Aug 16, 2009 Source: Bottle from jdskinns.
Glass: Bourdeaux wine glass
Aroma: Lots of fruit and citrus, with some caramel.
Appearance: Light orange in color, with small white head.
Flavor: For a beer with a reported 100 IBUs, it really doesn’t show. It’s a very smooth taste with some fruit (apricot), and some caramel malt. Very pleasant and drinkable.
Palate: Light carbonation with a short finish.
Overall: A really solid IPA, though I prefer more kick to the bitterness.

Aug 15, 2009 On tap at the GTMW. Definitely the best offering I’ve had from FFF to date. Amber with an off-white head that leaves some lacing along my glass. Aroma is a citrus bomb with nice amounts of caramel malt and some fruity notes to boot. Taste is fairly balanced though nice and big like a DIPA should be. Plenty of citrus, orange and other assorted candy hops to go with a big amount of caramel malt.

Aug 15, 2009 Golden, slightly orange. Aroma is malty, candy, a bit of pine with citrus hops. Taste is extremely well balanced between malty and hoppy, almost too well balanced. A good beer.

Aug 14, 2009 Yummmmmmmmmmm! I got this while visiting my brother in Indianapolis. It’s not my favorite DIPA out there, but it’s still quite good.

Aug 14, 2009 Just like every other high gravity IPA with respect to appearance and aroma. However,
balance = bitterness/sweetness < 1 so I’ll stick with Hopslam.

Aug 9, 2009 Pours light hazy amber with a decent off white head. Aroma is big citrusy hops, with hints of tropical fruits and some nice floral notes. Flavor is big hoppy citrus and tropical fruit, with a nice big bitter finish. Awesome flavor.

Aug 9, 2009 (22oz bomber) Pours a clear amber with no head and coats the glass VERY well. Nose of pineapple, cane sugar, sweet mango. Taste is perfectly sweet and hoppy, pineapple, oily slick, no bitterness at all but so hoppy. Low carbonation. In my opinion this is a world-class DIPA and how they should taste.
