tarheels86 (703), Washington DC, USA Oct 19, 2008 This is completely and totally different from any Imperial IPA I have ever tried. Pours a dark yellow with little carbonation and a small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, orange, and kumquat or something. Taste is similarly fruity (especially grapefruit) but then the dry hops kicks in and gives this beer a bitter kick that is balanced out nicely in the end from the malt. Lacing is superb. Aftertaste is bitter and dry. An amazing beer! Jsawyer (282), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 17, 2008 On draft. A hazy gold body. Aroma of pine, sweet grapefruit, citric, floral hops. Flavor is very sweet pine, grapefruit, mandarin orange, with a touch of malt. Very bitter and acidic finish. T2Tool (352), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Oct 17, 2008 Had on draft. Poured a slight hazy orange color. Aroma of citrus hops, fruits and just a touch of malt. A big hop taste, with grapefruit really standing out. Nice backbone of sweet caramel malt came through also. TraumaTheDiva (5), San Francisco, California, USA does not count Oct 16, 2008 This is best CONSISTENTLY AVAILABLE Double IPA in Northern California. So hoppy that you may think your beer has been laced with fresh buds. brianprentiss (473), Portland, Oregon, USA Oct 16, 2008 Super yummy! Not much head, but what a smell! I can’t wait to taste Pliny the Younger because this one is an amazing DIPA! thegreenrooster (1811), St.louis, Missouri, USA Oct 15, 2008 Pour is a dark yellow with a large white head. Aroma is what is would be like to wake up in a grove of fresh hops. Flvor is again a very strong fresh hop with some silky malts. A complete hop juice of a beer and one to seek out. Bonus is that a bottle is fairly cheap for such a outstanding brew at only $3.99! imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA Oct 15, 2008 Pour is a light golden with small white head. Aroma strong of piney hops. Flavor is dry with pine, sweet malt, and some citrus. It lives up to its name and its a great brew. smashteroid (227), USA Oct 15, 2008 This one was a truly intriguing beer. Served cold from a bottle. Dark gold pour with a small white head that leaves good lacing. The aroma was described by someone as a "citrus bouquet", it was definitely rich in pine and citrus hops. It tasted unlike any beer I’ve had, very complex and refined. Flavor was heavily hoppy with some malts to balance it out, but the finish is nice and bitter. Very cool beer. Highly recommended.
