Dec 26, 2008 Pour from a 22 oz. bomber revealed a clear golden copper hue on top of a nice white topper. Fragrant citrus of orange, tangerine, and malt. Medium to full body. Flavor of out there hop bitterness with a perfect balance of malty sweet goodness. Finish is pretty hoppy and dry. Great beer for sure.

Dec 19, 2008 Bottle. Orange appearance and pourued
with a big head. Hops are present but not so many as I had expected. Smooth and easy to drink with more bitterness that this class of beer usually displays.
Excellent.

Dec 15, 2008 12oz in bordeaux glass. Pours copper with lasting off-white head. Lots of chunky hop bits, otherwise merely foggy. Warm, malty nose, barely any hops per style, more AAA than IIPA. Appreciable malt structure with plenty of toasty character and some caramel. Late-hop character is virtually lost. SO NOT a IIPA, but a good beer.

Dec 14, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours an extremely clear burnt orange body with a finger-width, very creamy and frothy, beige head. Dissipates slowly and remains nicely laced and swirly. Straightforward aroma of medium floral hops, sweet malts, and a light amount of toasted caramel. More melony than citrus and not very piney. Flavor is sweet and has a quick bite in the beginning. The middle is toasted caramel before ending with a piney and floral bitterness. The piney hops are much more evident in the taste. Some dried fruit tastes. Grows more and more bitter as the flavor develops. Medium bodied, slightly oily, little bit of carbonation, dry and toasty finish. Warming in the finish as well. Overall, a very solid, straightforward beer. Not the aggressive DIPA that I was expecting, but a nicely balanced beer. I enjoy the toasted caramel a lot.

Dec 6, 2008 Shared with Pyrozoid. Murky dark orange poor with a frothy off-white head with good lacing. Aromas of caramel, toffee, grapefruit and orange zest, vanilla, pine and slightly floral. WOW!... Amazing powerfull mouthfeel, great balance, long lasting bitter profile and aftertaste and a big creamy body and dry finish. Hoppy profile is not as aggressive as i might of thought... Top notch DIPA... #1 DIPA.
