Feb 25, 2006 Slightly hazy dark amber. Massive citric, piney aroma with crystal malt underpinning. Rich and chewy, with a piney, woody bitterness. Only a kiss of sweetness for balance. Has a unique toasty quality. Drinkable for the style.

Feb 16, 2006 Updated: Feb 27, 2006Draught at Toronado, San Francisco. Clear dark amber, small head. Strong citric hop aroma. Sweet with clean crystal malt profile, but this beer is dominated by massive hops that hides some sticky sweetness well. Really hoppy and megabitter. The hops makes me forget about it’s drawbacks and I find myself enjoying this beer tremendously.

Nov 12, 2005 Updated: Nov 13, 2005From the tap at the El Toro Brewery in Morgan Hill. Strong smell of hops, grapefruit and alcohol. Taste was very, very strong. Tasted of grapefruit and grapefruit pith. Long, long bitter aftertaste. Pretty good. Liked this better than the regular IPA.

Jul 18, 2005 Bottle poured a golden orange with an off white head. Aromas of pine and citrus. Palate is smooth but resiny. Flavor has a sweet malt backbone with flavors of grapefruit and a hint of oranges and pine. This beer has a nice long lasting bitter aftertaste.

May 2, 2005 Hop heads rejoice. This one has plenty of hops. Not really a doube IPA in my opinion, as it’s a bit thin and hoppy without quite enough malt balance. Still, I love hops and this one delivers plenty of them.
