An intense aroma of bitter hops and grapefruit. This is a tasty IPA, definitely not a subtle one. Tons of bitter hops from the start, but the finish is truly interesting, as the bitterness and the citrus battle back and forth. Pretty good stuff.

This a great beer to drink when you want to get a good buzz without drinking a lot. Love the taste!

Hand bottled @ the brewery. This is one of the best IIPA"s, and one of the better beers I’ve rated. Huge hop aroma w/ flavor donimated by hops and alcohol spiciness. Simple, not overdone w/ malt, and damn good. Nice job Rodger.

6th annual Bistro IIPA fest. This brew won best of show in ’05 and ’04. Failed to place this year. I see why it did so well in year’s past and am shocked it isn’t more highly rated than it is. Wonderfully bitter aroma. Amber body; yellowish, off-white head. Excellent lace. Really good. Good balance. I can’t come up with a way that this could be any better. Outstanding.

Cool brass/copper color, earthy feel, great flavor, and well balanced malt is real treat. Not too heavy and great head, reccomended to other DIPA lovers, close to a green flash imperial IPA style

I think this beer is an excellent brew. It has a nice hoppy taste and the it’s really smooth. Foam quality is awesome and just an overall great beer.
Cheers!

Leafy hops with a fantastic citrus twist on the nose. Pours a beautiful light gold with a very thin foam top. Huge bitter hop bite up front, with an incredibly delicious citrus/grapefruit background. Strong, full flavor with a pleasant carbonation and thin, smooth texture. Overall, I am thouroghly impressed with this brew. As far as a spectacular IPA goes, this brew absolutely nails it. Genius hop flavor coushined by a subtle malt background. I love everything about this, A+ rating.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2005 On tap @ The Bistro- Double IPA Fest where it took the gold. Orange in color with only a whisp of a head. Big, grassy, hop aroma with TONS of orange. I tasted it expecting a huge hop assault, and actually found a somewhat malty sweetness followed by a sharp bitter aftertaste. Finishes very clean.
RE-Rate. The newest batch seems to be much more hop forward (and afterward as well) Sweet and hoppy with noticable alcohol. I wouldn’t expect to mix it with anything later on. Any other beer or food after this monster is a waste of your money! I do love this beer.
