Sep 4, 2008 Bottle thanks to Kegbear. Poured a deep golden with a fresh hop and sweet citrus spice aroma. Damn nice flavors of peach, fresh hops, citrus, floral characters, sweet malt, and some light but noticeable spice. Very smooth and tasty brew.

Jul 29, 2008 Fresh bottle. Pours a hazy, glowing orange-amber color. A dense, foamy, off-white head settles slowly to a thin blanket, leaving thick rings of lacing on the glass. The nose is booming! Notes of orange and lemon chiffon, grapefruit, and pine hops are accompanied by a sweet but unobtrusive toffee malt background. The flavor is equally impressive, with massive citrus and pine notes being tempered by a touch of lactic cream and sweet but appropriate toffee malts. Crushing bitterness, but sufficient malt sweetness for balance. The body is about as big as it gets for the style, but never gets to be overly cloying. Finishes semi-dry, with lingering citrus notes. This is a world-class beer, for sure.

May 12, 2008 This was a bottle from last year, but damn it was still amazing. I’d love to try a fresh bottle. You could tell the aroma died down a bit because of the huge amount of bitterness, but other than that it tasted great, with a nice malty backbone and a great hop flavor to accompany the high IBU level. One of the better DIPA’s I’ve tried.

May 25, 2009 2009 Bottle - Thanks Snojerk321! - Pours a cloudy orange with a medium white head...aroma is mostly green grapefruit and caramel... flavour is similar, and while there is a terrific malt and bitter hop balance, it never comes close to sweet, rather a rich, piney dry malt concoction that rocks, the alcohol was terrific in this brew...

Sep 16, 2008 22 oz. bomber. Pours an orange-amber with a nice frothy white, good lacing. Aroma is very nice, clean hops. I get flowers, grass, pine, and orange/grapefruit. Flavor is a touch of malty sweetness with loads of citrus, pine, and a nice bitter finish. Very clean, dry finish. Great DIPA.

Jan 9, 2009 Hop Bomb! 22oz bottle. Pours a golden hue with a strong pine aroma. Solid 1 finger white head. Great flavor of grapefruit, pine, and lemon peel with a firm little bite on the finish. Great beer after a surf session and a day at the beach... a true San Diego DIPA.

Sep 2, 2009 Thanks to grownfool for this one! Pours a nice cloudy orange with thick white head, lots of lacing. Aroma is glorious of citrus hops, very slight floral, decent herbal notes, pine, grass, and some spices. Flavor comes together ever so nicely and makes for a wonderful drink.

Oct 23, 2009 Bottle. Golden orange pour with some white head, bottle had noticeable sediment. A balanced IIPA with citrus, floral hop characteristics, and a caramel malt balance. Well done!
