Commercial Description:
This monstrous version of our IPA has been overloaded with everything from the malt to the hops, even the tunes we rocked out to during the brew day were huge. this bottle conditioned Double IPA is abound with aromas of citrus hops, English toffee, and fresh baked biscuits. Carmel notes, hoppy lovin’ and slight yeastie notes jump off your tongue. <br /> Enjoy this bottle conditioned beer in a large snifter slightly warmer than normal with the one who keeps you warm at night.<br />82 IBUs

Bottle. Orangey pour with a soapy head. Aroma is not so good - some hops, but way too piney and resiny, some sweetness. Flavor is better, but not great. Sorry blue frog.

Thanks Jason. But, this one is terrible. Pours to a hazy viscous bright golden amber body with a tall, lasting, foamy white head and nice lacing. But, that’s it for this beer... a good appearance. The aroma is a buttery biscuit, citrus, and silage. The flavor is buttered biscuits, astringent silage hops. Astringent palate with noticeable alcohol. Drain pour.

Hazy amber body under a big fluffy off-white head. Blase aroma - wet grain and a dull leaf-hop thing. Tastes like they dry-hopped this thing with stale hops for 2 months - grassy, astringent and slightly sour. Bleh.

From a 750 ml corked and caged bottle purchase at Bevmo in Sacramento for way too much money, this poured a cloudy orange with medium while head and light lacing. Nose was of malts, citrus hops, and alcohol. Mouthfeel was slick and oily. Flavor was of flowers, malts, caramel, citrus, and again there was that alcohol. Yeast in the finish.

(750ml Bottle) Pours a clear carbonated golden body with a large rocky off-white head. Aroma of mustiness, floral, citrus, toffee, and toasted oats. Flavor of caramel, floral hops, toasted malt, and some soapiness with a dry, bitter finish.

On tap at Lucky Baldwin’s IPA festival ’07. Cloudy light orange-gold with a thin off-white head. Aroma is mainly fruity maltiness with some malt sweetness. The flavor is sweet and malty as well with some light fruitiness. The mouthfeel is thicker at first then smooths out and finishes weakly.

Apricot cloudy color. Bitter and sour but the alcohol is really right up front in the flavor in aroma--too much so for my taste.
