kingalbertstl (3), Missouri, USA does not count Jul 18, 2009 big fan of IIPA...had a big sky IPA last night and it feel a little flat for me...today tried the great divide and found what i was looking for...smooth and creamy with tons of hops and malty goodness...grade A quality stuff.. direwolf9 (29), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 16, 2009 I’m not the biggest fan of hoppy beers and this one definitely is very strong in the hops department. However, it manages to balace out some as it gets slightly warmer. Not a bad double IPA. If you are a fan of hops you will love this beer. BeerGuyTWMore (48), USA Jul 14, 2009 Pours copper orange with off white thick froathy head;laces fairly well. Aromas of floral-citrus hops some malt. This is probably the most balanced DIPA I’ve come across - lots of bitter hop, some then sugar up front, strong hop with malty backbone. Excellent!! BellsFan (47), Michigan, USA Jul 14, 2009 Orange/amber color with an off white head that fades leaving nice lacing. Big hop nose - pine, citrus, grapefruit. Fairly malty flavor gives way to the on rush of more hops. Long lingering bitter finish. Alcohol noticeable but not overly so. Excellent.
OleR (2008), Oslo, Norway Jul 13, 2009 Bottle@Olympen, Oslo. A thick, stable offwhite head over a hazy, amber-brown colored body. Intense hop aroma, citrus, tropical and resin, supported by a sweeitish caramel scent. Full malt body, quite grainy and fairly sweet, with a generous amount of fruity and piny hops. Thick oily mouthfeel. Nearly full-bodied. Everlasting fruity bitter ending. Very potent, well balanced, and highly enjoyable. mrhoppy (209), Santa Clara, California, USA Jul 11, 2009 This review is from a while back and from my declining memory. It was a run of the mill double. Not bad and not great. If no other doubles were available you would be very happy with this beer. demdeac40 (238), Etowah, North Carolina, USA Jul 10, 2009 Pours a beautiful deep orange color with a huge, fluffy off white head. Great looking pour. The nose is sweet citrus and strong pine with definite floral notes lingering around. Then, it gets too big for me. Huge burst of piney hops and big bitterness. Does have enough malt to balance but too much hop for me. Beautifully done beer but not my style. Ygberg (82), Sweden Jul 9, 2009 Updated: Sep 29, 2009The aroma is fantastic. It´s very fresh and of citrus, toffe and caramel. The appearance is wonderful with a red colour. The taste is heavy and bitter, fruity and dry. This is a very, very good beer.
