Aug 3, 2009 Updated: Oct 1, 2009First off, Great Divide - start distributing to California! Anyway, I had a bottle of this at the Brickskeller in DC, which is pretty much twice as far from Denver as I live, but they get GD beers and we don’t. This is a very good DIPA. Orangish-copper color with a nice white head and good lacing. Aroma is piney and citrusy hops and sweet malt. Flavor is sweet, toffeeish caramel malt balanced by lots of fresh-tasting pine and citrus and hop bitterness lingering on the finish. Hop oils on the palate, medium-full for the style.
Re-rate: had this again on tap at Great Divide tasting room. This falls a tiny bit flat on flavor, really not standing up to some of the better IPAs out there. Have to knock it down from a 8 to 7 on flavor and 16 to 15 overall. Still really good though.

Aug 2, 2009 Again, looking for a competitor to Founders IPA. This stuff is good but not as good as Founders. Would drink again but not over Centinial IPA!

Overall Impression:
I’m pretty sure I’ve had this brew before, but anyway, a friend ordered this one and I tried a bit. Quite tasty and enjoyable, definitely a beer I should drink again.

Aug 2, 2009 Rating #1464 for this beer. 22oz bottle. Deep, dark copper pour, it looks like it should, like you would see in a magazine or something, the kind of look that makes you crave a beer, had a very niceclingy, well lacing light tan head. Very floral, all those good hop aromas in theres, some pine, some citrus all blending very nicely together. Very bitter, at least it was alot more bitter than I thought it would. Not nearly as balanced as I would have liked, but still a tasty DIPA.

Jul 21, 2009 Tap at PIB. Dark amber pour, small white head. Huge hop aroma, pine, grapefruit, floral and light caramel malt. Big hop flavor as well, going from citrus at first to pine and toffee mixed together in mid-sip and finishing with a bitter hop blast. Extremely tasty IIPA.

Jul 21, 2009 Hoppier than most things on the planet.
Massive beer, massive taste, bitter as hell, nose of toffee and hops, tastes as it smells only stronger, quite a bit of alcohol comes through too.
Stays on the palate for ages, love this stuff.
