Nov 20, 2004 Lightly hazed garnet body topped by beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit, pine, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, grapefruit, pine, floral, mild alcohol warming. Medium-full body, light sticky. Alcohol well hidden. On the milder side of Double IPAs, quite nice. Thanks DarkElf!

Feb 10, 2005 Poured a dark ruby red color with an averaged sized, frothy off white head. Aromas of light oranges, pine and grapefruit. Tastes of pine, grapefruit with a trace of malts. Bitter bite. I expected little more of a sweet, malty balance for an IIPA. Body was a little on the thin and watery side as well. Alcohol content hidden.

Jul 28, 2005 Clear darkish amber, honest off-white head. Complex hop aromatics in the nose are backed by a more than fair toasted malt molasses-cookie like. Sweaty and earthy, vibrant and evolutive. Good balance for the style, rich malt and rich hops, no mistakes and we avoid the traps of acidity. Straightforward perhaps, but enticing, rich hop flavors array, going from one citrus to the other with tangerine surprisingly winning. Ample bodied, fair soft carbonation.

Feb 11, 2006 Bottle... Clear, orange ale with a large, frothy, off-white head. Excellent retention. The nose is pink grapefruit pulp floating in a vat of freshly squeezed island fruit and tangerine. Bitter as hell and fruity.The nice, solid, caramel malt backbone is only an afterthought as the lupulin clings to the back of my tongue and throat until my mouth is numb and my wind pipe is all but "cut-off." Ok, maybe I exagerrate, but the brew is really very bitter. Full-bodied and dry with lively carbonation. A hophead’s dream beer! Thanks go out to DarkElf for the bottle!

Feb 10, 2005 Pours a nice deep, dark copper ruby with a thick, sticky, and well-lacing off-white head. Aroma boasts fresh piney hops and a nice caramel malty backing. Starts full and malty, turning thinner and more bitter toward a dry, crisp hoppy finish. The malt seems to lose the battle and doesn’t really put up much fight, just a little sweetness up front. Carbonation seems to be more airy than most beers and makes the beer feel too thin. Nice resiny grapefruit hop presence throughout though. A decent DIPA, just wish it were a touch thicker and sweeter. Thanks DarkElf!
