12 oz bottle. Pours orange with a light head. Heavenly hop aroma. The flavor reminds me of fruit loops, orange, grapefruit and tangerine with light pine and sweet malt notes in just the right proportions. Medium body with the perfect level of carbonation. I must say…This stuff is a knock out success!

Pours a clear amber color with a light lacing head. Strong citrus and hoppy aroma. Definitely kicks you in the face. Strong, citrusy flavor. Almost acidic, but really good. Tastes like liquid hops! Can’t really sense the alcohol. But it’s a really well put together beer.

The hops in this one slam into you like a novacaine hurricane and don’t let up until you tap into submission. Beautiful gold pour with a massive citrus and floral aroma that largely features oranges. Some honey in the flavor on top of the aforementioned ingredients. For serious hop lovers only.

Simply the best beer I’ve had in some time. Gorgeous copper color with a tall soapy head. Clingy lacing with an aroma of hops and grapefruit. Taste is fabulously well-balanced-hops, citrus, and a touch of alcohol.

Had at 3 sons tasting in wexford and liked enough to buy a bottle. I must say that this is a very interesting double ipa. Would have never guessed at the 9.5%. Pours a dark orange color with a nice amount of froathy white head. Aroma is light and citric, grapefruits and lemon especially. Flavor is also pretty light and almost bubbly on tongue going down. Hops are more of an accent than a harsh overpowering "slam" like one would expect. Overall, very enjoyable.

Bottle. Via trade with Ughsmash. Batch 7690. Somewhat murky pour with a copper color just this side of orange. White lacing but no head. Buttery hop aroma with tons of grapefruit, grapefruit, grapefruit and some strawberry notes. Big fruity bitterness. More grapefruit in the flavor as well and flowers and pine. Hop forward and dry. Quite malty mid-palate but it finishes dry and bitter again. A great IIPA.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is of caramel, citrus and pine hops, and a hint of alcohol. Flavor starts off with the caramel and citrus flavors and finishes with the pine hops and slight alcohol. For the price I was expecting more, it’s a decent double IPA but not nearly what I was expecting.

Orange-amber body with suspended sediment, large off-white head. Nose is spicy and fruity with hops. Firm spicy/fruity semi-sweet body with moderate finishing bitterness. Some alcohol presence. 8 4 8 3 17 RERATE 2/08: Draft. Hides the alcohol remarkably well.
