Ale_Drinker (1066), Sunnyvale, California, USA Oct 15, 2007 Just like the name says, its the skyhop but a stronger version. Pretty tasty but there are much better doubles out there. Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Sep 24, 2006 Draft at the brewpub during Telluride Blue and Brews Weekend 2006: This pours a deepy rusty red with an imperial guard of a head. Pow! You get punched in the palate with an oily hop blast. Resin, pine, citrus ... all at once. Big flavor squeezed into a medium body. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Mar 15, 2006 Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 01/10/2005
Amber coloured and very strong in alcohol with a fruity aroma and flavour. Crisp malt finish.
