jimbowood (947), Athens, Georgia, USA Dec 13, 2008 bottle from suzygreenburg. a nice iipa. not overwhelming, but full of peppery hop presence. i guess this is a nw take on the style. good. i like it. on second thought, i really like it as it warmed a little. danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA Dec 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a copper with a white disappearing head. Loads of fresh hop floral aroma, lemon peel. Sweet flavors, pine resins, banana, some lemon. Very crisp clean mouth with a delayed bitter finish. Pretty good DIPA! Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Dec 8, 2008 Dirty golden in color with a small off white head. Extremely well balanced in both aroma and flavor between citrus hops and more grassy and piney ones. Not really sure if I like this or Total Domination more, but I know that I am extremely happy to have this brewery in my adopted hometown. cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Dec 7, 2008 22 oz. bottle via trade with diggity7 - Pours a hazy amber color with an off white head. Aroma is floral, citrus, and fruity. Layered lacing. Flavor is sweet and fruity. Not quite as bitter as I expected. Medium body. A good beer. Thanks Nathan. mj (4975), Colorado, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Unfiltered hazed honey orange. Intense grapefruit, pineapple and acidic orange hop nose - assertive, heavy, peppery, pulp-heavy. Strongly bitter and pungent, dank cannabis and churned orange pulp throughout. Wonderfully aggressive and flavorful. 17thfloor (1403), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 28, 2008 I really enjoyed this beer. Pours an unclear sunburst orange/yellow with a small thick frothy white head. Huge sugared pineapple aroma, caramel malt, and fresh pine needles. This stuff is a sugar bomb! but tasty. Lots of citrus, maybe a bit of lemon, light grapefruit with a bitter pine finish. Candy-coated beer. Medium body, lightly sugary, fine carbonation, has a light and crisp quality like a good Belgian white. Not particularly refined, but rather yummy. jsquire (2087), St. Marys, Ohio, USA Nov 26, 2008 Hazy golden color out of the bottle with a thin white head. Huge hop nose of grapefruit rind and dry grass. Flavors of apple cider, apricot, pinneapple, grapefruit rind, and orange juice, with an aggressive grapefruit rind bitterness in the finish. Pretty standard IIPA. LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a murky orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet citrus and fruits. Flavor of nice fruity notes (most citrus but also some tropical fruits and apple) and light hops in the finish. Nicely balanced. This is what a IIPA should be like! Not too sweet/bitter/syrupy at all!! Excellent IIPA.
