Apr 15, 2009 bottle.
Pours a bright, clear light copper color, half inch of tight off white head that sticks around and leaves plenty of lace. Aroma of light, crisp grapefruit and sweet oranges. Flavor starts with sharp grainy bitterness, sharp lemons and grapefruit, some pine needles. Not much malt or sweetness to speak of- some thin grainy sweetness in the background that stays there. Palate is even and full, lightly crisp and dry finish. Solid DIPA, though would be helped by some more depth to the hop character.

Apr 14, 2009 Awesome beer. Hoppy but sweet, much better tha the Pils from lagunitas, just a really good IPA. Alchol flavor is very present for a 7.5 abv beer. smooth and very tasty nonetheless. Highly recommended.

Apr 12, 2009 Gold/orange pour with light white head and lace. Aroma of light citrus and evergreen. Flavor is more citrus with a semi sweet malt kicker. Abv hidden really well at 7.5. Nice lingering medium/hard bitter. Well balance. Just not a lot of hops in the nose for me but a very good beer.

Apr 4, 2009 A strong Ipa flavor, with sweet bubblegum coriander and a non-hop tasting causticness in addition to the great I2PA flavor.

Apr 2, 2009 Bottled. My bottle had leaked due to cork opening a little bit by rough contact with other bottles in the parcel on way to Finland. I tasted it straight away as I opened the parcel and realized what had happened. It was fine except that the bottle had lost all the carbonation making it kind of flat. Also, no foam formed while pooring. So it was a little bit real ale -like. Anyhow, pours copper-brownish. Aroma of exotic fruit, mango and pineapple, and slightly bitter hoppiness. Hoppy flavor is deliciously fruity and malty sweet. Hoppiness was kind of lame to me, maybe due to leaking.
