4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Well i guess im strange, i was so sure this one was top 50! Very nice murky orange beer with a dirty tan head. A very Belgian tasting IPA with loads of fruity flavors and beet sugar. The best hop taste ever with high bitterness and no resiny aftertaste. The palate is so smooth its almost slimy. Starts sweet and end dry, hidden burn that makes your head spin. Inmense malty body that balances it all out in the end. My new favorite IPA thanks to Drewbeerme for this gem.

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2007 So the English learned to grow good hops, huh? Huge hop flavor. Extremely sticky and resiny hop flavor with pine, bubble gum and gummy bears. Citrus flavor is there too, but takes a backseat to the sticky-sweetness. Huge malt up front. Biscuity flavor. Light but intense. Massive sweetness is balanced well by enormous bitterness in the back. It all comes together so well though. The beer is huge in every way, but carefully crafted to maintain balance. Everything fits together perfectly. Even the big alcohol burn is kept at bay by the rest of the flavors. This is the definition of a big beer, and done very well.

Perfect ruby-brown body with a medium volume ivory head that settles down to a nice frothy top. Great aroma of pineapple, banana, some light hops and malts compliment. Taste is very different, hoppy yet balanced with a good amount of British malts and fruit. Great smooth palate with a thick body, with a nice spiciness. A very interesting experiment that I look forward to trying after a year or two of ageing.

Draft at Which Brew. Very nice sweet aroma, nothing strong just pleasant. Generous head that disappears after awhile leaving a good thin head. Very strong flavor with small alcohol flavor near the end. Perfectly well balanced and very drinkable. Nice hop precense and nothing too strong. Very good brew. Weyerbacjer seems to get better with every new brew recently. Cheers guys, 11 times!

Beautiful clean amber color; creamy head. Nice aroma, cheesy, malty and hoppy, with some pine resin; also some alcohol. Powerful body strength, immediately warming (but without unwanted traces of alcohol), full malty, with sweet caramel flavor, toffee, extreme hopping, very resiny; the only flaw is a kind of paper aftertaste. In the final, there is also a touch of pear syrup. Excellent.

Bottle. Pours out a dark red color, with a thick head that never ends. Smell is hop, grass, grapefruit, pine. Taste is similar, balanced, malty, hoppy, grass, very fresh hops. This absolutely blows double simcoe out of the water. Double simcoe needs to get down on its knees and blow this beer. Very refreshing, very tasty, the ratings have clearly been reversed for this and 2x simcoe. Great beer from weyerbacher.

Cotton candy in a glass! So smooth and silky. The English hop varietal pounds in the flavor. Sweet with a subtle hoppy finish. This is a one of a kind triple IPA. Enjoy it slowly. Not such a good idea for this beer to be put on the market in July!?!! Store...then pour.

Incredibly towering head ... Very floral aroma, like clean sheets. Very oily ... damn near like eating the hops from the vine with that warming burn. Very nice hop burn. Not as big as I’d expected, but quite delicious.
