joeneugs (282), Livermore, California, USA Oct 3, 2009 Pours orange with an orange head. Very fruity aroma with peach, mango, and orange. Flavor is nicely malty and extremely bitter with caramel and melon rind. Very thick bodied. A super potent double IPA. GV (16), , Netherlands Sep 28, 2009 Dark amber color. Malty and toffee aroma with hint of hops. Aroma reminds a bit of Rogue Dead Guy Ale, but with less pronounced hops.
Flavour starts with hops and then there is tofee and caramel fighting with the alcohol and hop bitterness. At the end the hop biterness wins. Tasty!
Ps. It does give that oily/sticky/heavy feeling which usualy exists in high alcohol beers (except Belgian strong ales), but this one is well balanced and not toooo heavy. tokyogoat (505), San Diego, California, USA Sep 27, 2009 Pours a golden copper with a metric shit ton of sea monkeys floating around in it.
Aroma is big on pine hops, earthy, floral, pine, but also a nice caramel scent.
Flavor is very hop forward, strong but clean hop bitterness, nice oily pine hop resin flavors, not balanced, but supported with a nice sweet caramel back.
Easily the best non CA DIPA I have had yet. thirdeye11 (403), Texas, USA Sep 26, 2009 ( 22oz bomber) pours clear orange with decent head and creamy lacing. Nose is bready, yeast, and no detectable alcohol presence. Taste of grapefruit resins, balanced nicely with sweet citrus. No bad lingers here. Nicely thick body. Almost nothing wrong with this one! MmmcKay (269), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Sep 26, 2009 Smells like a dry hop. Big malt presence as well on the nose. Malty as hell on the palette. Dry resiny hops don’t kick in full force until the finish. I’ll give it a few extra points for its unique maltiness. Don’
t see that often in an IPA. Pretty damn good. sirpsycho (342), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy copper, small off-white head that settles down rather quickly. Lots of sweet citrus notes and hops in the aroma. Sweet hops, citrus and malt dominate the flavor profile, with caramel showing it’s presence in a subtle way. The finish is a long and satisfying dry bitterness. Weedking4 (33), Stratford, Ontario, Canada Sep 25, 2009 22oz bomber. Poured a orange/golden clear. My bottle said it was 10.1% and you couldn’t taste any alc% at all. Very damn tasty, and easy to drink. Very fucking solid beer. dand645 (62), Bayonne, New Jersey, USA Sep 24, 2009 golden pour, white head...hops, hops, hops, and more hops...did I mention it has a bit of hop bitterness, over the top fresh, crisp, grassy hops
