Pours orange/amber, with a small, white head. Citrus/pine hop aroma, with some malt as well. Taste is hops, pine, and bitterness. Malt is also there, but it kind of in the background. Body is medium.
Thanks to sick boy282 for this summer 2004 edition of Yulesmith.

Nov 20, 2008 <b>Big Thanks to Swolf3 for the bottle</b><br /><br />
22oz bottle pours a hazy golden with a small but nice looking head that leaves behind some decent lacing. Aromas of hops have faded I think, smells more malty almost like a strong ale rather than a IIPA, kind of weird judging it by color then the aromas. Flavors are still hop strong with pine and citrus coming through with a definite malt presence.

Nov 20, 2008 My favorite double IPA. Lots of hops of course. Has the hint of fresh oranges that is so great in double IPAs. Grapefruit and pine. Huge head. Not too sweet.

Nov 18, 2008 Summer edition. Was kept at a warm temp 85 Degrees so keep that in mind when I rate the appearance.
Appearance: poured a golden orange with a thick frothy head that while disapating turned rocky.
Smell: huge citrus and grapefruit notes mixed with some signifigant pine and floral aromas.
Taste: huge citrus/ grapefruit hop flavor, on second swill alcohol is very present on the after taste.
Palate: good, but rather acidic and alcohol potent on the after taste, definitely an enamel dissolver, but thats what you expect from a solid IPA
