xmarcnolanx (789), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Sep 23, 2007 Yummy beer! Aroma is redolent of some spice that I cannot place my finger on, simcoe, and caramelized malts. Taste is initially very sweet and simcoe citrus hoppiness. Finish is bitter and lasting. Decent DIPA, but with this size body I think I could lay one of these dudes down for a few years and have a fine barleywine. verymerrymonk (255), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Sep 22, 2007 Pours a beautiful copper with a big, off white head. Intense aroma of earthy hops and citrus. Creamy mouth feel. Flavor of grapefruit and very bitter, dry hops. Well made - very enjoyable and unique. Foxbush (452), Richmond, Virginia, USA Sep 19, 2007 Updated: Oct 25, 2007This was an outstanding IPA. It was recommended by the waitress at Capital House. The IPA was special! The head was smooth about one finger in thicknes. The flavor of citrus was dominate. The 9% ABV was hidden by the hops and maltiness. I will be enjoyiong this IPA in the future. The amber color and head were very inviting from the beginning. I enjoyed another in October 2007. Just as good as the first. kiscokid (10), Mount Kisco, New York, USA Sep 18, 2007 5gal keg from Halftime. Cloudy, reddish brown color. Off white head, neither thick and creamy nor thin or evanascent. Aroma is pure hops, hops and more hops, almost floral. You do not need to stick your nose very far into the glass to catch it. Mouthfeel is lighter than expected. Flavor is hoppy, a little winey like a baby barleywine. Very tasty indeed but what a monster. BrewEd (182), Wilmington, North Carolina, USA Sep 15, 2007 Huge piney-hop nose - smells like I fell into a Christmas Tree. Explosive pine and citrus flavor balanced well with a sweet malt finish that has enough hop bite to hide (somewhat) the high ABV. bp (451), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 13, 2007 Bottle: pours a nice copper color with a thick frothy head, hoppy aromoa with some citrus (my wife says peaches) - this thing really has a nice aroma to it -, taste is very hoppy with a dry warming finish. Very nice double ipa but I still prefer my Dogfish Head 90 minute over this. kyzr (1119), Belgrade, Montana, USA Sep 12, 2007 Thanks to franksnbeans for this bottle. Copper color with big thick head. Huge nose of pine, spice and just a hint of sweet oranges. Flavor is big, big and big on hops. Then it flows into a sweet and creamy malt texture. Finish is hoppy and warm from the alcohol.
