Mar 13, 2008 Growler from Brewery.
This is one Bad boy. I love this beer. Pours nice copper orange with a billowing white head. Huge hop aroma with a straight forward citrus, grapefruit and sweet malt. You can see the hop resin in this one. Taste is same with a nice bready malt, sweet tangerine hop and tropical notes all over the place. This is freaking awesome! Mouthfeel is thick with a nice hop resin feel on the tongue. This is my kind of DIPA!

Apr 15, 2007 Updated: Jun 13, 2009On tap at the Liars Club on 11/30/06: Pours a clear deep golden bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet pale malt and fresh piny grapefruity hops. Starts sweet, caramely malty and viscous among a ton of fresh, green piny hops, thinning slightly toward a bittersweet finish. A pretty nice double IPA.
Cask at 2009 PP Real Ale Fest: Transparent orange bronze with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of fresh resiny grapefruity hops and sweet pale malt. Body starts with good toasty toffee malty sweetness with some light fruity notes and a ton of fresh citrusy flavoring hop balance before a crisp bittersweet finish. A very nice IIPA.

Aug 7, 2009 Growler from my man Naven. Pours like budweiser, smells like heaven. Light straw pour. Huge floral hop nose. Very reminiscent of a boozier version of sculpin and daddy likes some booze. Excellent.

Jan 31, 2007 Clear light copper color with a white head. Aroma is tons of pine, citrus and a bit of must. Grassy flavor is hop forward and bitter. Big pine notes.

Dec 12, 2008 Ultra fresh growler pour at BA Numbskull line tasting. Copper color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was big and bold with fresh green hops, chlorophyll, and citrus.
the flavor is citrus and spices with a bit of cotton candy. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is medium in duration and biter. Overall: This one begs comparison to Duet, but its a bit bigger and hoppier. Very tasty stuff.

Sep 30, 2009 growler - thanks alex for another alpine hookup; this one was tasty; dark orange with slight haze and fluffy white head; big nose of resiny hops; slightly on the thin side with a little malty sweetness; some booze and quite bitter, but also quite easy to knock down; a lovely DIPA

Aug 13, 2007 Draft at PP Carlsbad. Golden yellow color with a nice white head. Lots of apricot, pineapple, citrus aromas with touches of vanilla too. Flavors were similar with sweet malts to back it up. Floral flavors came through more as the beer wamed. Pretty good stuff.

Dec 21, 2006 On tap @ Liar’s Club. Just beautiful. Hops abound, in typical Alpine tradition. Tastes so fresh and clean. My first impression was that it tasted like a hybrid of Exponential Hoppiness and Duet. Which I am sure is not the case, but should give an idea of what I was tasting. Simply delicious. I’d love to see this go into rotation.
