Oct 24, 2008 Hazy golden, some lingering white head.
Citric nose. Strong grapefruit, somewhat sweet aroma.
Strongly bitter, slightly boozy, and citric. A little sweet.

Oct 23, 2008 [Bottle] Surprise in a trade, thanks Matt! Pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a large beige head. Aroma is loaded with grapefruit, some orange zest, sweet caramelly malt, and a touch of pine. Mouthfeel is nice and not too syrupy and sweet. Hops are very citrusy and the grapefruit stands out the most. Alcohol is only slightly evident. The malt is there, but can’t handle the huge hop load. Significantly bitter, but not overly so. Overall a great, drinkable IIPA

Oct 18, 2008 Pours cloudy orange with massive head that never dies. Aroma is hops, cirtrus and hints of pine. Flavor is the same plus some maltiness. Mouthfeel is smooth and lush. Outstanding.

Oct 16, 2008 ok let me say that I have been off of IPA for a little while. That was until I tasted this beer. Man I fell in love all over again. The guys at Alesmith seem to know how to do things right. This beer is one of my all time favorites. great hazy color with huge rocky head and taste of grapefruit and grass. This beer is awsome

Oct 13, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a golden orange. Orange and floral on the nose. Loads of hops attack the tongue. Lots of sweetness from the malts come in next. Mouthfeel is pretty alcoholic but not too sticky like most DIPAS. Delicious treat!

Oct 12, 2008 I finaly was able to get my hands on this greatly esteamed brew, worthy of the ratings it has received. A new guy showed up at our homebrew meeting with one of these bad boys and I just about fell out of my bench! Halaluah! Him and I are gonna be good friends. This beer has a holy hop character. A real pungent citrus aroma and flavor. Outstanding.
