Mar 31, 2008 Good sweet malt, honey, and hops aromas with pineapple notes. Rose orange colors with a whitish head. Flavors are the same as the aroma with a good balance of sweet and bitter. Mild palate. Fruity and sweet with a good hoppy backbone. Very enjoyable and drinkable.

Mar 26, 2008 22oz bottle. Clear orange-amber with a small creamy head. Fruity and floral aroma with tobacco, mango, grapefruit. Pretty mellow flavor for a dipa, but drinkable as well. Creamy and citric, with light prolonged bitterness. medium body comes off a little thin for the strength. Small bubbles. Not enough flavor for a double for me, but their regular IPA is more drinkable and comes off as hoppier for me too.

Mar 25, 2008 Pours orangish color with big, rocky off white head. Citrusy hop aroma. Sweet flavor with lots of hops and some malts to balance it out. Overall a decent IIPA, very good for the price.

Mar 22, 2008 Pours orange/amber with no bubbles and a medium off-white foamy head. Nice fresh hop aroma with citrus, mango and peach. Pretty salty stuff with a somewhat weak body. Still the flavor is impressive. Tropical fruits emerge and it gets quite juicy. Some tingle in the mouth from the hops. Not the greatest double... but pretty damn good.

Mar 22, 2008 big nose on this.... very sweet with a side of hops. pour is brown golden with a bubbly head that retains fairly well and laces the glass. The front end on this is sweet, and the sweetness is immediately thinned out by the perfect shot of hops. medium big body and really a not too overpowering aftertaste. I could say that the commercial description makes sense because it is awfully similar to the regular IPA, but bigger. and thats why i gotta say I like it that much more because of it. Beautiful Job. Little too sweet, but easily one of my favorites. If you could find the medium of this and Stone’s Ruination, I’d be all over it.

Mar 21, 2008 Hazy orange with a high head. Powerfull aromatic hops all the way through: grape and lemon with some alcohol to notice. Too much I’m afraid.

Mar 20, 2008 750 ml bottle, RBNAG07. Amber colour. Lightly cloudy. Tall fine-laced light beige head. Oily sweet malty nose. Drying hoppy aroma with a slight medicinal aroma. Smooth texture cut by rich and sharp hops. Bitter hops nicely balanced by sweetish malts.

Mar 18, 2008 Nice amber poor with decent head. Smell of pine and some citrus. Has a good flavor but not very intense for a double IPA in my opinion. I like it but if I want extreem hops there are two or three others I would go to. Dont get me wrong I like it. Its somewere between a double and regular IPA.
