Pours a nice copper color, topped by an inch of cream colored foam. Good head retention and lacing. Hop bitterness, pine, and light malt in the aroma. Flavor is pretty intense with big piney hops and big caramel malt. Toss in some citrus hop flavors. Toss in some toffee-like malt flavors. Delightful pine and grapefruit and alcohol in the finish and aftertaste. Just when all Double IPAs start to taste too much alike, this one comes along and stands on its own. As hoppy and bitter as it is, the malt really makes this one. Medium to full body, gentle but substantial carbonation.

Draft. Hazy orange-honey color pour with a white head. Good lacing. This was served to me as a pint for $5... This is a decent IIPA, but there isn’t anything remarkable here. Just a standard East Coast style version. There is something, that I can’t quite put my finger on, that could make this beer better. Maybe it’s a bit more sweetness to coat the inside of the mouth to precede that hop bite. Still, not too shabby.

Pours a medium hazy amber with a decent head. Nice sticky lacing also. Big piney hop aroma and a touch of floral. Flavor is once again big bitter hops. There are some mild malts as well but the hops overpower them. But not in a bad way. A true big hop pleasure.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a nice white head on top that is sticking to the glass. Aroma is full of hops with citrus, pine and floral coming through. Hints of caramel and malt come in at the end too. Flavor is piney hops with some sweet malt. Finishes with a nice bitterness. A decent beer but not near the top of IIPAs.

22 ounce bottle. Dark amber with a big sticky white head. Sort of a funky soapy aroma. Some citrus is begining to break through as it warms. Same sort of Proctor and Gamble taste. Long bitterness with lots of bubbles. Not a real big fan of this.

22oz. bottle. Citric and moderately juicy hop aroma, plenty of lemon and pine combined with a lighter amount of pale malt sweetness, perhaps a hint of light brown sugar. Medium-dark amber color, lightly hazy with a lasting, fine, uneven head. Flavors are actually fairly well balanced throughout but of course do lean to the fruity and hoppy side, primarily, with more lemony citrus and a touch of grapefruit combined with the lightly sweet maltiness, which actually disappears largely towards the finish, which is significantly drying and even a tad astringent. Abundant effervescence combined with an oily texture and medium-full body. Alcohol is nowhere to be seen. Enjoyable and easily drinkable, but not able to match the texture and complexity of the great IIPAs.

Hazy orange with fluffy white head. Aroma is of pineapple and citrus. Taste is dry and crackery with slight citrusy sweetness, and finishes with bitter hops. Not really an IIPA, but a decent product nonetheless. $6/22oz
