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.

Dec 25, 2009 growler. Pale golden w/ struggling petite white head. Nose is every single sweet citrus, all of them... at once. Mandarin orange in sweet water, under-ripe grape fruit, gardenia, and booze. Exquisite DIPA.

Dec 20, 2009 Draught at Naja’s Place. Pours clear gold with an average, rocky white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (hay, straw, grain), heavy hop (earthy, pine), average yeast (sweat) with notes of pear, apricot, and peach. Full bodied, creamy start, lively carbonation, with a dry and spicy finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Nov 10, 2009 Bottle: Poured a light clear orangey color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and grapefruit hops is one-dimensional but still very interesting. Taste is also dominated by grapefruit hops with loads of great floral notes and light bitter finish. Malt is present thought doesn’t play a big role in the final taste. Body is about average with good carbonation and no signs of alcohol. Well done for a West Coast IIPA.

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..

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.

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.
