May 10, 2009 Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is very hoppy with a little sour touch. The aroma is also hoppy, but is is very well balanced. The palate is complex with a good hops profile. Overall a very nice beer.

May 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours beautiful deep gold. Minimal foam head. Pine, evergreen, and honey sweetness with a bitter citrus are in the aroma. Taste is solid, though without the bite I was hoping for. The flavor is almost watery, considering the strong aroma and high ABV. It is a smooth finishing beer, the only downside is that it’s pretty much the same kind of smooth throughout. It’s a quality brew, just not anything to write home about.

May 7, 2009 Bottle. Bright amber color pour, minimal head. Soft crystal and golden malts, followed by a slightly sweet chewy resinous hop wallop of grapefruit and citrus. Dry hopping adds a slight pine like aromatic presence to the finish. Slight alcohol burn at the end rounds it out. This is definitely a west coast Imperial IPA, big on every level. Solid.

May 6, 2009 Very deep orange hue...a little bit murky but otherwise clear colour. Heavy citrus hops from the nose. Piney taste, orange peel, citrusy fruits, slightly sweet but not enough sweetness to balance out the massive bittering blast of this Double IPA monster. Brutal brew...could have used a bit more refining to make it a less challenging experience; i did, however, enjoy this.

May 5, 2009 Bottle Pours a cloudy golden orange with a big off white frothy head. The head seems to last well, and laces even better. Has a good hoppy aroma, of pine and citrus. Has a good carbonation and a good mouthfeel. Has a good bitter flavor. A well blended beer for ABV. Has a solid finish with a great aftetaste. Has a medium body. Very crisp and alittle bit of a dry texture. This is a darn good beer.

Poured orange tinted gold color. Nice head, good lacing and halo.
Smells of bread and piny hops.
Tastes a little too sweet, very earthy, mostly pine hops, no fruit hints, malt is there, sweet start, hoppy pine finish. Alcohol is hidden very well.
A bit of a chalky taste on the tongue. A little too sweet, and this combo slightly dulls the beer.
A good DIPA, for $8, i dont think it is that impressive, glad I only got one.

May 2, 2009 Bottle pours golden orange color with off white head. Aroma is grapefruit citrus and is a real hop blast. Nice. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is wonderful. Its a grapefruit puckering brew. Has some residual caramel on the finish and isn’t sweet at all. This is easily one of the best I’ve tried in the style. Just awesome. Thanks Mike for opening it.
