Jun 22, 2009 On tap at Fathers Office in LA. First impression: serious nose of strong piney hops. Amber color, light head. Great lacing on my glass. A piney hop blast on my palale with a fair ammount of malt to counteract. Nicely balanced until the finish. Long bitter tail end, not overwhelming. Great citrus/ pine hopped balance. Great IPA!

Jun 22, 2009 Bottle shared with Ketih. Enjoyed this one at room temperature. It was very good nonetheless. Not an overpowering aroma like some hop-bombs, but refined and balanced. Good pine and citrus aroma. Such balanced flavors in this one. The grapefruit really stands out, but it’s one of the more balanced and drinkable IPAs I’ve had. I’ve had the Younger one time, and this is probably better in pure drinkability. Awesome job.

Jun 22, 2009 Pours deep gold. aroma of grapefruit and orange and this thing just really HITS the nose. Tastes of plants, herbs, grapefruit, orange, and with more caramel and white bread flavor than Blind Pig. Finishes with toast, butter, earth, and light grapefruit. Bitter, but more flavorful. So perfectly made you may very well cry.

Jun 22, 2009 Thanks Zythum. Bottled 5/13/09. Light amber pour with nice white head. Nice citrus hop aroma. As I was pouring, the deliscious smell came out at me. The taste is hoppy, very hoppy. Nice malt backbone to go along with the extreme hop experience. The hops give off a little spiciness. Nice lacing on the glass.

Jun 20, 2009 Bottled on 5/26/09. Pours a orangish gold, slightly hazy, with a bit white head that quickly dissipates until a 1mm head stays stuck to the surface. Awesome aroma of orange juice, pineapple, and hops. Flavors of orange juice and pineapple are prominent. The hops are wonderful, and there’s a surprising amount of malt flavor as well. Punches you in the throat with bitterness but quickly fades; a very pleasant rush. Nice and crisp with a bit of wonderful bubbly goodness. I’m surprised how easy this is to drink. I will have to make this a regular pickup when I’m in California.

Jun 18, 2009 Wow, I’ve wanted this one for a while and have had it twice in one week! (Thanks to Skinnyguy for sharing, and StFun for sending me a bottle out of nowhere!) Hazy apricot pour, medium carbonation and smells of resinous pine and grapefruit. Flavor is tons of hops (of course), orange, sour grapefruit and then finishes very dry with plenty of herbson the aftertaste. Solid DIPA.
