Jun 18, 2009 Thanks kiefdog for sharing the growler. Very enjoyable IIPA. Pours a transparent amber with a white head. Nose is lots of caramel malt with a piney curtain over the peach and citrus notes. Flavor is very piney with big malt backbone. Overall a ton of malt and a balanced pine and citrus attack. Very enjoyable.

May 1, 2009 On tap at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham. Pours dark orange with a creamy white head. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit, and fresh cut grass. Well balanced taste of pine and grapefruit with a malt sweetness. An excellent DIPA; I only wished they bottled this so that I could have it more often.

Mar 22, 2009 on tap at Tylers Taproom in Durham, NC on 3/21/09. massive hop bomb.... dark golden color with average white head... pleasant citrus hops on the nose... big body loaded with hops ranging from citrus to pine. Seeing Double IPA is a full force IIPA that isn’t afraid to throw the hops at you, however, it is not too overwhelming and is quite balanced considering.

Mar 20, 2009 EBF Session 1. Lightly hazy, orange in color with a lasting head. Aroma of fresh citrus, a touch of tropical fruit and a moderate amount of pine. Taste has alot of grapefruit, tropical fruit, and pine over a medium to full bodied malt backbone. Finishes with a nice lingering bitterness. I really enjoyed this one.

Mar 18, 2009 Poured from a growler procured by DoBoy at Foothills yesterday. Clear coppery brown body under a medium, creamy, yellowish beige head, decent lace. Spruce and grapefruit skin up front in the aroma, dark toffee and a hint of fruitiness follow. Smooth and slightly viscous, medium to full body and light carbonation, resinous. Lots of malty sweetness that needs the abundance of peppery hop bitterness that builds quickly. Finishes dry with a lingering tangy grapefruit zest. A solid DIPA with lots of character.

Mar 18, 2009 Growler compliments of doboy (thanks Ed!!!), shared with DrBayern and Steve @ Priscella’s in MHC. Poured from growler a nice medium dark amber, forming decent of beige foamy head. Aroma strong of hops, malts, grass, resins. Flavour much of the same, well balanced beer. Pines hammer thru, malts come in the end to balance out this wonderful ale. Citrus and pine resins dominate as malt come in and say "hi". Tremendous DIPA, made right here in NC. Simply lovely.
