bottle courtesy of beerlando: pours a good looking ambet colour with a white head. aroma is very grassy with lots of fresh hops, good malt to back it up the hops slight citrus (lime). flavour si very bitter hop with some citrus adn lots of grass, the malt is ther but hiding behind the hops, finishes with more bitterness.

Bottle. Big, syrupy and sticky throughout. Sharp, biting celery and toothpaste/mint hops, along with an astringent green tea note make this double IPA somewhat unpleasant, brash, unrefined and needlessly aggressive. Passable.

Bottle. Pours a murky orange/brown with a thick, foamy off-white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma of sweet fruits (apricot, apple, pear). Flavor of slight fruitiness with a bitter fruity hoppy finish. Nice double IPA, not too heavy.

Bottle. Aroma hoppy with pine, melon, leafiness; citrus comes on stronger as it warms. Flavor well balanced with bitter, piny hoppiness and earthy, pumpernickel caramel malt. Notes of berries come and go, along with the nice melon tones, almost mango-like, but very definitely hoppy and melon-like. Bitter finish, oddly enough. Very nice.

Bottle (muled in from Portland) Pours out a cloudy gold topped with a light tan head. Aroma of grapefruit citrus and light malt. Tast the same citrus. Not a lot of power for a Double IPA. Pretty thin for me.
