Dec 31, 2009 Nice pour, Slight red with a head that had good lacing. plenty of hops, but very nice drinker, nothing overpowering, balanced, very easy drinker, Sierra is harsher, love this brew. Had to open with a Can-opener though, can was messed up, thank god I wasn’t in the woods, or it would be a shot-gunner.lol

Dec 30, 2009 On tap at Capones. Amber color with aroma of pine, hops, and citrus. Flavor of pine, citrus with a hop bitterness at the ending. Well balanced and a solid offering.

Dec 19, 2009 Can from Whole Foods (Bowery/E Houston). Dark amber body with thick white head. Nice hoppy nose. Rich taste of hops and pine. Really smooth and well done. A delight and another fantastic beer in a can by the guys and girls from Oskar Blues.

Dec 12, 2009 Pours a reddish copper body with some brown hints-pretty opaque. Nice 1 finger foamy white head.
Smells sort of like an IPA with some citrus hops, but also fairly malty for this style.
Tastes like it smells with a nice balance of hops and malts with some caramel hints. More complex flavors than your average DIPA.
Feels nice going down-relatively smooth but thick enough to coat as it goes down. Little carbonation.
Overall an interesting DIPA-not particularly what I was expecting. I agree with what others say regarding it being a bit amber ale-like in quality. Quite nice.

Dec 11, 2009 The spicy aroma of this IPA was very present as my glass was seemingly covered with this big, yet clean, flavored ale. As I have been favoring double ipa-s recently, this dark amber ale was very refreshing and a welcome change in my otherwise uneventful day. The elements of caramel style malts and the sparkling hops made this very easy to drink.

Dec 10, 2009 A: Pours a beautiful copper hue with a nice sticky head.
S: Wow nice hop profile. Lots of bitter citrus and sweet pine. Hints of caramel malt poke thru as well.
T: Taste is married to the nose. Overloaded on hops without being too bitter. Bold citrus up front, but sweet pine tones things down a bit. Add in some nice toasted and citrus malt and you have a very drinkable IPA.
M: Medium to full bodied, rather full for the style. Good carbonation.

Dec 8, 2009 12 ounce can pours a beautiful amberish red. Smells like hops and happy. Tastes like hops and even more happy. This beer is awesome. Very well balanced and the 8.7 is completely hidden. I like this one a lot.
