Feb 18, 2007 Pours copper with lasting white head. Huge floral nose with citrus undertones reminescent of orange blossoms. Tons of hop flavor and sweetness with bitter finish. Could use some more malt to balance as it is somewhat cloying. Beer really show off the hops, but needs more support.

Feb 16, 2007 For me, the aroma was much more appetizing than the taste. But then again, the aroma is supposed to entice and the taste to quench. So it would probably be better to say that ultimately this is an enticing beer but not one that quenches one’s thirst for a double IPA. Smell of circus peanuts and Pine-Sol. Tasted somewhat soapy with a dry finish.

Feb 16, 2007 Courtesy Fantomas23. Pours a pretty dark amber with a light white head. Somewhat hazy. Very interesting smell for a double IPA. You get the hops at first but the longer you smell it becomes spicy, almost like some sort of Mexican food. Very unique. Pretty big hoppy taste up front, but mellows out towards the end, but develops a certain sweetness to it. Pretty smooth for a double IPA, and the hops werent ungodly overpowering which was pleasant.

Feb 15, 2007 Deep gold, light tan head. Nose is sticky resin, pine, butterscotch, quite sweet and rich. Flavor is malt, resin, sweet malty goodness. Unique but not really my thing.

Feb 15, 2007 Pours brown-amber with moderate white head. Aroma of sweet citrus caramel malts. Characterized by nice citrus bitterness. Sweet malts balance this quite well. Not complex enough for a rave review however.

Feb 14, 2007 Pretty much standard I2PA material, though not as intense as various others, and I2PAs are supposed to thrive on intensity. Lucky for this beer’s score, I’m not looking for great intensity right now.

Feb 13, 2007 Not as much hop bitterness as I would like from a Double IPA, but amazingly smooth and easy to drink. Head died quickly.

Pour is an awesome dark copper/amber color, not quite clear. With a nice sized head that lasted a while. The smell is a little meh, especially for a DIPA. Again, taste is good, just not for a DIPA. This makes this big brew very drinkable, and if was just and IPA, would be solid.
