Lucky for this beer’s score, I’m not looking for great intensity right now.

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.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 6, 2007 Pours a hazy orangey amber color with a thin offwhite head. Good aroma of resinous, citrusy hops and malt. Good flavor of resinous, citrusy hops with malt, alcohol and a bitter finish. The body is light with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. This is a pleasant, well-balance double IPA. jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 6, 2007 Pours hazy amber/orange with a huge frothy/rocky off-white head. Fruity aroma of grapefruit, with lots of roasted malt and piney hops. Flavor is lightly sweet, piney, notes of caramel, lots of roasted barley, and light bitterness on the finish. Palate is medium, some bitterness, a bit oily/resiny, with some remnants of caramel and grapefruit. Fairly balanced, but the malt profile overshadows the hops a bit too much. Tasty, just would’ve liked some more hops. joebrew (608), Farewell Minny; Hello Puyallup, Washington, USA

Poured a translucent coppery orange with a quick-forming cap of dense beige head. The nose picks up dried leaves, pine forest, and sweet underlying grapefruit. Flavor was quite nice with a sweet citrus bouquet and surrounding pine and herbal bitterness... left a sticky caramel and grapefruit meat finish.. slightly warm. Enjoyed this one.
