Pours a cloudy dark orange color with a thin head. A nice mix of fruit and hops. Really a great IIPA 12 oz. bottle

Starts off sweet, with the hops bringing up the rear with attitude. Well balanced nonetheless. Worthy of its hype, and a huge success for a great brewery.

This is the real deal. I have had this on tap and in bottle, and both are superb. This is what an IPA is all about, hoppy, great aroma, good head. Pour this into your favorite goblet and enjoy it.

Pours the color of burnished cooper with an intesely delicious smell. In fact intensity is a good term to describe this beer; intense hop and malt flavor, intense crispyness, intense alcohol finish that leaves almost a sugary feeling going down. I would give it a higher rating but for the fact that everything’s explicit and ’in your face.’ In other words it lacks sublety like many American beers.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark orange with a thick, off-white head. Aroma of bitter garlicy and grassy hops and toasted malt. Flavor is quite toasty with some grassy icky bitter hops. Apparently this used to be good in the past when they bottle conditioned it, but it’s not a very good IIPA right now...so why do people rate this so high??? There are SO SO SO many better IIPAs out there!!!

A great solid IIPA just piped by the ruination. Pours witha bubbly head. Strong floral hops on the nose and a good alcoholic finish. Can’t say anything bad about it

12oz. Hard to say more than the epitome of an ipa. Aggressive hops but lots of sweet malt to balance. Sticky but not syrup. Not extreme, not perfect, but everything you could want.
