stevec (19), Galena, Illinois, USA
Apr 24, 2008 Pours hazy honey colored with a medium head. Lacing apears after first sip. Nose is full of fruit and very impressive. Nice hop bitterness but lacks the sweetness I typically associate with double IPA’s. Needs more malt backbone but still a tasty brew.

does not count  Apr 21, 2008 This beer is a wonderful, slightly red, copper color. You can smell everything that went into making this fine brew. (Although I haven’t learned to identify everything yet.) A little bitter, but still one of the tastiest beers I’ve ever had.

Apr 21, 2008 22 fl oz bottle. Pours deep golden orange with a lacing off-white head. Pineapple and caramel malt aroma, light citrusy note. Flavour is fruity with light peach and pineapple notes, dry wooden touch and a breadish malt base. Dry bitter and yet light sweet fruity finish. Goes really dry in the far finish.
illidurit (851), Santa Cruz, California, USA
Apr 21, 2008 Poured into a pint glass. Translucent amber color with a bubbly beige one-finger head. Tons of lacing and decent retention.
Aroma is of fresh-cut pineapple and rich caramel.
Flavor is initially sweet with caramel, but then hops trample the palate, citrusy and grassy with a lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel is just about all you can ask for in a double IPA: rich but not too sticky, no alcohol taste. Pretty drinkable for 9.1%

The Etruscan (304), Tuscany, Italy
Apr 19, 2008 Off white medium lasting head. Dark amber-copper colour. Aroma is malty, fruity (peaches and apricots) with strong floral notes and light wooden accent. Flavor is malty with fruity and light caramel and nutty tones, ending in a dry wooden finish. Medium bodied.

Apr 18, 2008 Updated: Apr 19, 2008Pours reddish clear amber a lovely creamy off-white froth on top. Quality double IPA aroma of fresh hops, piney, pineapple, sweet citrus and sweet malt. First taste is slightly salty and pretty bitter. 85 IBU’s and I believe it. A little bit nutty and woody, not terribly sweet either. The bitter floral hop flavor is much more dominant than citrus. Some alcohol and pineapple in the finish, hot. Fluffy body, not sticky, actually somewhat light. A great double IPA... but no dreadnought =)
