lovemyipas (420), sw burbs, Illinois, USA Mar 13, 2008 pours dark copper color with a huge 2 1/2 finger fluffy soapy light tan head. aroma is toasted malt and hops with some pine, soap, and orange rind. has a medium body with big lacing and just right carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger with some floral and a little alcohol. has a nice dry hop aftertaste and has some sediment floating around. its descent. as it warms a little more alcohol shows thru in the aroma and flavor. the hops stick to the tongue for a while as well. kmeves (1080), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA Mar 12, 2008 Pours a carbonated amber with huge frothy white head. Aroma is caramel sweet, orange peel and grapefruit. Flavor is moderately sweet, piney, grapefruit, orange and caramel malt. Finishes long bitter and dry, medium to full body.
hombrepalo (726), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 12, 2008 bottle. Poured out a nice glowing amber color, light head, quickly fading. Floral hop aroma, fresh and crisp. delightful taste of quality hops and malts, well balanced in lots of ways. Excellent finish. One of the top IIPA. jonnabrix (136), Newberrytown, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 11, 2008 A nice double IPA. The hops come through in the aroma and flavor as very floral and fruity, and there is plenty of sweet malt presence to balance it nicely JensenTaster (1585), Denmark Mar 4, 2008 (on bottle, thanks Yngwie) Dark orange, white head. Well and good balance between hops and malts, perfect match of the two. The taste is a hopattack; citrus, dirt, grass, grapefruit; they all storms the tastebuds. The finish in classi IIPA; metallic and dry. BellsFan (47), Michigan, USA Mar 2, 2008 Orange/Brown ale with slim to no head. Taste like a standard IPA. No hints of this and that. Good beer. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA Mar 2, 2008 Another bottle from Daniel that I have wanted to try for a while. Not sure how old this bottle is, but it was past prime (hopefully). The hops had subsided leaving only the sticky sweet sense of what once was probably a really good double IPA. Looks like creek water, but thank God it smells better. Taste has some hoppiness to it...with a little bit of pine and grass flavor as well. Good beer, not the best, but good enough to drink. Probably much better fresher. thewolf (5621), Kolding, Denmark Mar 2, 2008 Bottle @ thewolf tasting.
[thank you, Yngwie]
Pours a light hazy red amber with a great, yet small, creamy off-white head. Aroma has fruity hops, lots of grapefruit and pine. Behind that, there is a good malty caramel backing. Wonderful creamy and semi-dry mouthfeel. Flavour is hoppy (surprise?), quite balanced, though still a bit one-sided.
