Feb 24, 2008 Slightly cloudy deep orange pour with decent head. Piney and floral aromas and tastes dominate. Not bad... smooth for 9.2%. Overall a little too bitter and soapy for me.

Feb 22, 2008 Aroma: Fusel alcohol and bittering hops.
Appearamce: Pours thick and clear with a nice 1/2 inch head.
Flavor: Thick hop juice but all on the bittering side, not much defined hop flavor or aroma.
Palate: Sticky, syrup, bitter
Overall: This would be a lot better if they used more aroma hops and dry hops and lowered the ferment temp to avoid the hot alcohols that are present. Overall disapointing.

Feb 20, 2008 Pours a light golden amber color with medium head and limited lace retention. The smell is mostly piney with malty and citrus under tones. The hops are not overwhelming but definitely present. The taste is a sweet & smoother for the ABV. A nice bitter bite at the top but quickly melds with a pleasant malt backing. This is more of an English style IPA feel as the hop blend. Overall I thought this was a good beer but being a hop head I just wanted more aroma and less bittering hops and very smooth for a 9% beer.

Feb 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy Ian. Pours out a cloudy amber with a thick white head. Aroma is big and malty with a powerful balance of hops. Taste is malty with lots of caramel malt, very big body. Lots of hops straining to balance all of that malt. Nice bitter aftertaste.

Feb 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light orange amber with a moderate off-white head, nice lacing. Malts and a grassy hops in the nose. Resinous hops with citric and floral notes. Quite bitter in the finish with a hint of sweetness. Dry nice flavor. Foamy and mouthfilling with a lingering bitterness that is a bit puckering.

Feb 17, 2008 Floral and fruity hop over tone. Some bitter under tone to it. Hazy orange/yellowish color, very bitter, amazing. Floral taste. Piney after taste. Bitterness really stays for a while. Very good double ipa.
