May 20, 2009 From bottle. Pours copper colored with typical light tan head. Fruity floral hops and sweeter malts than expected. A decent bitter finish, but a little sweeter and fuller in the malts than I prefer. Still, one of the better double IPAs out there, I think.

May 20, 2009 Bottle. Poured an orange-ish amber with a thin egg-shell head. Fair amount of hops in the nose leading to thoughts of citrus and pine. Clean crisp flavor, nice balance of caramel sweetness and hoppy grassyness. Nice floral hop profiles, medium bitter finish. Yum.

May 15, 2009 Thanks to whomever shared this with me. A nice mix of hops in the nose, pine, citrus and even some grain can all be picked out. Flavor is bitter and slightly sweet. Good stuff.

May 15, 2009 22 oz. bottle. pours a light amber, soft tall head. an aroma of toast, nuts and a little banana . tastes of a variety of hops, that i could never list, a nice mix of light malt. sour, dry lingering bitterness. a noticeable alcohol content, for me the bitterness of hop and sweetness of malt did not even out, for ’experimental’ its still a nice bottle of beer.

May 13, 2009 this would be batch #2 as the bottle states...
a hazy reddish copper colored pour is capped by a 1.5" tan tinted off white head. rings and spotty lacing abound in this one.
it is slightly citrus numbing and resinous in the nostrils... followed by pine needles, leafy hops, caramel and a bunch of bubble gum.
the flavor is a bit peachy and citrusy but mostly toasted grainy and malty... there is a waxiness and bitterness throughout along with a dry crisp finish and lingering parching quality.
the medium body is a little thin when compared to the style. this keeps it very drinkable as it veers from stickiness. a creamy smooth mouth feel is nicely countered by bitterness... 7/4/7/4/16/3.8

May 13, 2009 Pours a murkey copper brown with some creamy off white head. Actually, the beer clears up nicely as it warms. The nose is ripe with grapefruit and pine, with a sturdy toasted malt backbone. The flavor is really well balanced with sweet malt and fruity hops. It finishes with a mild bitterness. Medium body and supremly drinkable. Really nice beer.

May 13, 2009 bottle pours a clear dark orange with a thin but clumpy head that leaves a slight lacing. The aroma is strong in the hops department, of the pine/ earthen sense, but what else is there? The taste is expectantly bitter but again lacking nuance.

May 11, 2009 Pours with a crystal clear, amber body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet and hoppy with grapefruit notes, a hint of pine, and a little apricot. Full bodied, smooth and a little dry.
