Feb 9, 2010 To say "I expected this to be better" is to ignore the fact that it is an excellent beer. But I prefer the Shark Attack quite a bit. Not enough balance for me, just a hair too little maltiness to counter the hops. In a competitive double-IPA market, there are quite a few I like just as much or more.

Feb 2, 2010 Big tropical fruit and citrus in this double IPA. High alcohol content not at all noticeable. Intense bitterness that sticks with you. Pretty dry, but not at all fizzy. Bitterness is intense almost to the point of a pickle-like sourness. I know it’s a double IPA, but I’d like a little more malt to add to the body. A definite "summer" DIPA. Also, the hop aroma seems to have faded and is mostly muted citrus.

Jan 28, 2010 Sampled on draft at Smokin’ Joe’s in Pittsburgh PA this beer poured a yellow-golden color with a medium sized white head that produced good lacing. The aroma was grapefruit and pine with a sour, tangy and almost mossy undertone. The flavor was pine and grapefruit and was somewhat sweet and tangy though a touch harsh in the finish. Fairly full bodied. Solid but a little disappointing.

Jan 17, 2010 Cloudy light orange. Big old hoppy nose, lavender floral, a bit of citrus. Pretty dry w/ a solid bitterness which lends support to the light mouthfeel. A very nice IIPA and dead on style.
