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.

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.

Pitcher pour at 2009 GABF. This white head over a clear golden (SRM 10) body....nose of big pine, resin and grapefruit.....taste initially is sweet malts, caramel, toffee, finishing with floral and grapefruit bitterness....mouth feel thick, carbonation low. A nice example of the style, with all the usual characteristics. Tasting 9/26/09.

22 oz. bottle shared at Logan’s 2009 pre-GABF Party. Light copper pour with a white head. Big, bitter grapefruit hop aroma. Flavors of bitter pineapple, grapefruit, with a nice toffee balance. Very good.

22 oz. bomber at Teresa’s. Poured hazy orange with white head. Big blast of citrus and some resinous pine in there as well. This beer has great balance between hops and malts. Grab this one if you’re lucky enough to find it.
