Awesome big fluffy head over a orangish amber color. Sweet hops smell. Flavor is a bit too present with the alcohol flavor but really isnt horrible. Malt is there to combine nicely with the hops. My palate may be a bit shot at this point but It just isnt the best DIPA I’ve had.

Feb 9, 2008 This was insanely heavy on the hops, which is a good thing. Im not sure if this is any different at all from the winter version but i did get alot of floral and citrus in the hops.

Feb 6, 2008 AleSmith produces nothing but the best!!! This is an incredible DIPA in the same class as Dreadnaught. Sun orange body with massive white head that hangs on for dear life to the side of your glass throughout the drink. Aroma is all citrus and heavy pine. Flavor is extremely bold IPA with more subtle hints of vanilla and caramel to provide it balance and improve drinkability. Loved it!!!

Feb 4, 2008 Thanks to Padrefan for this bottle!
Pours a bright, glowing orange with a huge lasting head like many Alesmith beers. Predominantly a fresh orange, fruity smell. Taste is bitter orange rind, citrusy hops and a clean sharp, bubbly lively body that cuts through maiking it very easy to drink and refreshingly dry. Pretty nice all around and the alcohol is well hidden too. Nice beer.

Feb 4, 2008 Bottle. Strong hop aroma, lots of pine with lighter citrus. Orange with a big white head. Highly drinkable, well balanced with good bitterness and a full-bodied palate.

Feb 2, 2008 Golden amber color with an absurdly sticky head that leaves unparalleled lacing on the glass. Aroma is floral and citrusy hops with a very sweet maltiness. Flavor follows the aroma, with a nice dose of fruity hops and a sumptuous caramel malt profile that melts into a solid hop bitterness. Rich and luxurious on the palate.
