| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Mar 28, 2009 A fully-hopped, and surprisingly pale for the strength double IPA. Plenty of hops are added to balance the disinctly sweet malt in this extreme beer. I concur with the brewer that the hops have contributed a citrus flavor most similar to grapefruit. I also concur with Cletus with respect to the touch-of-honey finish. A unique offering in the ever-expanding high-gravity market. freekyp (901), Thomasville, North Carolina, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Mar 15, 2007 Updated: Jul 7, 2008Full and malty with a wicked huge off-white head and more lacing than a wedding dress. Redolent with resiny hops and a long bitter finish. If you could call an imperial IPA balanced, this is it. Huge amount of malt; huge amount of hops. All of it pleasing to the eye, nose and mouth. I could live on this stuff. Aroma is somewhere between pine, grapefruit and bong water (but in a good way). Git cho Mojo on! GreatLibations (1447), Last Supper, Arizona, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 19, 2007 Pours golden w/ a medium sized, semi creamy froth. Full ring residual lacing. Aroma of bright grapefruit citrus rind. Medium full nectar w/ soft and creamy residual effers. Huge hopsy citrus trees form the general disposition here w/ a moderate malt backbone. Theres a citrus tree in every bottle. A mild sweetness factor is not abused but makes it very tastey indeed. Suculent and addictive. This mild sweetness is like a candy necklace kind of flavor, not thick and cloying. Very interesting. Cramel, leather, vanilla bean, only slight grapefruit (more rind), candy necklace. The finish is well bittered w/ asprin that digs in and lingers. Very rich but not overdone. Well balanced and the alcohol is well hidden. Highly recommended.

Very Underrated Brewing Company. Wonder if the "Hippie" packaging disuades some buyers? This is an excellent beer with clean crisp citrus hops and a malt backbone to withstand the burn. Wow, will be buying this again! greenleaf (90), Florida, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 7, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours nice copper-gold color with a decent white head. The nose is citrus and floral. The taste is very rounded and almost sweet. This is contradictory to many of the other Double IPA’s I have had. This beer has a very light body for the gravity of this beer. While Im not sure that this is true to style. This is by far the best double IPA I have had. manuchampions (116), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | 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!
