Jun 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a thick off-white head that laces the glass. Aroma was mostly hoppy with fresh pine trees, citrus, grapefruit and some grass. Flavor was sharply bitter with piney resin, grapefruit, citrus, orange and light caramel with a medium body and has a dry and bitter finish.

Jun 3, 2009 Nicely crafted IIPA. The aroma is earthy hops, some fruityness. the appearance is an attracive red/gold hazy color, white head. The flavor is crazy, citrusy, lemony, bready-like and malty. Very nice. Clear distinction between the aromatic hops, and the hops used to flavor the beer. Finish has a sweet residue on the palate, but is dominated by a grapefruit citrus flavor, which is enduring. Medium mouthfeel. Very nice IIPA.

Jun 2, 2009 Bomber into pint glass. Pours a clear golden orange with a thin-medium size white head which lasts. Golden raisins, grapefruit, pineapple, honey in the aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, apricot, pineapple, and grapefruit hop profile. NIce and smooth at the finish. An interesting IIPA - different than most.

May 27, 2009 Tried this from a cask at Rattle’n’Hum. Fine herbal and floral aroma. Pretty dry flavor, but floral too, can taste grapefruity hops and malt. The bitterness brings it close to the edge. It is a little harsh, but still very good.

May 24, 2009 On tap at the brewery in Vista. Pours a clear, darker golden body with a finger-width, dense, off-white head that dissipates slowly and remains nicely laced. Aroma of piney citrus and sweet floral hops. Not quite as intense as I was expecting, but abundant. Flavor is resiny and oily pines along with more floral citrus. Some caramels come in to balance this out before a dry, semi-long grassy finish. Palate is light to medium bodied and pretty slick and oily. Overall, a solid DIPA that doesn’t really scream "over the top," but rather seems to focus on its balance. Tasty.

May 17, 2009 Intense hops indeed. A very piney hop aroma gives way to a flavor that is similar, very resiny and piney, with great citrus character too. The bitterness isn’t as perceivable as the actual flavors that usually accompany it. This is a really nice IPA.
