Fantastics DIPA, and an excellent example of what DIPAs should be. This one looks perfect, pours a nice orange color with a frothy white head that quickly gives way to lots of lacing. Aroma is all hops, grapefruit, copper, flowers, you name it, it is in there. Flavor, likewise, is a wallop of hop goodness. Bitter and bold, with a creamy texture on the palate. The best thing is that the bitterness never overpowers the flavor. This one was excellent, no doubt in the group right underneath Dreadnaught!

Oct 10, 2008 Very drinkable. Not "bracingly bitter" as the name states but it certainly is more bitter than some may like. Very little head, it’s got a great citrus, floral smell. Really well-balanced IPA, one of the better one’s I’ve ever had.

Oct 10, 2008 Bottle as shown. Pours a clear orange golden color with a small frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong citrus and floral hops. The taste is very hoppy with pine and a bitter finish. Hides the alcohol, a very good double IPA from Stone.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours pale golden with a very large dense foam head. Exhibits great bubbling and carbonation characteristics. Good intricate ring lacing. Aroma of resinous hops and citrus with a malty character. Taste is mellow, medium dry, piny, resinous hoppy, with a clean incredible bitterness on the finish. Despite the flavor the beer remains remarkabley drinkable and enjoyable. Why aren’t you enjoying one of these right now?

Oct 7, 2008 Pours a hazy orange gold color with a good size white head. Aroma is strong notes of flowery hops with some citrus in there. Taste is similar to the aroma, but toned down just a tad. Hops stick around in your mouth and leave a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. Real good beer.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours a clear yellow orange, with a creamy head that lasts. Sweet citrus sour smell goes along with the hoppiness. Very enjoyable IPA, it even had my non hop head first wanting more.
