Jul 10, 2009 Sampled at Cellars Wine & Spirits in Shorewood via distributor’s sampler pack. Pours a semi-hazy orange amber colored brew with a thick off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring and excellent lacing. Aroma of mostly tangerine and grapefruit zest, a hint of caramel malt and a touch of tropical fruit. Taste is full bodied, a touch of white pepper with grapefruit and tangerine zest. Finish is semi-sweet with a strong tropical fruit than citrus aftertaste that is common to most other DIPAs. Alcohol is well hidden.

Jul 9, 2009 In the box from snojerk. Pour is murky and a dark red color. Sweetness in the aroma with some citrus and pine. The citrus is mostly grapefruit. A really fruity flavor at first. It surprised me a bit how much meaty citrus I got there. The finish is sticky pine and just a touch of fusel alcohol in there to remind you you are consuming alcohol.

Jul 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very pretty orange color with a thick beige head. Pine, resin, and grapefruit are all present in the nose. Taste isn’t as bold as the great color and aroma. Slight citrus with a mild malt body that fades into strong bitter hops. Good but needs balance. The flavors improve after the beer warms and opens up in the glass.

Jul 8, 2009 Bottle pours a hazy golden orange with a thin white head. Aroma is primarily tangerines and toffee with a slight grapefruit/orange kick. The pine is there, but not overly present. The flavor starts off sweet with a lot of mellow citrus, pineapple, and light carmel but finishes on a bitter pink grapefruit note. All in all a pleasant drinking dipa which covers it’s alc well, but nothing too spectacular outside of that respect.

Jul 7, 2009 Great hoppy floral aroma that isn’t over bittered. The flavor is also excellent. Strong hop bitterness, bot in a good way. I enjoyed this beer and am surprised by the relatively low style score.

Jul 7, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden hue with a frothy slight off white head. Aromas of grapefruit, pine, citrus with a hint of sweetness. Mouth feel is medium bodied with a lingering finish. A little more full bodied and sweet for the style. Flavors of bubblegum, pineapple, a touch of orange peel, and again, a touch of caramel sweetness. A very mild bitterness, again for the style. Very one dimensional. Very disappointing.

Jul 2, 2009 Bottle with a nod to Wavers1. Pours like motor oil, but the color of a bad morning with the flu. Aroma isnt real heavy, but has some malt, citrus and pine notes. Taste is better though, a little resinous, some grapefruit flavored band-aids, some honey, and a noticeable alcohol bite. Could be better.
