Apr 26, 2006 Poured a fluffy beige head with lots of lacing on the glass. Copper/cherry color. Lots of hops in the nose and a nice combo of hops a malts in the flavor. Not as hop-centric as other SoCal double IPAs, but a pleasant middle ground found between hops and malt. Frighteningly smooth and drinkable for such a potent beer.

Apr 17, 2006 22 oz., from Darkelf – Thanks Stephen! Head is big and thick leaving a beautiful lacing. You’re getting the hops in the nose as well of course but there’s much more to it: spices like cinnamon and vanilla plus some sweetish dark fruits are what I can detect. Overall aroma is sweeter and more complex than expected. Flavor is fruity amd malty with a bitter finish. Medium to full bodied with a nice creamy texture. A nice surprise with an original character. Not your typical DIPA, that’s for sure.

Apr 13, 2006 22 oz bomber. Pours a cloudy orange amber color with a thick white creamy head. Aroma is slightly piney,not as piney as a lot of west coast IPA’s, with plenty of hops present. Taste is citrusy with a slight pine aftertaste. A slight spicy burning feeling as it goes down. Hard to tell that this is a double IPA. Nevertheless, very good overall.

Very nice, bronze/amber color. Nice lacing, strong initial hop taste. Goes down very nice, with a lingering hop/alcohol taste. Very good IIPA

Mar 20, 2006 Updated: May 9, 2008Pours a viscous, honey nectar with dense froth that is about medium height. Superb head retention w/ thick fluffy lacing that lasts. Strong aromas of spicy citrus rind that clear my sinuses. A thick and slightly creamy style IIPA with bright, pungent citrus rind consistant to the last sip. This is where Robo Hop lives w/ a strict upper hand. Overall: a ballanced brew with alcohol well hidden. Enjoyable. Nice job.
