Mar 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber/copper color with a small lasting creamy off white head. The aroma is crisp citrus (grapefruit and orange), light pine, and moderately sweet. The flavor opens with moderate sweetness and big grapefruit character before finishing with nice hoppy bitterness. There is enough malt to stand up to the hops. Medium/full bodied. The 10% is well hidden. I like this one alot. Maybe I should change my style preference to IIPA?

Mar 25, 2008 Bomber. Aromas of grapefruit citrus and likely a bit of pine. Amber color with a nice white head. Medium to full body with smooth carbonation. Kind of sweet, a touch woody or funky, and some interesting mix of fruit and hop flavors. Finish is pretty dry, and the hop pickles the top of the mouth. A pretty good, perhaps great, DIPA. Drinks well.

Mild fruity overripe apricot sweetness with grapefruity citrus bitterness and bitter medium dry finish. Medium-full body and medium carbo. Slight carbo bite. Alcohol well-hidden. Pretty nice.

Mar 22, 2008 Pours orange with a medium off-white foamy head. Lots of citrus and hops in the aroma with something funky coming from the malt. The alcohol is pretty nasty in this, especially on the finish where its way bitter too. Lots of melon-like fruit and some citrus juiciness. A little bit dry in the finish...with some spices. Just not a lot of balance. I don’t like brewers who think an IIPA is just "stuff as much of each ingredient in as possible", the overall taste of the beer should be considered too... duh

Mar 21, 2008 A decent dipa. Nice spicy aroma. But a little lacking on the finish. Hides the alcohol okay. Not bad, but not the best dipa I have had.

Mar 21, 2008 Nice story on the label. Appears bubbly viscous and gooey. Dull pine aroma. Terrible raggon medicine. Bitter nasty kah kah. Crude rude and mean. Above average double dose of hops. Burping pine cones. Green grapefruit rinds for a long lingering finish. Good example of the style. Just plain yukky.

Mar 15, 2008 On tap at the Spring Lounge, NYC. Sweet fruity hop aroma. Slightly clouded orange in appearance with a thin head. Lace clings throughout the glass. Sweet hops again in the flavour with hints of orange zest. Tangy finish. Nice IPA.

Mar 13, 2008 Tap at Spring Lounge. Pours a deep hazy golden amber colour. Aroma is very fresh and hoppy with lots of orange peel, grapefruit and a rich resiny hoppiness. Quite fruity and sweet with a nice hoppiness. Nice IIPA. Light juicy and spicy with some lingering muskiness and citrus character.
