Mar 10, 2008 Who could tell this was 10%? Well, probably the bartender after I had it on an empty stomach. This was a super-smooth hop trip where I imagined the Doors were playing LA Woman and I was floating over a field of flowers riding a malty carpet.

Mar 10, 2008 Really hoppy, and really soapy IIPA. Astringent hop presence that is not supplemented with any kind of moderating malt backbone. Very suprised to see the ABV at 10% as it really blends well into the drink. Lots of pine and tart grapefruit.

Mar 10, 2008 Hard for me to write "just another double IPA" when five years ago this would have been beer heaven. Good nose of citrus, wood, I’m thinking pine again. Cloudy orange. Hops, some malts, and hops again. Not balanced, but only the best IPAs and doubles seek balance. This is an enjoyable slam of hops. Yeah, a little more malt wouldn’t hurt, but the caramel ambers are there.

Mar 9, 2008 A delicious and incredibly drinkable IIPA that I’ve had quite a few times and just got around to rating. Aroma is all citrus and pine hops with not much else. Pour was a nice deep gold with a one finger off white head. Taste was very hoppy...the pine and citrus are big here, but the underlying malt backbone comes out too much in the aftertaste. A little too thick in the mouthfeel for my tastes, but does have good carbonation and hides the 10% ABV perfectly.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle. Nice orange apperance and thin white head. Not as intense as some double IPA’s but not bad. Has your typical citrus and pine and nice hopp finish. I love double IPA’s but this one doesnt stand out but not bad. I had two just to make sure.

Mar 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours a beautiful orange color with a thin white head that disappears quickly and leaves good lacing around the glass. Aroma is filled with hops and malt, and I would agree with the description it has a grapefruit like smell to it as well. The taste is excellent, it starts off malty and kind of sweet and finishes with a tart and tangy flavor from the hops. This is a crisp clean tasting beer that I enjoyed and will most certainly drink it again.

Mar 8, 2008 Bomber. Pours clear burnt orange with small off white head that disapates quickly. Aroma of pine hops. Flavor is pine hops and a little citrus. Not as complex as I would hope. Good IIPA but not great.
