nicolascage (105), Copenhagen (Virum), Denmark Sep 14, 2007 Bottle. Mild for a double IPA. very well balanced hop / malt profile. considerable hop profile but still reasonable easy drinkable. very nice. Goodgrief (1147), Middletown, Delaware, USA Sep 11, 2007 Nov. 2005 - Beer poured with nice color and moderate head. Appearance and taste was of citrusy/piney hops. There were some nice maltiness there, but not really enough. Mouthfeel was kinda oily. The alcohol taste was prevalent and overly bitter. Good, but not great Beerlando (2286), Orlando, Florida, USA Sep 11, 2007 Clear, firey orange body with a small white head that settles to a thin film. Minimal spotty lacing noted. The aroma shows big and buttery, toffee malts, brown sugar, and ample tangerine and pine hops. The flavor is again very malty up front. Heavily buttered toffee, biscuit, and caramel comprise the malt base. Hops of the grapefruit variety are moderately strong, but far from overpowering. Excellent balance. Mildly astringency in the long, bitter finish, but not enough to get worked up over. Substantial body makes for a medium-full mouthfeel. Slightly sticky though not overly cloying. Nice brew. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 11, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours a copper color with a nice white head. Nice hoppy aroma of pine, grapefruit, and sweet malts. Flavor is well balanced with caramel, citrus, grapefruit and some malt sweetness with a strong and clean finish. A very good double ipa. bikesandbeers (468), Los Angeles, California, USA Sep 8, 2007 On tap a Toranado SF, 24 Aug 07.
