Bottle at GABF 2008. Hazy amber coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of hops and pine needles. Fruity flavour of hops and pine needles with notes of caramel and grass. Dry hoppy finish.

Medium amber in color, with a huge, creamy, off-white head. Big bready malt aroma with flowery hop s that put out mango, pine and grapefruit notes. Nicely balanced, oily, creamy and soft yet full bodied.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Hazy, amber golden with a creamy, beige head. Lightly citrusy, hoppy nose. Medium body with a distinct malt sweetness and some dry, lightly citrusy aroma hops in the finish. This lacks some balls to be a truly great Double IPA. 301107

Bottle. Pours a nice deep amber colour. Sweet, hoppy, woody herby and fruity aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet and woody with softly roasted malt, dark fruits, caramel and hops. The finish is sweet with a pleasant soft roasty maltiness, bit herby.

Cloudy amber color, big creamy head. The aroma is fresh, hoppy, not impressive. Medium bodied, less than expected; some toffee flavor and correct bitterness, but not sweet enough fruity nor resiny. This bottle is almost one year old and strangely didn’t keep up gracefully.

cloudy amber color; creamy head. Reasonably good malt and fruity aroma, partially covered by some infection; also some sweat. Good body, good malty flavor, giving some fruitness, quite sweet, but spoiled as well by the infection. Should be tried again.

Beautiful hazy red amber color; creamy head. Strong hoppy aroma, very fruity (oranges), and with pine needles and pine resins. Medium body structure, less sweet than expected, with leading caramel flavor and a very strong bitterness (bitter orange fruitness and some resins). Good.

Aroma: Very aromatic, smelling of pine scented hops.
Appearance: Poured a cloudy orange color with a big frothy, long lasting head which left ample lacing throughout the entire glass.
Flavor: Sweet, malty, hoppy and delicious describe this Double IPA.
Palate: Nice mouthfeel for a big beer like this. Hides the alcohol well and has lots of hops in the finish.
Overall: I love this ale and will have to give it many more tries. It’s going to be a Hoppy Christmas in Hurley. New York!

22 oz. bottle from moejuck, thanks man! Pours cloudy amber-chestnut color with a large and fluffy beige head. Aroma of toffee, citrus and pine forest. Flavor is interesting tart and a bit bready, toasty notes, pine, lemon peel and fresh bitter herbs and evergreen oil in the finish. Medium to full body and smooth carbonation.
