Mar 13, 2009 I’m very partial to IPAs and on a recent visit to Santa Rosa, I downed a couple pints. Amongst the world’s best.

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.

Mar 7, 2009 Citrus, particularly grapefruit in the aroma, subtle pine, not sticky sap. Appearance is a cloudy, semi-translucent golden, with an off-white, tightly nit one-finger head that dicipates quickly. Good malty sweetness to balance the strong hops. Overall, a very well balanced, smooth drinking IPA. The hops aren’t too overpowering.

Mar 7, 2009 Bottled. Thanks to larsniclas.
Light hazy dark amber clour with solid white head. Aroma is heavy from the hops, there is plenty of grapefruit and oranges along with bit of pine. Flavour is loaded with hoppy grape-juice and its very clean overall. There is vanilla ice-cream, pink grapes, gooseberries and oranges. The hop bitterness, that is said to be monstrously high, is sensed early and last all the way from sippin till long after. The malt sweetness is there, yet due to the well attenuation and a low starting gravity, this is a pretty dry beer and very balanced at that. Solid 2IPA!

I owe some big thanks to fellow beeradvocate kplynch for hooking me up with this beauty!
Apperance: Hazy orange with a nice white foam and lots of lacing.
Aroma: Exotic fruit, Caramel, Pine and plenty of hops. Lovely!
Flavor: Caramel, Exotic fruits, Citric notes (grapefruit overdose!), and yet again pine.
Palate: Quite oily and full of flavor. Solid maltbase with a good bitterness at the end.
Truly one of the best DIPA’s i’ve ever had the pleasure to try. A work of art!

Mar 4, 2009 500ml bottle; amazing fruity aroma; first sip zinged and tingled the palate; smooth going down and warmth lingered in the back of the throat; excellent summer beer; succeeding taste was much smoother and lingered just like the first sip. Definitely a keeper. What a great beer for my first eval. (#1)
