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.

Sep 20, 2009 It poured a clear dark golden liquid. Had a smell of grassy hops, grape and citrus. High bitterness, grassyu hops, smooth, some bite to it. Very nice!

Sep 18, 2009 Every time I have this I find it to be pretty solid. Aroma is balanced. Lost of hops with caramel and grain. Good body and juicy hop flavor. Some caramel malts and citrus flavor. Grapefruit and lemon zest. Balanced.

Sep 14, 2009 The beer pours a medium golden color with an almost orange tint in the lights. The white head is adequate and seems to build from below. The aroma of this beer is almost all crisp hops up front and heavy. There is a bit of fruit and sweetness mixed in, but you really have to look for it to find it among the hops. The flavor is more complex than many overhopped IPAs. While there is definitely a strong hop content, there are also strong overtones of malt, toffee, molasses and raisons. Considering the high alcohol and the huge flavor this beer is still pretty easy to drink and feel relatively crisp in the mouth. This been is probably a bit strong to be an everyday drinking beer it is definitely a nice treat from time to time.

Sep 14, 2009 Bottle (in NZ). Pours a dark copper with a very large foamy yellowish head. Woody and fruity on the nose, some sweet toffee and a touch of bubblegum. A well balanced aroma for a DIPA. Not surprisingly, a big mouthfeel with bready malt. Again, the flavours are well balanced, I’m surprised by the floralness over the fruitiness. Very different to the West Coast IPAs, and better for it.

Sep 14, 2009 Can’t believe I haven’t tried this before now. Bottle poured into a snifter; dark orange with amber hints, and a huge fluffy white head that never went away (beer’s been gone for 30 minutes, actually, and the head’s still there). Nose is candied melon, blood orange, grapefruit, with freshly wettened pine needles on the back end. Tastes of ripe orange and pine; intensely floral, with massive hops. One of the most velvety mouthfeels on a IIPA I’ve ever tried. Absolutely marvelous.
