COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Above and beyond an India Pale Ale--I2PA is radically hopped with an intense aroma and hop bitterness. Unfiltered and aged for 9 months before it leaves the brewery--not for the faint of heart. I2PA is brewed with two-row Pipkin Pale malts, Saaz, Cascade and Northwest Golding hops.

my notes have beenblown to the wind, all I can say is hoofing it uphill 6 blocks to the alehouse was worth it. This double IPA has everything you want in aroma - citrus plus pine plus floral and is exceedingly quaffable - a beautiful substructure of malt. I can say that as a lover of DIPA, I would have a hard time finding one I would recommend more.

Finhead (705) - OFallon, Illinois, USA - MAY 25, 2012
A cloudy, orange pour with a thin, white head. It has a wonderful hop aroma full of grapefruit, pine, and orange juice. The medium body has an oily texture with average carbonation. The taste is moderately bitter in the beginning and steadily increases into the dry finish.

zgaier (291) - Coral Springs, Florida, USA - MAY 16, 2012
Pours an orange amber with an off white head and a sweet, hoppy aroma. Taste is sweet, of fresh hops, citrus, grapefruit, and slight alcohol with a heavy bitter finish. Great double IPA with a lot of hop flavor.

sulawang (220) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 13, 2012
pours cloudy peachy orange, with a nice foamy head. Strong aromatic tangerine nose. Drinks with a nice creamy mouthfeel, tastes of tangerine, bitter orange peel, apricot, and transitions in to a super long lingering 9/10 bitter finish. Hits hard and aggressive. Very drinkable, particularly when nicely chilled.

anders8000 (154) - aarhus.c., DENMARK - MAY 11, 2012
Draft. Pours orange with a white head. Light fruity hoppy aroma with a hint of pine. The flavor has a good amount of bitterness, but with not a lot of hop flavor.

Creamy mouthfeel, good lace. Not bad tasting but on the bitter side, and a wee astringent. -- Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone.
