Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Petaluma, California USA

At Three Cellars tasting. Light orange with pine and sweet hop aroma. Nicely balanced with sweet malt followed by citric hop finish. Good stuff!

Big Bottle. Poured a clear medium amber. Creamy, light-khaki colored thin head stayed around for some time. Excellent carbonation. Aroma was of hops, plain and simple. Tase was hoppy with a very, very light, almost nonexistent hint of malt. Aftertaste was also very pleasant. Definitely a repeat buy.

wonderful IPA, nice palate and head, tremendously balanced and drinkable - hops are not overpowering but delicious

tasty beer. nothing real special, piney hop flavor, a little sweet at the end. very drinkable for a beer of 7.5%.

Very tasty beer. Has a nice piney and citrus aroma. Finished very clean and is easy drinking.

Great looking beer. Piney hops over a rather sweet malt base. Pretty tasty.

Clear orange amber in color with a nice fluffy white "IPA head". Aroma is sweet hops, but weak overall. Flavor is decent. Not as hoppy and balanced as I had hoped for. Mouthfeel is actually quite smooth and complements the flavor nicely. Overall, a bit weak and boring but drinkable nonetheless.

Poured amber with a fluffy off white head. Aroma of pine and hops. Lots of hops flavor up front with some pine. Finished clean and sort of wet. Not bad at all.
