Mar 16, 2009 Bottle (1.23.09), nice sweet caramel aroma with pine and citrus hop notes. Very smooth and with piney hop taste that has a strong caramel malt compliment. I was expecting and hoping for the hops to be all up in your grill. They are subtle maybe because I had a beer before. Nevertheless you can taste the quality.

Mar 15, 2009 (03.15.09) 500 mL bottle. Thanks CaryTheDude! Golden-orange pour with slight haze & a large, fluffy white head. Some lacing. The nose is sweet hops - grapefruit + floral deliciousness - with some malt backbone. Hop aroma is somewhat resinous as well. It’s a little lighter than it might be in the mouth, but still very tasty, hops & malt are both present though it leans hopward. A+ beer. RR have accomplished something here that belongs in the rare air with Hopslam & Dreadnaught.

Mar 14, 2009 Bottle thanks to the mashmaster! Aroma has notes of grapefruit, citrus and tropical fruits and sweet caramel malts. Hazy medium orange hue with a large off-white head that left great lace. Flavor is sweet and crisp with a nice bitter finish. Palate is medium bodied and oily soft. Very good and fruity aroma. So incredible well done. I wanted to hate this beer for it’s stupid ass label but my god is this beer beautiful. I don’t think a IIPA can actually get any better than this.

Mar 11, 2009 2009 Bottle - 1 month old - Pours a lt orange with a lasing off white head...aroma is amazing, pineapple, pine, grapefruit and caramel, melon...flavour is big and bold, mineraly, dry hop bitterness on the front end that meets a clean maltiness in the middle, and finishes beautifully...hoppy with enought malt to be balanced, but far from cloying...the driest DIPA I’ve had, and a welcome change form the malt-bomb hop-bomb formula...sweetness...

Mar 8, 2009 Bottle (50 cl), thanks larsniclas. Cloudy golden, medium white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of elderberries, sauvignion blanc wine, and black currants, on top of a slightly earthy malt base. Medium bodied and very smooth. Nice long bitter finish. Wonderful beer.
