It is my favorite beer It won the 2003 Alpha King Challenge a competition to find the hoppiest most balanced beer. Which is the competition for "Hop Heads" So balanced, clean, flavorful and drinkable. Pungent sweet hoppy aroma with toasty caramel notes. Clear shimmering medium amber very enticing. Flavor is perfect. Bitter, piney, sweet caramel malty. Seek out and find this beer you will not be sorry. If you want to grab this beer on tap with me send me an email.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jan 17, 2009 Tap. Hazy nutmeg color with beautifully-laced head. Nose is floral and citrusy. Taste is delicious with a great malt/hop balance. It’s like eating my favoriate breakfast cereal and drinking my favorite beer at the same time. Palate is malt that transitions into an admirable malt hoppiness. drawde (115), San Francisco, California, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 27, 2009 Draft @ Toronado, SF. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a small white head. Has a malty hoppy bitter piney aroma with some hints of citrus. Malty hoppy bitter pine needles flavor. Has a long bitter hoppy finish with a long bitter aftertaste. Awesome!!

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Apr 26, 2008 A- Golden in color with a small eggshell head that fades and leaves a little lacing.
S- Smells extremely hoppy. Grainy pine scents dominate the nose.
T- Piney hops are prevalent from start to finish with a bitter kick. Grainy bready taste masked beneath the hops.
M- Thick and chunky with a blast of carbonation that compliments the hoppy bitterness perfectly.
D- Definitely a sipper but certainly very drinkable for a double ipa.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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.
