May 9, 2008 12 oz. Clear copper with a very small head that tries to persist. Aroma of honey, resin, tea leaf, grapefruit, and slight cocoa. Flavor of earthy tea leaf, honey, evergreen resin, toasty nut, cocoa, and grapefruit. Near the end of the glass, the taste becomes mostly just resin and grapefruit though. Light-medium body is soft and dry.

May 8, 2008 Bottle, Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX.
Pours a nice orange copper with off-white head with good retention. Aroma of nice grape fruit. Flavor was sweet with nice hoppy flavor and nice bitterness in the end. Palat is medium-full mouth feel with medium carbonation. Good IPA.

May 8, 2008 This was pretty standard for a Double IPA, no big surprises. Its a little unbalanced but I knew it would be going in. By the taste I would have guessed it be a regular IPA, not quite thick and sticky enough to be of the double variety. Up against some of the real DIPAs this seems like water.

May 6, 2008 Bottle: Beautiful copper color with a small lingering white head...decent lacing. Solid nose on this...pretty much a citrus-hop bomb. Some notes of light malts, soft spice tones and candied sugar tend to pop up erratically. Very crisp and biting mouth feel leads to a solid floral and resin hop base with some of the mild citrus (pineapple and orange rind) coming through on the finish along with the light malt. Solid brew, but seems to fall b/t an IPA and a IIPA.
