UPDATED: FEB 23, 2008 22 oz bottle from BevMo: Slightly hazy amber with medium, fading, bright white head. Nose is tropical fruit and caramel. Flavor starts rich and tropical fruit sweet with some citrus followed by a light, lingering orange rind bitter finish. Medium body is creamy with soft carbonation. Alcohol well hidden, but sneaks up on you fast.

On tap@O’brien’s served by none other than the Master Brewer Tom Nickel himself: Deep amber color with a huge frothy off white head. Nose is citrus and caramel. Sweet start turning lightly bitter with a long dry lingering grapefruit rind aftertaste. Smooth creamy mouth feel. Alcohol well hidden.

241112: Cloudy orange color with good lacing head. Rich sticky hop flavor. Good hoppy aroma.

Poured from tap into a large snifter. Light but deep reddish/amber with a thick white head that gives way to thick lacing. Aroma is citrus and pine. Taste matches, but definitely heavy on the pine. Very dry finish that lasts for awhile, giving way to slight sweetness.

from notes: lightly malty, not very hoppy. golden color with almost no head. spicy taste overall. a rather sad beer for sad people. price is decent.

ABV is hidden rather well in this well balanced brew. Not outstanding, but quite nice.

Cloudy orange,lasting white head.Meium citrus hop nose,Big hop profile,huge bodied, great malt presence.Big lasting hop finish. Great lace…Wow

Came all the way to Stavanger Norway to tey this one. Bottled, shared. Taste was smooth and not overly bitter. Tasted well below its strength.

Deep gold with hints of apricot orange colors. Sticky whiteh head. Grapefruit hops and sticky caramel malt nose. Flavor is big and bold with citrus hops, grassy hops, and a very big sweet caramel malt backbone.

Beer pours a light straw. Aroma is virtually non-existant, and a tad malty, which is a bit odd for a double IPA. A thin head retains well and laces down the glass. Flavor profile is strong, bitter hops. Lots of pine - strong malt backbone, but not overly sweet. Hop flavor lasts through initial sip to the mid part of your tongue and even through the finish. This is not a smooth drinker. It’s a good double IPA, but not one I’d necessarily seek out.

Pours hazy deep orange with a small white head. Aroma is strong citrus and sweet caramel.Taste is overall sweet, almost cloying, medium bodied, bordering to watery. Could wish for some more hop bitterness here. Light bitter/sweet finish, harsh.

She’s a simple brew. Take hops, add hops and then finish with more hops. Bitter and dry, did mention hops? Hops is predominant. It’s about hops. Hops. HOPS! But in juice form.
