Jan 31, 2009 On draught at Birreria Paradiso. Clear golden amber color. Very strong hop flavor but well balanced with a very strong presence of malt. Nice one.

Jan 31, 2009 Updated: Feb 3, 2009Pours a thin copper/amber with a medium white head. Dry hopping is apparent in the aroma, along with juicy fruits, toffee, and malt. Drinks very smooth, fruity, piney, and hoppy, a great balance. LIke a mix between an imperial IPA and a red ale. Very solid, Oskar Blues never lets me down, love those guys. Def. recommended.

Jan 30, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Big nose fulla hops. Piney, bitter, sexy, and also with a big sweet malt backbone comin in. Flavor isn’t as good as the nose. Still an absolute knockout. One of the sexiest brews to come out a can since…that other Oskar Blues I just had out of a can.

Jan 28, 2009 The look is orange to amber in color with a pretty good beige head. The smell is hoppy, caramel, grainy, malty, and bready. The taste is just about the same as the smell. Good beer.

Jan 26, 2009 Pours a murky orange out of the can, with a good, dense head. Aroma is nice and sweet, packed with hops, as well as bready malts and cereal grains. This is a very tasty beer. Probably not one I’d put at the top of my list, but I could absolutely see this becoming a ’regular’ for me. Extremely drinkable, despite its ABV and the large amount of hops. There’s also a great earthy yeastiness to counter the sweetness that comes with the style. I wouldn’t blink before I brought a case of this to a gathering.

Jan 25, 2009 Updated: Jun 13, 2009On tap at Naked City. Pours clear copper with a thick, frothy beige head. Aroma is citrus and floral hops and cotton candy, mostly hops in the taste. Sweet citrus hop finish.

Jan 24, 2009 Pours a clear copper/amber with a thin white head and very nice lacing... Aroma of citrus, pine, alcohol, sweet tropical fruits, very aromatic.... Taste of immediate citrus/tropical fruit(mango? papaya?) hops, some sweet malts, but not overwhelming, just enough... This beer defines balanced in the realm of DIPA’s, where the malts cut the hops just enough... The body/finish almost has a refreshing quality, the beer almost asks you to take another sip immediately, AWESOME... This should be ranked higher...

Jan 24, 2009 More refreshing than would be expected from a beer with this much alcohol. Balanced, drinkable...pleasant but not overwhelming hop aroma, medium body, somewhat bitter with a really nice hop flavor. This is delicious, well done, and not at all over the top. (I like over the top, but quaffable is good, too.)
