Sep 4, 2007 Wow, can I drink this forever? It may not be uber-complex but this is just about as good a DIPA, possibly even as tasty a beer, as you could hope for. Sure there’s some malt, and this one’s got body, but this is about fruity hops, pure and simple. Big in the aroma, and huge in the flavor. Full bodied, citrus and melon everywhere, just awesome.

Sep 3, 2007 had it on tap at a pizza place. the head has a tanish white color that dissipates with in a minute, the body is a golden amber color, has a hoppy aroma.. not much of an aroma all together, oily texture (not as thick of a texture as other IPAs) has a decently strong alcohol taste, has a hoppy taste to it with a hint of citrus and caramel, a sweat bitter taste altogether. this beer is decent nothing to amazing but it taste’s great with pizza.

Sep 2, 2007 thanks to IrishBoy for this beer. Body is amber, with very thin white head. Aroma is a piney, soapy, hoppiness, with floral notes and light citrus. Taste is a little soapy with a nice floral hoppy content, light fruit, and caramel.

Aug 26, 2007 Bomber. Almost clear amber/orange with a medium head. Fair lacing. Aroma is big citrus hops; grapefruit and orange. A lot of orange in the taste with some tropical fruit and melon. West-coast balanced. Just a bit of sweet malt. Bitter citrus-rind finish. Another great west coast IIPA.

Aug 20, 2007 Bottle thanks to miketd. Golden color with a medium white head. Aroma is big, citrusy, and sweet - lots of cantaloupe, floral hops, and sweet malt. Flavor is overwhelmingly dominated by sweet hops and cantaloupe. Citrus, floral hops, and some sugary malts mix in there nicely. Light hop sting and a smooth, not overly heavy mouthfeel make it a really nice DIPA. Refreshing and lively

Aug 13, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear orange amber with big foamy white head. Aroma is sweet malt and floral hops. Taste is very full with semi-sweet caramel malts and piney hops. Juicy light fruits make the hops seem powerful without having a bitter bite. Very nice.

Aug 2, 2007 Ballast or blast? Excellent combination of enough malt to support ENORMOUS hop blast. Hot with alcohol and hops and I’m in the mood and I love it. yum yum yum
