Jul 27, 2008 Sample @ the brewery. Pours a cloudy golden-orange with a frothy white head. Aroma is heavy citrus hops. Taste is the same, with heavy citrus notes balanced by hop bitterness and a surprising smoothness for the style. More low-key than many IIPA’s, but very very nice.

Jul 27, 2008 Good. Not as strong tasting as some other double IPAs, but more drinkable. Alcohol taste is completely covered up by the hops. Lightly bitter grapefruit flavor dominates the taste. Pretty thick and full bodied.

Jul 27, 2008 The beer pours a rich cooper colors with a crazy thick off white head. The nose is big grassy hops with an underpinning of malts. The taste is all about the hops. The hop bitterness is very forward but there is still some good balance that carries through to the finish which is somewhat sticky but dry and hoppy.

Jul 26, 2008 Poured from tap a copper color with medium sized off-white head. Aromas of citrusy and pine floral hops. Flavor is much the same with a big gratefruit and pine resin bitterness balanced with a good malty caramel sweetness. The palate is thick but smooth with a big malt mouthfeel and a nice balance with the sweet and bitter. There is a slight hoppy harshness in the middle but still top rate in my book. I’d drink this over and over.

Jul 20, 2008 Pours nice copper color with big lasting off white head. Aroma is predominately pine hops with a hint of citrus. Somewhat underwhelming pine hop flavors, but it does have a nice malt sweetness to balance the flavor. Has a somewhat sticky palate and the alcohol is well hidden beneath the smooth mouth feel that improves as it warms. The hop flavor is a little muddied, which takes away from the overall quality of the beer. A good beer but definitely not in the upper tier of DIPA’s.

Jul 20, 2008 Not much of a nose. Piney hops, heavy malt character. Full palate, maybe a little citrus mixed in there.
