Apr 3, 2008 22oz bottle thanks to Odeed. Poured a glowing amber color, some head and lacing. Aroma of floral hops and sweet malts. A creamsical candy taste. Very creamy body, lots going on here. Grapefruit, pine, sugars, hops, more hops. Alcohol well hidden but sneaked up on me, left me a bit numb. A truely enjoyable IIPA.

Apr 2, 2008 Bottle: An orange beer with perfect clarity and a collapsing off white head. Oily hop/resiny aroma. Rich, but boring. Just homogeneous hop resins. Rich body; slightly slick. Flavor is piny hop resins. Not much depth to it. The finish is almost peppermint-like. It would satisfy a hop craving, but it’s lacking malt depth & other nuances to make it a complete ale. Perhaps I’m just being overly critical on IPAs lately...

Apr 1, 2008 soapy hop bitterness and all kinds of citrus and floral hop flavors. Smells and tastes like some fresh sticky bud. Very green, grassy and herbal. Lime, some orange and I wouldn’t have picked it up without reading it in another rating, but there is a hint of cilantro in there too. Definitely hop forward with just a malt backbone. bitterness is big but pretty round and smooth. Nice light but full mouthfeel. Carbonation is prefect to add a light body without being too strong. A really interesting, well crafted beer. Not perfect, but something somewhat new and well crafted. well done.

Mar 28, 2008 bomber. very good IIPA out of the booming San Diego beer scene... solid hops throughout this beer from aroma to the finish.... the bitterness stay with you well after the finish. Overall this IIPA is well balanced... not too overpowering and not too weak. Sweet citrus powered hoppy aroma that could be a bit stronger.... maybe I need a fresher bottle. Excellent hop presence on the palate. Great color and 1" head. Great beer.... try one if you can get it.

Mar 25, 2008 Tap. This high quality I-IPA knocked my socks off. I was surprised by its mild hoppiness and minimal alcohol heat. Some subtle malt came through in the taste.

Mar 23, 2008 Pale orange, cloudy, thick frothy head. Zesty resinous herbal hop aroma. Heavy mouthfeel, sweet but simple malt, massive amounts of resinous bitter hoppiness. Very bitter, very dry, somewhat sticky. Not the best balance, but a very bold beer regardless.

Mar 22, 2008 Bottle. Light amber color, hoppy nose, medium white head. Sweet body, hoppy, unusual hop flavors. A bit cloying with peppery alcohol.
