Aug 1, 2008 Bottled sample via (and shared with) oakbluff. Very clear orange in colour with medium carbonation. This is a citrusy c-hop assault on the nose, with pine and grass notes following up. The clean malt flavors mix well with the huge orange-grapefruit hop explosion. Fine drying bitterness, with no alcohol notes (surprising for an 8% brew). Reminds me a bit of Two Hearted, but kicked up a notch. Great stuff.

Jul 27, 2008 Clear amber with a frothy head. Nice piney, floral hop aromas with some ashy ganja roach. Medium body with soft carbonation. Great taste is a caramel malt sweetness carrying fantastic hop flavors of pine sap and wild flowers. Earthy sweetened hop tea here. great beer.

Jul 27, 2008 From a bottle shared by krausenjockey, very nice for an IPA with more of a resin filled IIPA nose. The flavor is much more subtle and balanced with caramel malt, with a nice, clean dry finish.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle pours amber/orange color with tan head. Aroma is big pine, citrus, and bold hops. Has a medium mouthfeel and has hop blast upfront with mostly citrus coming through. Some malt on the back end and is overall a really nice IPA.

Jul 8, 2008 Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. This brew is a mostly clear orange-gold color with a thin off-white head that diminishes steadily. Patchy lacing on the glass. Fruity hops aroma with some caramel malt interplay. Medium-bodied and lively on the tongue with a floral hops character and a solid caramel and malt undertone. The finish is citrus and hops with a lingering bitterness left over. Good all around.

Jul 8, 2008 22oz bottle. Attractive hop dominated aroma with grapefruit, pine resin, and lime notes. There was also a whiff of spices. Poured a clear medium orange color with a lasting off white head. Some decent lace was left behind on the glass. Light to medium bodied with hop bitterness on the higher end of the spectrum (7-ish out of 10). The flavor was mostly resiny/citrusy hops with a delicate graham cracker/caramel malt backbone. Delicious. Eminently drinkable.

Jul 5, 2008 Huge aroma with the best hop balance/combination of any imperial iPA in San Diego county. Clear golden color. The flavor isn’t overly bitter but has a large amount of malt but not too sweet, to an retain an IPA-type balance. Very tasty. Hits you in all sides of the mouth with a combination of bitterness and sweetness. Overall I love this beer. I’ve had it several times and it continues to be a favorite of mine. Actually, I think the cask version of this is probably the best double IPA I’ve ever had.
