Jun 28, 2009 It poured a clear golden liquid with a medium sized foam that left a nice lacing. The aroma was very strong with lots of hops, both fruity and grassy hops. Which made it smell great and almost made me drool. The first sip delivered what the smell had promised, it was filled with hops, both fruity and grassy and a high bitterness. A very nice beer and one of the best DIPAs I’ve had.

Jun 27, 2009 Bottle (2009); hazy orange w/ a pretty dense yellowish-white head that left plenty of lacing; aroma dominated by in-your-face grapefruit, grass, pine and citrussy hops notes; flavor is caramelly as well and not as bitter as one would expect given the aroma; very tasty indeed. I prefer the Hopsoulution because of its balance, but this is more of a true DIPA.

Jun 25, 2009 Slightly hazy glowing orange golden in appearance. Big hop nose, some bready malt, fruity some peaches. Slight syrupy body, medium fullness. Bitter bitter bitter! The name says it all. Slightly acidic, could be smoother. Overall pretty good for the style but I’ve had better.

Jun 25, 2009 Bottled. The aroma has pine, grapefruits and aprikot. hazy, orange coloured with an off-white head. The taste is bitter with a little malty sweetness. There is pine, some grapefruit and aprikot. For an IPA the balance is good. Crisp, refreshing mouthfeeel.

Jun 20, 2009 Aroma: Obviously hoppy, significant pine. Appearance: Light golen, almost pilsner-like color and almost no carbonation visible. Flavor: Deceptive - feel like the name is suggesting major IBUs but they seem to be quite controlled and mellowed (perhaps by the honey?) I’m guessing only 80. Sense some Cascade and Simcoe hops. Palate: almost perfect. Nice balance and controlled release of flavor with silkiness and slight cutting carbonation. Overall: Very nice hoppy bear without being so bitter it can’t be enjoyed. Well done.

Jun 17, 2009 Bottle 355ml from crackedkettle.com. Lovely hoppy nose. Very inviting. Surprisingly sweet taste. Some slight marmite sneaking in. Not overly bitter. The aroma is definately superior to the taste.

Jun 16, 2009 Orange peel amber hue with white fluffy head, honey definitely comes up to the nose and cuts the piercing fragrance of the floral hops with some alcohol, thick and subtle piney bitterness but overall pretty smooth I attribute to the honey
