May 14, 2007 Thanks Brewblackhole for this great one! Golden color. Smell of hops, apricots, candy raisins, caramel, malt, pine, cotton candy and pine. Tastes just like it smells but better. What a great dry, bitterness at the end. I can definitely taste the alcohol in this one. Great hop and grapefruit taste. What a great DIPA!

May 13, 2007 Bottle. 12 FL. OZ. Very clear orange color with very little head that disappears completely. Hoppy, peach aroma with light citrus. Dry with little carbonation. Flavor is much sweeter than I expected yet still with a long bitter finish.

May 11, 2007 Pours a nice gold to copper orange. Smells of citrus, mainly lemon, some grassiness, and also a little dose of sweet malt and piney-ness. Taste follows with a bitter finish that is laced with alcohol taste. The bitter/alcohol finish is at first a little too harsh for my own tastes, even though I usually enjoy the style, but it improves as it approaches room temp and the maltiness is more evident.

May 8, 2007 pours dark and with a near brown foam in a sniffer. citrus hops meet with a thick malt taste. not as bitter as other double ipa’s from avery or great divide but still worth a taste/

May 8, 2007 Draft @ Frisco Grille in Columbia, MD. Pours deep amber into the snifter. Looks good, smells good. Typical hop aroma of grapefruit citrus, pine. Decent. Tasted like a big DIPA, lots of bitterness. This was one of the more bitter DIPA’s I have had yet. Strong @ 10+%

Apr 29, 2007 From a bottle pours rich amber color, with a good amount of head that leaves a little lacing. Nice smooth flavor, followed by a good finish.

Apr 26, 2007 I was truly impressed with this beer. It pours a slightly hazy amber, with a small white head that sticks around, leaving lacing on the glass with every sip. The aroma is obviously of bitter hops. The flavor is a nice bite of hops, followed by a long malt finish. I would not have been able to guess the ABV of this beer by the taste. Overall, a highly recommended IIPA.
