The nose is beautiful! It’s made up of dry herbal, grapefruit,nice malt backbone. The pour is also nice. Pours a nice bright copper with a nice head that leaves good lacing. Flavors are nice and very balanced witch is great. Not just hop water, but more of a well balanced IPA. Flavors are that of a very floral, piney, bright citrus with a nice caramel malt balance. Great job!

22 oz bomber: Deep gold/light amber w/ a lasting, medium white head. Very pungeant hop aroma... Grassy, piney, resiny and raw... And a hint of grapefruit. Caramel and toasty hop figure into the mix as it warms. Go figure... A beer called Hop Stoopid with hops all over the place...! Very little fruitiness other than hops. Hop flavored, but slightly sweet balance. Grassy again, piney, woody, toasty malt, caramel (very light), and oddly enough, pineapple hops. Finish is semi sweet, resiny, lightly piney, and overall, nicely complex from hops. Medium to full bodied, medium CO2, smooth, but not creamy. Nice hop complexities between aroma and flavor! Typical west coast IPA... I wish I could get out there to try more in person on tap!

Rated as they categorized it as a "double/imperial IPA". First of, let me state, that my wife HATES hoppy beers. She can’t even drink a Hop Devil, and nearly gags on Green Flash West Coast IPA. She said she liked this and could drink it. That this beer is a ’99’ on RB in the Double IPA category is total fucking bullshit. This is a sweet, bubble-gummy, over malty, uninspired and quite frankly, sucky. Alllow me to quote from the BCJP style guidelines: "Hop flavor is strong and complex" Strong and complex my ass - it’s sweet and not even hoppy. "High to absurdly high hop bitterness" - where are the hops??? This tastes more like maple syrup than a regular IPA - let alone a DIPA! "A long, lingering bitterness" - there is 0, none, zero, nill, bitterness. Argh - so disappointing - not only in the beer, but the fact that many reviewers here with more beer ratings than I reviewed this so high. STOP THE INSANITY! I’d rather drink a Corona with a lime in it.

bottle. Pours a bright clear copper color, inch of thick head with loads of sticking power. Heavy, aggressive hops on the nose- plenty of grapefruit and lemon, some sticky resin. Minimal malt sweetness. Flavor follows the nose, starting with a sharp and well defined bitterness that coats the palate. Heavy, sharp grapefruit flavors stay in front of earthy sharp pine needles. Almost no malt flavor comes through the hops- some light grainy bread. Palate is thick and full, middling carbonation with a bit of lingering bitterness.

Clear golden pour with a smallish soapy looking head that diminishes almost completely in about two minutes. Decent lace. Aroma of peaches, mango, a little pine. Fuller body than I expected but wanted more, lively carbonation, prefer more bitterness from start to finish. Decent. I’ve had better.

Bottle from City Bev. Pretty awesome DIPA, right up there with the best, IMO. Enjoyed this one on the eve of my final day of class, I believe.

Bottle from TheEpeiist. Orange color. Hopoil, grapefruit and mango in the aroma. Hopbitter oily flavor with pineapple and mango. Malty sweet, raisin. Moderately long aftertaste with loads of fruit and hopbitterness. Good balance. Somewhat sticky mouthfeel.
