Poured from a bomber. Orange and mostly clear pour. Thin white head. Fruity aroma. Amazing taste as good as any IPA I have had. Orange pine grapefruit hoppy floral - all my favorite attributes in this one. On my short list top 5-10 I have had ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This ballast concoction is golden amber in color. Not much for head. Nose isn't too apparent. Tastes spicy up front and finishes slightly bitter in the back. Overall big beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Copper-orange body with a small white head. Aroma of citrusy hops, very little malt. The flavor is much stronger, nice blend of hops. Great double ipa.

Very solid aroma.fruity and flowery. Nice clear orange and copper appearance with a nice white head.taste is mild and balanced for a double. Very drinkable and dangerous for a double. Another solid offering from ballast point.one of my favorite brewers.

mcberko (4145) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 6, 2013
22 oz. bottle, sent from Neillago (thanks a lot man), pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Nose is both very hoppy and very malty, with loads of resinous hops, a little grapefruit and a whopping caramel malt backbone. Flavour matches this, with grapefruit, loads of resinous hops, some tropical fruits, and a big syrupy caramel malt. Not my preferred type of IIPA, as this is a big malty one, and not very dry and highly drinkable. At least there is no cloying sweetness despite the high malt balance. Overall, well-made and enjoyable, but not my type of IPA.
