Aug 6, 2006 Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing.
Body is light amber.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (cookie, toasted grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, apricot, grapefruit), with a note of peach.
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium to full body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly to moderately alcoholic.
Pleasant, but nothing particular special to my senses.

The aroma is malty with light-to-moderate notes of toasted grain, caramel; Hoppy with moderate notes of dried apricot, light resin/pine, chamomile, floral; Yeasty with light notes of cellar: Light miscellaneous note of orange zest. The flavor is moderately-to-heavily bitter/grippy, moderately sweet, lightly acidic with a long, moderately bittersweet/grippy, warm finish. Lots of apricoty retros. The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

Aug 6, 2006 Blonde, thin head. Aroma is all resiny hops, alcohol. Taste begins with big fruity, sweet hops accompanied by a malty backbone. Hops totally change in the finish to a gritty, bitter and earthy variety. Quite long. Quite a unique beer with the two different hop attacks presented. Good stuff.

Aug 6, 2006 Deep orange with a white head. Aroma is malt, hops, orange peels, and grapefruit. Not overly sweet or suculant in the aroma. Very smooth with a dry somewhat bitter finish. Flavor is citrus hops and a big malty body. Didn’t have the flavor of the stock IPA which I prefer over this one. Alcohol wasn’t noticable.

Aug 5, 2006 Cloudy vibrant amber colour. Big fresh grassy, citrusy, slightly woody hop nose. Well-rounded flavours, lots of fruity, citrusy hops and clean pale malts. Certainly not one to blow minds, but very well-made and of universal appeal.

Aug 4, 2006 I love pouring a double IPA and being able to smell all the wonderful hops without even lifting the glass to my nose. Pours a dark and orange color with a thin white head and wonderful lacing. Big orange peel aroma and even bigger citrusy taste. As suggested on the bottle I paired this with a nice blue cheese and it’s ability to cut through the funk of the cheese is fascinatng. Bitter, citrusy, thirst quenching, buzz inducing, wonderful wonderful beer.

Jul 30, 2006 Columbus gathering beer#2. Brought by Sliffy. Poured a cloudy orange color with a medium head. Had an orangish citrus aroma. The flavor was similar and actually finished pretty smooth for being such a hoppy beer.

Jul 29, 2006 Opaque orange color with a small beige head. Aroma of citrus hops and sweet malt. Flavor of citrus hops, oranges, tropical fruits and a hint of alcohol. Tangy finish. Really drinkable for a 2IPA.
