May 23, 2009 Bottle. An amber coloured pour with an average head. Hop, citrus, floral aroma. Wonderful hop blast with just the right balance. God I love this beer, I was drinking this by the pool in Palm Springs last year and I was punching the air with delight, my wife thought I was bloody crazy! If only English beers tasted like this. One of my all time favourites, simply love it!

May 20, 2009 A solid favorite of mine. I especially like to have one right before my wife does experimental cooking, that way I can honestly say I’ve never tasted anything better.

May 18, 2009 Really nice color and head/lacing for an IPA. Smells like the hop-bomb promised on the bottle description (Stone’s bottle monologues are worth the price of admission by themselves). True to the story - the hops completely dominate. Floral and just piney enough. Nice astringent fruit in there somewhere - finish is the bitterest part, bitterness just lingers and lingers on the roof of your mouth. Alcohol is there in the middle as it warms. Ruined my palate for the rest of the evening, guess I’ll have another.

May 18, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a crystal clear golden with aggressive bubbles and a nice thick white head. Aroma is ridiculously pungent hops, mostly citrus but some pine is there too. Flavor is again a showcase of hops as malt flavor is barely apparent. Spicy, citrusy, bitter, and very, very dry. Medium bodied with alot of carbonation. The hops stick with you for hours after you’ve finished. When all I want is hops, this is what I drink.

May 17, 2009 Great aroma, it’s immediately in your face with citrus hop aroma and you want to drink it. When you do you are so glad that you did that you drink more and notice the great lacing, and then more and the taste blows you away. Pretty soon it is gone and you are sad, but then you are once again happy because you realize you just had one of the best beers you have ever had, and it doesn’t hurt that you have 5 more in the fridge!

May 17, 2009 Thanks Daknole. Golden pour with a white head. Hop aroma hits you during the opening and while pouring the beer. Malt aroma is also noticeable behind the hops. Creamy tasting beer with lots of hops, not overbearing but well balanced with the malt. Hops have a little spicyness to it in the aftertaste. Nice lacing on the glass. Love the gargoyle on the bottle. Nice graphics.

May 16, 2009 Tap at Flying Saucer Addison Texas. Nice clear amber color with a small white head. Nose is light hops, citrusy, and sweet. Taste at first is perfumy and very bitter-hops come through later. Very dry. Body is fluffy and smooth. Not a "typical" IIPA but fills the bill for a nice drinking moderate alcohol beer.
