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.

Nov 23, 2009 BATCH #8277(01-09-08) This one is a year old. I’ll review a fresh one, once I can track down a bottle. Someday....
Nice, hazy, dark golden honey colored liquid. Two-finger head of thick off-white colored foam. Great retention and thick, sticky lacing.
Nice citrus hops are still big with this one. Orange and grapefruit, mostly. Hint of pine. Nice caramel malt presence, now. Nice floral quality.
Hops have definitely mellowed out. Quite abit, I’d guess. Still has a nice piney/grapefruity quality. Also has quite the caramel malt backbone, now. It’s really a very balanced beer, right at this point. The honey is easily detectable, also, and I find it to be a very nice component in this brew.
Good solid medium body. Almost sticky, the way it coats your mouth. Traces of it stay there, even after you swallow, then slowly make their way down your throat.
At this age, I find this to be a super drinkable beer. Very well balanced and all around tasty.

Big hop aroma. Golden coloured hoppy and smooth on the palate with a crisp and slightly dry malt finish.

Nov 15, 2009 I really like this DIPA although it tastes almost like a IPA because I’m reviewing this in March. Burnt orange in color after pouring the bottle into a tulip. Medium carbonation and a nice hoppy/citrus smell...also some sweetness. Sweet aftertaste, which I like along with hops...yum! No real aftertaste to me, very clean finish on the palate. I don’t think I’d guess this beer was 10%...tastes more like 6% or so...very deceiving! I could probably drink 2-3 in one session but that’s about it.

Nov 15, 2009 28th June 2008. Hoppy beer with honey. Nice grapefruity hops - smooth with a semi bitter finish. The bitterness is nicely offset by the well integrated honey. A very nice refreshing hoppy beer.

Nov 3, 2009 Bottle: Poured a dark copper with a little head. The aroma was hops, floral, and citrus. The flavor was hops, hops, slight bitterness and a touch of sweet citrus. Overall, this was actually VERY smooth and didn’t burn the taste buds. Excellent!
