Aug 13, 2008 12oz bottle poured a clear orange color with a small off white head and some lacing. The aroma had some spice from the hops, sweet caramel and some fusel alcohol that overpowered the hop character. The taste had an extremely smooth spicy bitterness for a double with some alcohol warming alongside a dry finish. Overall not a beer that I would go out of my way to try again.

Aug 10, 2008 Poured from bottle. Aroma of hops, malt and floral notes. Cloudy amber, thin white head. Big hops, but also a strong malt presence, with a bourbon aftertaste - no kidding. Alcohol is well hidden at first, but gives this beer a heady feel about midpoint. Mellows at finish. I’ll be looking for this one again

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle sampled at NFB&WF ’08 at Martha Clara Vineyards. Pours a clear gold. Mild aroma of pine and malt. Much more flavorful then the aroma suggests with a solid malt backbone up front followed by some resinous pine. Nice slightly sticky mouthfeel without being cloying. Bitter at the finish, but not excessive. Good stuff.

Jul 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle - purchased at hop devil grill; pours solid gold with nice hazy to it and plenty of carbonation; huge aromas of piny hops, but flavors follow a little on the weak side; texture is thin and lacking that malt body to smooth out the bitters

Jul 29, 2008 Maybe I got an old bottle or maybe a bad one b/c there’s no way a beer that scores a 96 tastes like mouthwash and alcohol but then again it does have a high ABV.

Jul 28, 2008 12oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Pours light gold with a slight haze to it, topped by a thin white head. Smells of pineapple, mango, caramel, and pine. Resinous pine and citrus flavors with a light taste of alcohol. Though it smells wonderful the flavor is merely alright.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light brown with a small white head. Aroma of nice caramel malt, bitter citrus hops. Flavor of wheat cracker, good malt-hops balance. Crisp and quite tasty. Not very hoppy considering it’s a double IPA, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Nicely balanced. Abv is very well hidden.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Aroma very fleshy citrus. Flavor the same tangy citrus, meshing nicely with mildly sweet, light but full-bodied malt. Very nice, although I feel like similar results have been achieved with less than 10.6 abv.
