Jul 19, 2009 My god, about the lighest, most hoppy beer there is. So light it almost tastes juicy, and the juice is alllll grapefruit. Wow, this is one hell of a beer for citrus lovers. Probably the best one I’ve had, save for Yulesmith. So crisp it tastes like drinking carbonated grapefruit juice with a shot of thin lively something or other in it. Mmmm, so good.

Jul 17, 2009 I really really wanted to try this and it was almost as good as I thought it would be. Pours a golden color with a long lasting tall white head. Nice aroma which smells like piney hops more than citrus... maybe I’m wrong on that. Thin mouthfeel which I wasn’t a huge fan of, but the overall flavor is great. Nice mild bitterness, that isn’t too biting but you definitely know there was a heavy dosage of hops. Great stuff, but there’s a bunch of other DIPA’s i would rather drink

Jul 16, 2009 Hazy copper pour with a fluffy off-white head. Excellent retention, sticky lace. The beer looks delicious. Aroma consists of pineapple, grapefruit, orange, a touch of pine. Flavor starts off caramel sweet and carbonation followed eventually by citrus bitterness and a dry finish. Hides the 8% very nicely! Smooth medium body, moderate low carbonation. This is what a west coast IIPA should taste like. Great beer!

Jul 15, 2009 Bottle with a bottled on date of 6-10-09. Slightly murky pale orange with a medium white head. Unusual perfume aroma with hints of lemon, grass, wheat, and cat piss(???). Very bitter flavor, this thing will pucker you up, there is a sweetness lingering in there but dominantly bitter. Medium body with slick almost oily mouth feel, a bit lighter than most IIPA’s. This is a full blown hop monster of an IIPA but goes down smooth.

does not count  Jul 14, 2009 Simply the best beer I have ever tasted. Keeping in mind that DIPA’s are my bag.

Jul 13, 2009 Hazy amber with solid head and lacing. Extremely herby aroma, almost like marijuana. Very resiny, herby, slightly grassy hop taste, barely a trace of citrus. Just a hint of malt base, long herby finish, very subdued bitterness.

Jul 13, 2009 Poured a yellow, almost pilsener color with a nice lasting white head. Aromas of thick grapefruit, citrus, and floral aftertones. One of the most balanced DIPAs ever, with huge hop character backed my copious caramel malt with a satisfying and lasting bitter taste that is thick and chewy. Best beer of it’s kind by far!
