Jan 6, 2009 Tap at The York. A clutch-ass beer that masks every drop of its 9% ABV. Sweet, citric hops with outlines of cane sugar, tea, and love. Very drinkable, very crisp and Coloradoan.

Jan 6, 2009 Pours a warm amber color from the can with a creamy off-white head and faint carbonation. Smells and tastes of mild hops, lemon rind, and chewy caramel. Black tea also seems present as this one warms. Nice, but fairly tame for a double IPA.

Jan 4, 2009 Can shared by footbalm, thanks again man. Pours a light copper color with a light white foamy head. The aroma is nice piny hops, some light malt behind the hops. The flavor was very nice; some strong hops, mostly piny and some light citrus, light caramel malts. Very drinkable, and no alcohol present at all.

Jan 3, 2009 Dark amber pour with a big ol’ off white head. Looks great. Well-balances, caramelly and hoppy nose. Flavor is great, albeit a bit thin. Lots of great spicey hops and caramel malt. Extremely well-balanced for a IIPA. Also, it’s cool that it’s in a can.

Dec 30, 2008 Updated: Dec 31, 2008Strong hop aroma, very "sticky" smelling as the can indicates. A little watery in the palate, but the falvor is great....the 8.7 ABV is extremely well hidden. Almost no alcohol flavor or nose. Overall, a great beer in this style.
