Apr 5, 2009 Dark orange/amber. Super frothy, lacey off white head. Orange ribbon candy nose with spurts of caramel and spice, plump, juicy orange flavors with rindish bitterness in the finish. Fairly sweet and candy-like..flavors are actually quite nice. Slightly syrupy but not overly so, especially considering the sweetness here, which really takes those citrus hops and morphs them into orange candy. Really hot beer though..maybe not initially, but the throat and stomach feels thr warmth, almost burn quite quickly.

Apr 2, 2009 On tap at stone. Clear amber with fluffy white head that disappeared quickly to a tight ring. Nose is sweet hops with a bitterness. Similar to Green Flash IIPA but not nearly as strong. Flavor is same pungent sweet sharp hops as above. Lots of pine and citrus with the strong sweet hops. If you like this style, as I do, it’s a good brew.

Apr 2, 2009 Multiple drafts at Capones. Man this sucker is 8.1% but goes down so smooth and easy no wonder why I was so banged up by the time I left Capones. Calm down everyone I had a driver....geez. Pours an orange/amber with a large fluffy white head. Pine and citrus hops in the aroma and flaovr of super fresh hops with some grassy notes as well. Man was this good stuff.

Mar 31, 2009 Growler from Big Z Beverage. Pours a clear orange with a very small ring of white head. Aroma of sweet malt, hop oils, grassy hops, and grapefruit. Flavor of sweet citrusy malt and a slight bitter finish. Not too heavy (light for a IIPA actually) and well balanced with the hops to malt ratio. It really grew on me too. Nice one.

Mar 31, 2009 Growler from Big Z. Aroma of unbelievably fresh and popping piney, perfumy, and citrus-oil hops, bready malt. Flavor again of bready malt with all sorts of crazy hop notes, fruitier in the mouth, almost like some sort of perfumy, fruity candy that i can’t put my finger on. Still unbelievably oily, sappy even, and. Big bitter finish. Gulpable, medium-body for a DIPA. When Bear Republic gets their hops right, they get them dead on. How is this a 45.6 in style?

Mar 30, 2009 On draft at Capones. Pours a semi clear light orange amber with a medium off white head. Aroma of strong piney notes and plenty of hops. Taste of piney resin, citrus and plenty of hops. Classic west coast ipa.

Mar 30, 2009 On tap @ Capones. Poured dark orange with white head. Aroma was a malt and hops. Taste was pine, citrus, floral hops. The balance between the malt an hops was nice and finished nice. Easy to drink and overall a nice brew.

Mar 30, 2009 Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Poured a medium cloudy amber. Very big hop nose. Flavor that followed was similar. Very intense sticky, piny, floral hop front. Finish was solidly bitter. Middle of the beer seemed a bit thin, and was a bit off the mark, but still worth a try.
