Aug 20, 2009 Perfection! This is a simply exquisite beer. Some of the earlier raters who gave this less than 2 either had a skunked bottle or simply don’t know what they’re talking about. Such a viscous, mouth tingling beer with almost perfect balance between hop and malt. Alcohol well hidden, grapefruit intensity certainly present but not cloying. One of my all time favorites!

Aug 18, 2009 Extremely light in color and lacking the STRONG hop flavor of most double IPAs... it’s very malty. It could be that I got an old/aged bottle and the hops have mellowed. Quite tasty, though!

Aug 15, 2009 Pours hazy amber with a big off white head. Aroma is caramel malt, citrus and tropical fruits. The flavor is full of slightly sweet caramel malt and citrus flavor with a nice big bitterness that has hints of tropical fruit. Pretty good.

Aug 6, 2009 Golden brown body topped by a thin white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of pine, citrus and apricots. Citrusy-orange hops backed by caramel malts. Pine, maybe even spruce like bitterness. A little booziness in the finish. Not the best Double IPA, but certainly not the worst.

Aug 4, 2009 Bottle. Moderate aromas all around, with roasted and caramel for the malt, orange for the hops, broth for the yeast, and hints of date, cherry, toffee and alcohol. Head is average size, between creamy and frothy, white, with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy orange/tan. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly aicdic, then finishes moderately bittersweet. Palate is on the fuller side of medium, between oily and creamy, has a soft carbonation and finishes lightly alcholic and dry. On the sweet side, but an excellent DIPA with a smooth drinkability and no bad characteristics.

Jul 11, 2009 This beer gives a bad name to double IPAs. Do not buy this. Even if it’s free, don’t drink it. Dear Boulder Beer Company, Please stop making this.

Jul 11, 2009 Yuck! Dirty water from the kitchen sink. Whoever designed this just did it to do it. there is no passion in this beer. I used the rest of it to boil sausage in and it ruined my sausage.
