Jan 4, 2008 Poured a slightly hazy amber orange color body with a big, sticky, off-white head. The aroma is sweet pine and oranges with some carmel. Flavor has the same hop profile as the regular IPA with a much bigger malt backbone. Seemed a little off balance in the wrong direction, a little too malty.

Jan 2, 2008 This is more of on the lines of what im looking for in an IIPA. Copper color with a big smack of hops and pine. Flavor was the same with a grassy citrus finish to it. the aftertaste hung around as well. Outstanding brew.

Jan 1, 2008 Bottle from Daniel, thanks. One I have wanted to try for a long time, and the other night I finally got to try it. Pours out an orange / yellow color with a white head on it. Sweet hoppy smell full of pine and grassy and plenty of citrus. The taste is mostly hops, balanced very well, fresh tasting. Not overly bitter, but a very nice double ipa which one could easily session. This beer would probably not be very good with age, so thank god this one was fresh. No alcohol detected, just a nice west coast IPA. Thanks.

Dec 31, 2007 Updated: May 23, 2008This is a perfect example of the PERFECT West Coast IIPA. The hops balance, better than any other IIPA, the malt adds sweetness to the hops and the result is a perfectly balanced, high alcohol IPA that can be taken in session if you’re looking to push the envelope...a lot! This stuff pours a nice carmel golden amber, with minimal white head. Lacing present, but not too much. Flavor is a mellow, yet very hopped and graciously malted golden flavor.

Dec 28, 2007 Poured a light orange color with good head and okay lacing. ARoma was pine and citrus and wet dog. Flavor was much the same lots of fruit light ones in the flavor. good beer minus the wet dog.

Dec 26, 2007 22 oz bomber. Pours a cloudy amber with a 1/2 inch off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma of citrus - orange, I think - as well as pine. Flavor was orange and pine. Mouthfeel was medium and creamy with a good bitter aftertaste. Nice IIPA.

Dec 23, 2007 Thanks to riversideAK for this beer. 22oz bomber. Pours a light gold with a weak frothy head. The aroma is strong; a fierce hoppy/pine aroma that stands out. The taste is a strong hop presence; full of pine and citrus. There is also a great floral and malt presence. Really well made and enjoyable. 101 IBU but also really easy to drink. 9% no way, the alcohol is not noticable. Great!
