Petaluma, California USA

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

UPDATED: FEB 5, 2012 Drank this after the stoudts and it in my opinion is better...pours orangeish with light creamy head. smells of fruits and hops. Taste is a good blend of sweet/bitter.

Pours amber orange with a small off white head. Very fresh aroma of honey and grapefruit. Taste is caramel, grass grapefruit. It’s a little watery with a dry bitter finish.

Bouteille de 650 ml acheté le 9 juillet 2009, à Charles Street Liquors à Boston. Cuivre claire, petit collet. Arome d’houblon sucré licoreux, petits fruits muries. Goût de céréal mi-sucré, houblon un peu amère et assez alcoolisé, finition sucré amère. Une très bonne IPA, mais je n’irais pas le nommé une double!

(Bottled) Almost clear copper-amber with a small head. Aroma of piney hops and strawberry fruitiness. Flavor is quite fruity with moderate bitterness, lots of exotic-fruity aroma hops, and slightly sweet malty backbone. Medium body, very soft carbonation. A clean and well-made IPA, but maybe not so clearly on the Double IPA side.

Pours an off-white lacing head with an amber-golden body. Smells of mellow floral, citrus, and resin hops. Flavor is the same as the aroma. Finish is bitter and sticky. Mellow and sweet, not sure if the bottle has some age.

Bottled, piny spicy aroma, some citrus, maybe orange, nice malty feel, terrific IPA.

Similar alc. content to sumpin sumpin which I just tried, but this one is called an IIPA. This one is clear and orange. Pine nose. Very nice malty mouthfeel. This one favors the malt a bit more than some, but is nicely balanced. Nice beer.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2012 Clear copper body with a small white head that leaves some stringy lace. Grapefruit nose with hop flowers and slightly caramelized sugar. Clean sweetness upfront, with grapefruit flavors and cereal malt on the finish. Well balanced for the most part. Full body with soft carbonation and the slightest hint of alcohol.
