Pours a nice cloudy orange color with an off white head. Aroma is some citrus hops and some balancing sweet malts. Flavor is also lots of citrus hops, but it seems that some have disipated into the malt. I wish i would have tried this sooner, but still decent.

Cloudy amber/light brown body with a fine light-brown lasting head. The nose is really hoppy and a bit sulphurous. The taste is full of hops and yeasts - not much complexity. The finish is dry and bitter and in the very end there is a deep bitterness deep down the throat - Linda Lovelace go home!!! The palate is relative light and makes it more drinkable compared to many of its IPA-brothers that makes you look like a chickens ass because of the dry bitterness from the extreme hops

Bottle shared by eclectic at BCTC. Thanks Kevin! Pours a deep orange with a thin white head. Nose and flavor of citrus, pine, and caramel malt. Pretty straightforward double ipa, not to take anything away from it.

750ml bottle purchased at the brewery. Bottle #299 out of 798. Aroma was of malty caramel, citrusy hops (especially orange), mango, and grass. Poured a clear dark orange color. The head was off white with an orange tint. Some lace was left behind on the glass at the end. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with soft carbonation. There was only mild hop bitterness that peaked at about 3-4 out of 10. Soft malty caramel dominated the flavor and was accompanied by cherry pastry and subdued vanilla. Light citrusy hops took a backseat to the malt. Pretty good straight up malt dominated IIPA.
