mcart034 (35), Manassas, Virginia, USA Mar 30, 2008 Pours cloudy orange. Tons of hop aroma. Huge hop flavor is balanced by the malt. Highly drinkable double IPA and one of my favorites. hoppopotamus (182), Santa Cruz, California, USA Mar 29, 2008 Updated: Mar 29, 2009Looks great, a hazy deep orangey red with a decent off-white head. The aroma is pure hoppery, citrusy and piney with a little hint of sweetness at the end. The taste is also hop-dominated, but sits on top of a nice malty sweetness. Doesn’t finish quite as dry or bitter as most DIPAs, which lost it points by my measure. If you like hops, you will like this beer. hophead420 (4), columbus, Ohio, USA does not count Mar 26, 2008 picked this masterpiece up from the grapes of merth in the short north market in columbus, oh. pours a deep orange hew. perfect caribanation for a IIPA. taste of citrusy grapefruit delicious! a must try for all hopheads Oakes (8058), gone rambling, Vietnam Mar 25, 2008 Hazy orangey-golden. Drool...deep rich orangey, yuzu-y simcoe nose. I like that. Rich, resiny, orangey...just some good clean IPA fun. Solid pale malt underpinning is perfect. Slightly sticky finish. iride15 (169), Orlando, Florida, USA Mar 25, 2008 A great double ipa. Heavy malt with citrus and hoppy flavor. Definitely a beer worth ordering as much as possible. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA Mar 22, 2008 Bottle courtesy of jsquire at Fort Wayne Winter Gathering. Small head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, hazy, no carbonation observed, and an orangish hue. Nose was hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, and caramel. Ditto for the flavor. Smooth mouthfeel and light-medium in body.Quaffable for the style and not over-the-top hops IMO.Would drink again and worthy of a try. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Mar 22, 2008 Pours copper with a minimal white head. Aroma of flora, citrus, pine and sweet malt. Sweet malt and hops present right up front, with a big bitter kick. Finishes a citrusy grapefruit. Very nice IPA, Gr0ve (1382), Oslo, Norway Mar 20, 2008 650 ml bottle, RBNAG07. Amber colour. Lots of very small particles floating. Hazy. Rich apricoty aroma. Smooth texture. Sweetish rich malts. Apricoty sweet malts. Strong sharp hops aroma. Full-bodied. Lots of hops in the finish that ends up with a sharp lingering hop bitterness.
