Jan 27, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber/orange with a medium head. Aroma of bitter citrus, pine and band-aids. Taste is much the same - with some caramel malt. Not gonna spend a lot of time on this. Alcohol really comes through in an unflattering way.

Jan 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear amber-orange with a moderate white head. Aroma is lots of citrus hops, with a bit of honeyish malt behind them. Flavor is also lots of citrus hops, more grapefruity than the aroma, with some woody bitterness. Moves to somewhat sweet malt with a bit of alcohol and more resiny hops in the finish. Pretty good.

Jan 25, 2008 (bottle) deep amber with white head (one bottle in the 6 was a bit flat, but still tasted OK). Huge citrus hops aroma. Flavor is citrus (grapefruit) hops, enough malt to keep it somewhat balanced.

Jan 20, 2008 Amber color with a white head. Aroma is mainly hops. Taste is citrus hops with an aftertaste that is a little cloying with a fairly thick alcohol sweetness present. Overall, a fairly pleasant beer, but there’s much better IIPA’s out there.

Jan 20, 2008 12 oz bottle purchased at Spirits RB. Pours a clear orange amber with an average size pillowy white head. Aroma is rather one dimensional with lots of citrus(grapefruit) hops shining through. Medium bodied with a very dry finsih that basically dried my mouth out. I wouldn’t say the flavor was one dimensional but more like two dimensional, hops and alcohol. This hoppy mess is a welcome change to all of those overspiced winter seasonal tradgedies. To bad it wsn’t good though.

Jan 19, 2008 Good IIPA treat in the middle of winter. Bigtime grapefruit mixed with a light caramel flavor stemming from the heavy malt presence. Slightly spicy, overall enjoyable.

Jan 18, 2008 Clear orange amber, decent head fades to a very thin film. Aroma is very pleasant, huge grapefruit upfront, quite pure. As it warms, some pine and earth notes emerge in the nose as well. Caramel malts move quickly into a bitter hop finish with grapefruit, pine, earth, and spice. Can’t help but think this might score better if it had a badge other than Mendocino.

Jan 16, 2008 nice golden orange appearance with white head. nose is large on hops. a nice full texture. flavor is strong on malt and hops. doesn’t quite have the alcohol-induced complexity that an imperial ipa like dogfish head 90 minute has. a very solid beer though
