Pours deep golden yellow with a generous, lovely head. Nose is all floral hops, hints of grapefruit and other sweeter fruits. Flavor is well-balanced for something this hoppy, less bitter than others in the style. Big hop flavor balanced against the malts and fruits to make it an enjoyable IPA, at least for someone like me who is not a huge fan of the style. Lingering bitterness on the finish has roasted coffee notes--or maybe that’s just me.

Pours a clear orangey/gold color with off white head. Aroma of hops obviously, but caramel malt and slight citrus really makes it enjoyable. Caramel malts and spice up front makes way to the hop explosion in the finish. Very sticky, but I’m really digging this one. Another winner from Dogfish Head.

On tap at Papago. Pours a shiny amber color with a trim off-white head. Smells of pine, caramel, and grapefruit. Tastes of each with an added helping of salt - particularly at the back of the palate. Malty for its apearance. Dense and balanced. A fine DIPA.

12 fl oz brown bottle. Orange/deep gold colour. Large white head, sticky lace. Strong west coast grapefruit resiny hop scent, light alcohol. Flavour is floral and citrusy - notes of orange and grapefruit, honeyish sweetness. Finishes with a nice grapefruity/leafy hop dose that lingers, also some sharp alcohol. Medium body, carbonation is mild. Maltier than I was expecting, very drinkable.

smells floral and hoppy, poured it and i knew what i was in for. tastes like raisins, is complex but not what i was looking for, just not enough hops to balance out the rotten raisin flavor. i could see how people would be crazy for this, its just way too sweet and needs more hops not balanced at all, ata least for me. it seems to be more of a barleywine and at that is a very good ale, but when i get a double ipa i am looking for hops and this ale just gives me raisins and booze. if this was a barleywine i would give it a higher mark. it is very complex which i’ll give folks credit for but is just a barleywine.

Great beer! Good balance of hops and malt, Notes of citrus are my favorite of any DIPA.

Hazy amber with a fast disappearing white head. Strong hoppy aroma, grassy and fruity, boozy, caramel. Full bodied, sweet but quite hard to swallow. More balanced than other hop bombs has a nice not that bitter end.

Bottle. Hazy caramel appearance, pours a thin head that disappears quickly. A great balance between bitter hops and sweet malts that are almost too sweet. A must drink for any IPA/Double IPA lover. For casual beer drinking, i like the 60 minute better, but if your looking to concentrate on your brew, clearly the better of the two. overall-A+
