Jan 12, 2007 This is a very nice double IPA. It poured a burnt orange color. The flavor was of citric hops. I had it with thai food and it was great. The hops smoothly cleared the heat away.

Jan 10, 2007 Updated: Apr 10, 2007Bottled. Poured a nice mandarin orange color, not much of a head. The aroma is floral and of sweet malt. Now the killer, the Flavor! Whoa...this is outstanding! Very complex. I find a hint of mango, very balanced hops. This is a fantastic DIPA and I wish it was easier to find here in So Cal, I paid bucks for this one bottle.

Jan 9, 2007 Updated: Mar 6, 2007pours a dark cloudy orange with a one finger off white head. aroma is sweet malt with some orange hops and a little mango. medium body with descent lacing. aroma has a little bread and christmas cookie as well. flavor is of sweet malt, orange, and mango hops with a little carbonation. also has a little cane sugar aroma and flavor as well. little to sweet for me but a very nice bursting with flavor 2ipa. still not better than 3f’s dreadnaught. needs more aroma, head, and lacing for a perfect score. there is a little alcohol aroma as it warms, but pretty well hidden overall. hops comes through a little more as it warms as well.

Jan 7, 2007 A killer Double IPA. Not quite as pure and good as Dreadnaught, but about as close as it gets in the Midwest. I’ve had about 6 bottles the past month or two and I am still impressed by the brew. Goose Island, you rock.

Jan 5, 2007 Bottle. Pours an awesome looking hazy golden orange color with a huge rocky beige colored head, with some of the best lacing I’ve seen. Aroma is huge citrus, pine, malt, floral. Flavor is sweet, woody herbal pine, grapefruit, oranges, some malt, grass. Palate is full bodied, medium carbonation, sticky, smooth finish. This is some damn good stuff! Worth the $$$$. Elite level.

Jan 5, 2007 Updated: Dec 18, 2007Pours a ruby amber with minimal head. A beautiful smoky, malty and hoppy nose with an overall essence of molassas. The body is rich and creamy; really quite full. It’s quite malty on the palate with an intense burst of hops. Slightly citrusy; overall quite hoppy. The finish is thick and hoppy. Overall a wonderful double IPA... more than just hops... it’s got some character.
Re-Rate 12/17/2007 12oz bottle 207 vintage. Wonderfully bright, rich pine and citrus hops. Loads and loads of tangerine and apricot. Rich and oily on the palate bursting with fruit. This is one of the fruiter IIPA out there. Still bitter, balanced by caramel and toffee malt. Best drank fresh. And this fresh is outstanding.
Original rating 7/4/8/4 - 17 - 4.0

Jan 5, 2007 Orange/copper body, with an off-white head. Very nice lacing. Inviting, mild citrus (orange and grapefruit) and malt aroma. The flavor, however, threw me off a bit, because it reminded me of DayQuil (you know, the daytime cold relief syrup). I found it difficult to get past that thought, and that’s why my flavor rating is much lower than average for this beer -- sorry. Heavy, yet very smooth mouthfeel. Good carbonation.

Jan 5, 2007 slightly hazy orange body with a great white head that leaves great lacing. very floral hop aroma with fruity caramel undertones. bittersweet grapefruit/orange flavor. salted caramel finish. nice warm alcohol. great full bodied smooth creamy mouthfeel. solid very drinkable IIPA. nice but a bit pricey.
