Mar 1, 2009 Updated: Jul 27, 2009rerate on 7/6/09. On cask with amarillo hops at Daily Pint, Santa Monica. Absolutely amazing grapefruit, lemon, and orange aroma. Also has a touch of sweet toffee and vanilla. This was a beautiful hazy golden pour, with typical cask frothy head. Very well balanced flavor, then a wonderful dry bitter finish. This is an amazing brew, and the cask only adds to it.

Mar 1, 2009 22oz. bottle from Willow Bend Liquors in Lutz, FL. Pours a cloudy, amber-orange with a decent off-white head. Aroma is tons of hops, alot of pine sap, and some cloves. Flavor is pretty damn bitter..alot of pine, maybe some grapefruit. Great bitter, pine aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel..And actually very smooth and easy to drink. This is a really good drinkable IIPA. Not nearly as hardcore as Arrogant Bastard in my opinion.

Mar 1, 2009 Pours deep gold with a 2 finger soapy head. Really great lacing all the way to the end. Nose is BIG hops- floral, piney hops you can smell from a foot away. Taste is HOPS! It starts bitter, goes sweet for a moment, and finishes bitter and then disappears. If you catch yourself craving hops, this is what you need. Awesome brew.

Feb 27, 2009 Poured a golden-yellow with a decently thick white head. Smelled very floral and grapefruity. Tasted just the same, with an insane bitterness to it which I didn’t enjoy, but did expect. Overall I’d like it more without such a bitter edge, but I’m not a great hop fan either so...

Feb 27, 2009 Ridiculous. Huge citrusy/piney aroma. Huge hop flavor and bitterness as expected. Too bitter for my taste but why else would you get this. Stone’s regular IPA is actually really good (I don’t like hoppy beers) but this is that times 10. Solid but not my cup o’ tea/beer.

Feb 26, 2009 Pours a hazy amber with a small head that leaves great lacing... Big citrus hop nose, smells nice... Excellent west coast double flavor... Big hops without the unnecessary sweet maltiness... Doesnt have the creaminess i’ve come to despise in double ipa’s, but then again it is 7.7% not 10%... Easy drinking... Amazing 1.5 IPA

Feb 25, 2009 Simply one of the best IPAs out there. Very bitter, but very flavorful. Very complex and has some citrus undertones.
