dmruth (16), Portland, Oregon, USA Mar 20, 2008 (Bottle) A nice gold and cloudy look. There was minimal head, but a smell of citrus. The flavor is fruity and clean. The beer is not particularly bitter. There is a nice smooth feel on the palate. This is very drinkable.
BeerIndustry98 (1), , California, USA does not count Jul 8, 2008 Had 22oz bottle poured in chilled pint glass @ Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena CA. Very aromatic. Cloudy when poured producing a small head. Straightforward double IPA..."Malty, Hoppy, Tasty, Good" as the label goes. Actually very hoppy but not overwhelming with a dry bitter aftertaste that hits back of palate just right. Quality Double IPA. GMCC2181 (287), Bear, Delaware, USA Jul 6, 2008 Extra from sparky27, aka Eaaaasy E! thanks eric! Poured into a snifter, hazy copper/orange color??? No head really...
Aroma is citrus/fruity hops. Taste is maltier then I expected. Not that biitter compared to most DIPA’s. I would not guess 100 IBU’s. Lots of grapefruit. Smooth and tasty just different. Low carbonation and medium texture. Good brew just not great. Thanks E! ajm (248), USA Jul 6, 2008 The IIPA thing again: can appreciate it, can’t love it. This was a very live bottle from Pure Luck in Dirty Hollywood. Nowhere near the orange juiciness and smooth finish of Dreadnaught; this is bottled bitter. Wasn’t too cold, so that may have contributed. SQNfan (369), Wheaton, Illinois, USA Jul 3, 2008 Yellow to golden in color with a thin white head. The nose was filled with tons of mixed citrus followed by some herbs and a touch of caramel malt. In the mouth it is medium-bodied with balancing malt in the mid-palate and a nice dry finish. alafito (323), tijuana, Mexico Jul 1, 2008 Very hazy and almost muddy looking. I got a green apple with caramel and covered with hop pellets. Very smooth and milky palate with some sweetness.
Nice and low alcohol keeps the flavors very present. Resiny aftertaste with lots of earthy tones.
