andersand (271), Malmö, Sweden Nov 6, 2009 Hazy amber colour with a large off-white head. Aroma is typical clean piney hops over a caramell foundation. Flavour is the same, quite generous and fairly balanced with a good hoppy aftertaste. Could do better with a less pine-tree and a more juice-like hop character. In my.. Opinion.. chriso (4679), London, Greater London, England Oct 27, 2009 Bottle, April 2008 tasting. Dark gold colour. Powerful hops throughout - lots of pine and grapefruit. Minimal malt backup and rather astringent bitterness knock it down a notch. Still a very tasty DIPA. Certainly doesn’t stray into that sweet sticky territory that some do.
sirpsycho (342), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange, creamy off-white head. Hops, caramel and sweet malt are present in the aroma. Flavor is dominated by hops and more hops, some sweet caramel and a touch of peach in the background. Finish is bitter and lingering. hombrepalo (745), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 20, 2009 22oz bomber courtesy of Maximum12 (Cory, Beeradvocate). Hazy orange color with fluffy head. Sweet hoppy citrus aroma. Grapefruit, orange, lemon, pine hops, and a malt backbone. Palate is smooth and a bit on the light side. Alcohol not noticable at 9.6%. Not as tasty as the Scrupulin but an above average IIPA. Thanks again to my fantasy baseball team and Cory. Madsnp (610), Odense C, Denmark Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear golden coloured with a nice big off white head. Aromas of caramel, malt, grapefruit, grassy hops and zest. Great! Flavours of resin, sweet malt, grapefruit, caramel and toffee. Tasty stuff.. sfhodense (554), Odense NØ, Denmark Oct 6, 2009 Pours golden with a large off-white head. Aroma is malt, hoppy, grass, citrus and grapefruit. Flavour is sweet malt, hoppy, citrus and grapefruit. brentfeesh (1030), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Oct 5, 2009 I don’t know if I can say anything about this beer that has not already been said. I find this to be a very fine DIPA. The color and appearance are right up my alley. Golden with a nice amount of carbonation and head. The aroma lets you know right off what you are getting yourself into. Plenty of citrus right out there in the nose. The flavor starts with a combined malty orange and hop orange citrus that fades quickly to grapefruit juice. The body is just right for this one and as it is not too thin or too heavy, it makes this DIPA quite quafable. I could have a couple of these in a row, where as many other DIPA’s I have to stop at one. A fine brew. Enjoyit (1697), Vadum, Denmark Sep 29, 2009 Clear amber of color with a foamy beige head. An aroma of grapefruit, hops, pine and malt. A flavor of malt, hops and grapefruit.
