Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber, smells citrus and piney. Intense hoppiness does ruin the palate just as promised once consumed. The sort of beer that must be consumed with no other beers. Not my favorite but still a solid brew.

Nov 20, 2008 Poured from a 22oz bottle. Poured an Amber almost Caramel color - nice head and long lacing. Scents of pine and grapefruit. Very hoppy and great aftertaste. Extremely drinkable!

Nov 19, 2008 intense pine aromas. Pours a clear golden blonde with a thick white head. Intense piney hop flavors, sticky, resiny flavors with hints of bitter citrus peels and some sweet malts lurking beneath the pine sap. It reminds me of Double Simcoe.

Nov 17, 2008 This is one of my favorite beers.......quite possibaly the most bitter beer I have ever had. I dont think its as good as Hopslam but its close.

Oct 31, 2008 Bottled. Pours clear copper with nice head. Aroma is citric and resinous clover honey, finished with sweet malt; much sweeter than I was expecting. Flavor is mellifluous and coniferous with a bitter malty bite at the end. Much better balance than I was expecting. Finish is resinous and dry; the bitterness lingers but isn’t overpowering. Palate is pretty smooth and not too carbonated. Good beer.

Oct 26, 2008 (Bomber at home on October 26, 2008) Superb head! I love it... it’s actually billowing a half inch above the top of my mug! Cloudy orange IPA-color. Aroma is seriously hoppy. So much so it’s almost smoky. Flavor... well, a typical double/imperial IPA. My taste buds are by no means ruined, as the brewer description suggests. In fact, I can think of many IPAs that are harsher than this that are still tolerable. Don’t always believe the commercially-written hype, I suppose is the moral of this story. But all of that behind us, this is a pretty good beer. No aftertaste (for a double IPA, at least). Light body. Easy to drink. Not too bitter that you’re forced to make a face, but at the same time strong. A well-balanced concoction, Stone.

Oct 25, 2008 Shared a 1L growler/swing top from the Stone brewpub.
Pours a nice clean/clear deep golden orange color, nice carbonation, nice one-finger white head, lots of sticky lacing afterwards. The nose is awesome, lots and lots of hops, piney, grapefruit/citrus, slight caramel. The taste is one hop bomb, piney, with a very nice touch of citrus. The finish is very dry and bitter/hoppy. Medium body. Very drinkable, first time I’ve had a Stone growler and to cap it off a TDH brew. This does a body good, lol Thanks again Steve.
