djtimeless (48), Florida, USA Aug 22, 2007 Great beer. Pours out dark red IPA style.
Very hoppy with crisp bite. Sweet malty finish. No super green after taste. The best imperial IPA. orderofjames (6), Dana Point, California, USA does not count May 3, 2008 I’m in Hop Heaven. There is nothing bad I can say about this beer. Hopheads rejoice!!!! DocLock (4170), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 31, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Turbid orangy copper pour with 1-finger off-white head and excellent lacing even through the repour. The aroma is huge; a mix of heavy hops, pineapple, mango, tangerine, honeydew, and caramel malt. This is perhaps the greatest beer aroma I’ve ever experienced, perhaps even rivaling Dreadnaught. The flavor is big hops and fruit, with a huge malt bill, and notes of tangerine, pineapple, mango, black pepper, and melon, in roughly that order of intensity. The palate is dense, complex, very well balanced. A smidgen more malt here would have made this a Perfecto Robusto. As it stands, it’s one of the best IIPAs, and best beers, I’ve ever quaffed. redave (107), squaw valley, California, USA Jul 10, 2007 I’ve had this a couple of times, and it is truly a marvel.
Had this at the cask festival at port brewing, but i had a sip of if from the tap in the pizza parlor. I used up a portion of my festival tickets because it was just that good!
Nice golden amber.
Perfect head.
Great lacing all the way down.
Very good hoppy aroma.
But the taste... pretty close to the very top of the DIPA heap!
Big flavors, and yes, you might not be worthy... Several people at the festival didn’t think quite as highly as it did, but it was their loss.
I’ve read that this is now going to be available in bottle! Hallelujah! If i can’t have a Pliny the elder or a Pliny the younger in bottle form,
Bring on the hop 15! Hopgeek (100), San Diego, California, USA Oct 7, 2004 Golden to red color, offwhite head about an inch thick. The aromatics are huge, sweet and loaded with hops, a tinge of alcohol in the nose too. Taste is bittering at first and then becomes sweetness and is laced with a hop explosion. Palate is creamy, syrupy and smooth, full bodied. This is another really great Double IPA from the guys a Pizza Port.
