tagz (310), USA Mar 15, 2007 Updated: Jun 16, 2007 Orange, amber with medium cloud. Minimal head. Great hoppy aroma and taste. Nice bitter, does not overwhelm the taste. Great balance.
Re-rate: Came back to this one after having rated a handfull of IPAs and I’m going to bump it down a bit. Hop devil has strong skunky floral hops that I think are great, but there is very little bitter to balance it out. What you get is a intense grassy aroma and flavor and a fizzy carbonated ending. Its got a great, distinct flavor but could use a cleaner ending. A great beer none the less.
CoachJT (21), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle pour. Deep golden, almost red color, nonexistent head. Wonderfully hoppy aroma, taste to match. Great hoppy brew. rustychiles (480), Mesa, Arizona, USA Oct 11, 2008 Pours a deep golden red color with a nice off white head. Aroma of hops malt. Flavor is hops, caramel, malt with a little bittering in the finish. Good IPA. Jsawyer (22), , Pennsylvania, USA Oct 10, 2008 bottled. Pours a wonderful deep amber. Pours a nice crust head at first, clear evidence of a nice alcohol presence, evaporates rather quickly. Nice lacing however. Light floral hop aroma slightly grapefruit citrus. Taste sweet citrus and floral taste with a good amount of honey bitterness. Well balanced sweet and bitter. Nice lasting finish. Solid IPA. CptGreencoat (16), Kettering, Ohio, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Poured to a very cloudy deep gold color. Nearly no head whatsoever. Light floral hoppy aroma. Very fruity and crisp with just enough hops for me to consider this an IPA. The flavors/feels are beautifully balanced and nothing overpowers the other. It finishes bitter and fast, as a good IPA should. An excellent choice for hop lovers. Lt_Dan (66), Greater Los Angeles Area, California, USA Oct 5, 2008 Poured a dark orange, started with a 1/2 inch head that subsided quickly. There wasn’t much of an aroma, but what I did smell was grass. Tastes of malt and citrus like hops. Perfect level of bitterness. You know its there, but it doesn’t take control of all of your tastebuds. Very balanced, very crisp and refreshing. One of the best IPA’s the east coast offers.
