Dec 31, 2008 Bottle. Rich amber bronze beer with a big light tan head. Grapefruit aroma with light caramel and light earth. Grapefruit flavor with caramel and a light woodsiness. Medium bodied. OK bitterness, but could definitely use more. Grapefruit lingers with light pine and caramel.

Dec 28, 2008 750 ml Bottle. Dark orange color with a bit of haze and a frothy white head that settles quickly. Heavy citrus on the nose, with subtle pine and caramel. Flavor is somewhat sweet initially, but is rapidly replaced by an assertive bitterness. Mouthfeel is on the thin side for an imperial IPA. Finishes with a note of alcohol and a touch of tongue coating acidic hop resin. Beer does not quite live up to its fabulous nose as its overall qualities are a bit one dimensional compared to some other beers in this style.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours a wicked cloudy orange colour with a creamy white head. Aroma is floral, enticingly hoppy, pine grapefruit and lemon. Mouthfeel is creamy, slightly astringent with nice soft spritz. Taste is spicey, hoppy, and fruity all the way through. Awesome!

Dec 25, 2008 750, corked and baled courtesy mreusch. Pours clear orange with a massive pale yellow head that produces sheets of lace. Huge aroma: grapefruit, mango, pine and caramel. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Initially sweet taste with the same notes as the aroma. Soft resinous earthy finish. To my taste, this beer seems to be in the same midwest IPA camp as Two-Hearted IPA.

Dec 23, 2008 Amber pour with a quarter-inch white head. Fresh, fruity hop aroma. Flavor is not quite as hoppy as I expected, the malt coming out in force with an overtone of citrus. Nicely carbonated with good body and great lacing. Very good.

Dec 20, 2008 I am a big fan of a good IPA, and Boulevard came through with a nice offering in this Double-Wide in their Smokestack line.
Pours amber with an off-white head from the Smokestack 750mL bottle. Hoppy, as expected from an IPA. Malt and hops are the predominant flavors, but with a sweeter finish than many IPAs.
