GABF2004... Poured a golden (light for an IIPA) color with a white head. Sweet and citrus, strong hop aroma. Aroma burnt my nosehairs. Spicy, bitter, grapefruit taste, nice sweet and fruity malts. Just another incredible IIPA being served at the GABF!

4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.

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.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
3.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
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.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.
