Jan 8, 2008 Bottle from encinitas, CA. Hazy orange/amber with large, long lasting white head. Citrus and grainy hop aroma with slight lemon, not all that strong, but nice. Nice fresh hop flavor of pine and grapefruit with large bitterness, slight malt tones of caramel, not very balanced but a very nice hop bomb. Hotly carbonated that fades to nice creamy full body. A nice brew with wonderful hops, only wish it were more balanced but that is personal preference.

Jan 7, 2008 Bomber. Poured cloudy amber with a fine white head. Aroma of fresh cut grass, and tons of floral hops. Taste was hops, oranges, lemon and pine. Hints of Lysol present and certainly a little harsh. I like a good IIPA but in this case I’ll take green flash’s single IPA over this.

Jan 5, 2008 it is just a big ol’ double IPA with nothing else; thin for what it is, but otherwise; good--typical flavor and aroma, bigger and more fresh aroma, however.

Jan 4, 2008 Poured a slightly hazy amber orange color body with a big, sticky, off-white head. The aroma is sweet pine and oranges with some carmel. Flavor has the same hop profile as the regular IPA with a much bigger malt backbone. Seemed a little off balance in the wrong direction, a little too malty.

Jan 2, 2008 This is more of on the lines of what im looking for in an IIPA. Copper color with a big smack of hops and pine. Flavor was the same with a grassy citrus finish to it. the aftertaste hung around as well. Outstanding brew.

Jan 1, 2008 Bottle from Daniel, thanks. One I have wanted to try for a long time, and the other night I finally got to try it. Pours out an orange / yellow color with a white head on it. Sweet hoppy smell full of pine and grassy and plenty of citrus. The taste is mostly hops, balanced very well, fresh tasting. Not overly bitter, but a very nice double ipa which one could easily session. This beer would probably not be very good with age, so thank god this one was fresh. No alcohol detected, just a nice west coast IPA. Thanks.

Dec 31, 2007 Updated: May 23, 2008This is a perfect example of the PERFECT West Coast IIPA. The hops balance, better than any other IIPA, the malt adds sweetness to the hops and the result is a perfectly balanced, high alcohol IPA that can be taken in session if you’re looking to push the envelope...a lot! This stuff pours a nice carmel golden amber, with minimal white head. Lacing present, but not too much. Flavor is a mellow, yet very hopped and graciously malted golden flavor.
