May 29, 2009 This pours a light orange/amber color with a big white head. Aroma was grapefruit, some pine and some slight sweetness as well. Flavor was much more balanaced than expected. Very sweet fromt he massive amount of malt, but at the same time extreme hops flavors meld in. Not extremely bitter, just balanced to not to too sweet for an IPA, but not be a hop bomb either. Hides the alcohol well when cold, but isnt too great once it warms.

May 28, 2009 Bottle thanks to Smokepot23!
Hazy transparent bronze, large white head. Spicy green nose, loads of citrus (orange) and grass. Hop barrage. Flavor is sweeter, malt and caramel emerging near the finish to give some balance to the overriding grass and citrus. A little sticky on the palate. somewhat salty, but nicely carbonated to balance out the hop overkill. Drink this one cold: it descends to the basic IIPA formula with warmth, unlike the best examples.

May 18, 2009 Sampler at the brewery.
Pours golden, thin white head.
Aroma has hoppy written all over it.
Taste, floral hops, some cheese like mold and spices, keeps a light and balanced caramel tones, finish was on the more bitter side.
Nelson proved to be a tad better to my taste buds, kept more sweetness even though it was loaded with hops.

May 15, 2009 Gold coloured body with a thin white head. Strong potent hoppiness in the nose all with a nice malty scent too. Medium-bodied; Potent hops in the taste with a great flavour and a strong kick! Aftertaste bitter, but very nice to try! The hops are really crazy, strong as hell! Overall, a damn good beer - a great IPA, bordering on the line between Imperial and non. I sampled this beer on draught at the Liar’s Club in San Diego, California on 23-September-2006.

May 5, 2009 Updated: Aug 24, 2009On tap at Boonville Beer Fest. An excellent DIPA. Clear orangish amber color with a nice white head. Aroma of citrusy, piney hops and malty sweetness. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, very well balanced with a sharp citrusy hop bite and light fruit notes. Fairly full mouthfeel for the style and some oils noticeable.
