was bottled 10April08 so its not that old. Alcohol comes through a bit. Pretty disappointing. I guess I’ll have to try and find it on draught next time I’m on the east coast, maybe it will taste better?! uhclem (188), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jun 28, 2008 Pale copper pour. Settles to a decent head with good lacing. Nose is of pine and citrus. Taste recapitulates the nose, and adds some grapefruit. Very nice, silken mouthfeel. Aftertaste brings back the grapefruit.
