Jan 31, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a medium head of fair duration, with heavy lacing, over a slightly cloudy dark golden body......nose redolent of pine, resin, grapefruit, bit of bread.......tastes initially of very high malts then comes in balancing hops, grapefruit finish, linigering but not overly heavy bitterness....mouthfeel is heavy and chewy. It really isn’t a double IPA, more like a barley wine. Excellent balance given the amount of hop and malt that must have been used. I do like Rate Beers appellation of American Strong.

Jan 31, 2009 A hazy dark amber colored beer, with a thick beige head. The aroma of hop, hop and more hop. There are fruits like citrus and orange, some sweets in the back. The taste is hop bitter, some caramel, fruits like grapes. Sweets in the back. The after taste is bitter with some sweet and a little grassy.

Jan 30, 2009 Amber colored with a generous head. Nice hop smell. Nice strong and dark. Hoppy and bitter in the taste. Gets better and better as it gets closer to the bottom of the glass.

Jan 30, 2009 This has got to be about as good as it gets from Flying dog! Great candy sweet and floral aroma, lots of good hops. Plenty of hoppy flavor very piney. Not much head or lace but the flavor lets us forgive this I suppose. Preeeeeettty tasty.

Jan 30, 2009 Deep amber pour with a nice one finger head. Strong malt aroma other than that not much there. but the flavor is an ass kicker! Strong malt, raison, figs and a touch of sweetness and hops! Almost has an DIPA character to it. The alcohol is there but it still drinkable. I like this alot!

Jan 30, 2009 Updated: Feb 7, 2009EAST COAST IPA’S RULE!!! This is the beer i’ve been looking for all my life. It tastes almost identical to Southern Tier UnEarthly, but has a slightly higher ABV and is much cheaper. 4x12oz for $10. At 11.5% alc, this beer is no joke. Extreme hop taste, balanced with a strong malt backbone. Long, bitter finish. Slight alcohol warming. Bitter. This is a great beer, one of the best i’ve ever had. And it’s price point makes it my favorite. Top notch. Bravo.

Jan 29, 2009 12 oz bottle @ Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Slightly cloudy amber color, lasting off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma with blackcurrant leaves. Full flavor with a huge hop hit, some grapefruit, alcohol and syrupy malts and a long, long bitter finish. Full body, medium carbonation. Quite a long distance from "quaffable".

Jan 28, 2009 Hopheads rejoice. I was worried when I saw the 11.5%, but it didn’t hit me until I stood up. Nice fruity nose. Piney notes abound and maybe some toffe malt slips through to join the party.
