Jul 5, 2009 Tap at the brewpub. This was big and peppery/alcoholic in both nose and flavor, but as big as it is it’s not very clear, which is to say it smells and tastes like "huge IPA on the malty side." Well-crated but not very exciting.

May 24, 2009 On tap at the brewery. This amber ale poured with a rich beige head that faded away. There is a floral aroma. The flavor starts with sweet malt and finishes with sharp hop bitterness. This is a very nice DIPA.

Mar 29, 2009 Draft at the brewery. This was by far the best beer I had on my recent trip to the Bay area. 5 brewery’s in 3 days, not bad!
This has that wonderful citrus aroma and flavor that reminds me of hopsickle. Great texture and an all around killer DIPA.

Mar 15, 2009 Tasted at GABF 2008. Very hoppy with a great caramel backbone. Alcohol was up front, but still tasty.

Mar 14, 2009 Surprisingly good. I didn’t expect a brewpub to be making intense Double IPAs like this. Hopped to the max. Caramel-sweet in there. Does not hide the alcohol.

Feb 7, 2009 Tap at Bistro DIPA festival. Brilliant gold amber color with a huge foamy white head. Massive resin aroma. Flavor is really hoppy floral/resin/citrus with a lot of smooth malt backing. Much more floral than bitter. Superb.
