Jul 28, 2009 Aroma is strongly hoppy with a firm overtone of fruit, mostly apple. It pours a clear, appetizing golden amber with a decent but not persistent white head. Flavor has a fierce but not overwhelming hop bitterness and has hints of fruit, malt and even butterscotch. Texture is glassy smooth with a good sharp hoppy-bitter edge. Overall pretty good.

Jul 27, 2009 2009-07-26. Crisp orange body with a modest off-white head. (3+) Pleasant hoppy aroma, sweet floral and fruity hops. (7+) Flavour is a rather nice blend of sweet and bitter citrusy hops, mild malt base is supportive by not a major player. Touch of lemon comes out strongly after have a nip of cheese. Rather lovely. Smooth average plus palate. (3+) Very drinkable. Bottle from Premier Gourmet

Jul 26, 2009 Enjoyed via draft in a pub glass. The beer pours a medium to slightly light-golden color with a white head. A perceptible, but refined, aroma of Columbus hops comes through in the nose, along with moderate malt aromas. The palate is a melange of hop bitterness and flavor up front, malty characters in the middle, and a bit of depth added by alcohol toward the finish. A very well-executed double IPA.

Jul 26, 2009 Impressive large head that settles into a frothy dome. Lots of chunky and spotty lace. The liquid is hazy with an orange-amber color
Muted hop aroma of grapefruit citrus. Initially, I noted a slight plastic smell.
Strong bitter finish that lasts a long time after the swallow. The alcohol is notable but not overwhelming. Creamy mouthfeel--low carbonation.

Jul 26, 2009 Updated: Jul 28, 2009Wow, that’s good. Orange-tinted gold in color. Adequate carbonation maintains a thin film, white head. Hoppy aroma smells like citrus, pine, mildly sweet, floral bouquet. Palate is really, really bitter, and a little dry. Texture is a light syrup. Aftertaste is sweet and hoppy.

Jul 26, 2009 Leviathan is an apt name: this beer is a powerhouse. The high alcohol content and robust flavor make this a beer for the strong-willed.
