This IIPA pours a cloudy orange with a white head. Unfortunately, it is absolutely dominated by malt, both in scent and flavor. It was a bit cloying in this respect and somewhat sticky. I was very disappointed by this one.

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 hoosiers1994 (552) - Maryland, USA - NOV 6, 2011
Bottle poured into a pint glass is light amber with a thin off white head. Aromas of pine and grapefruit and a bit musty. Taste is resinous pine with a heavy handed malty mix to make this drinkable. Very hoppy and bitter with pine and citrus all over the place. Sweet with the heavy malt backbone. Palate is full body leaves nice lacing. Well done powerful DIPA.

3.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 drinkrealbeer (47) - Virginia, USA - OCT 10, 2011
Lots of nice hop aroma on the noise. I immediately notice how I dont taste the normal aggressiveness in this double ipa. The hops or abv does not have a huge bite which makes this nice and session-able for this style of beer.
The mouthfeel is also quite nice as its not a thick as most other DIPAs. Nice but not thin.
Overall, I like this. Its a nice change of pace for this style. Love the bottle artwork as well.
Serving type: bottle
