This is another great, absoultly amazing IPA. It’s bitter, but the malt balances it out. The aroma is just amazing. Citrusy, piney, and even a hint of grapefruit. It’s an amber color in appearance. And the taste just blew me away. Wow, this is a great double IPA that I have gotten and will continue to get. I might even get the case of it that we sell in Fairless Hills Pa at Deon Square Beer Distributors.

Fantastic beer! It’s all about the hops. Good initial taste, with a strong hop follow-up. If you are a true hophead, you need to try this beer! The simcoe hop is the key here. To me, this is a special, special hop, and it is really showcased here.

This beer was a surprise. I’m always looking for that Big Hop beer that will knock my socks off, and this is the real deal. Aroma was pure hops, like freshly cut from the field. Smooth going down the the bitter hop ending that opens the senses.

355ml bottle. Great looking beer with lots of dense beige foam and a deep amber almost orange colour. Plenty of hops fill the nose wih big punchy floral aromas. It’s like smelling a freshly bloomed rose garden. He first sip fills the mouth and the flavour penetrates to all parts and stays there. This is one seriously good beer.

oh my god! gross! this beer is disgusting. seriously. it takes a few bottles, but you’ll get it. hop lovers, come join with me!

Best IPA I ever tasted; just outstanding, earned a permanent place in the beer vault, along with Warsteiner and Spaten dunkels and SADB. Really complex but with a crystal-clear hop note from that one hop variety Weyerbacher chose, not muddled or muted as most IPAs are. Too strong to accompany bland foods, ideal for assertive flavors, much as one would leave cabernet, pinot noir or varietal zinfandel for a really good steak or other strongly-flavored dishes. On a par with Sam Adams Double Bock (SADB) for incredibly good quality. The only one even close is the new Victory Yakima Glory.

Bottle. Thanks to jasonmech77. Poured a golden color. Had a hint of smoke to it. Very hoppy beer loved it.

HOLY SHIT! Interesting flawless nose of berries & citrus, some evergreen; very alluring. Pours a sparkling copper. The great cascade resolves into a super stiff off-white head that is mostly lasting and leaves behind wicked lace. The brew has exceptional depth and balance. Malty, citric, bitter & sweet. Tastes kinda like a rye, nice; very nice. The full body is creamy and soft. The finish has a lightly astringent feel. This was the only bright spot in a botched cookout that included a downpour, and me sending a friend home hungry.

Pours an appetizing dark coppery amber with a thick, off-white, fine-bubbled head that sticks around for a bit. Aroma is rich and hoppy to the point of being piny with a strong citrus overtone. Flavor is strongly hoppy, a little bitter with just a touch of citrus, more orange than lemon. Texture is smooth as milk but pleasingly fizzy and tingly. One of the best IPAs I have ever had! I strongly recommend this to all IPA fans.

Had this very fine brew at Stoudt’s June 06 Fest yesterday (10 June) and thought it definitely was "Best of Show". Marvelous brew had even the foam aromatic and mighty tasty!
