(12oz bottle, thanks ryan) Small off-white head atop lightly hazed amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, pineapple/grapefruit caramel. Taste is moderately sweet, hop oil. Hop burp far better than the flavor itself. Medium-full body

On tap at the Kuhnhenn Brew Pub. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of floral green hops, some skunky weed, citrus, and some caramel. Tastes of citrus, toasted caramel, and lighter floralness. Some spicy ending. Sweet begging with a lighter bitter finish. Light alcohol in the finish.

Objectively speaking: Very intense IPA with a sharp bitterness.
I like: Intense, nostril-grasping aroma of pure resin and wild citrus, borderline exotic fruits. Long finish. rather complex hop profile, very fruity and undoubtedly American.
I dislike: I must say I found the DR IPA much more approachable. Alcohol a bit obvious for a Kuhnhenn. Rather sugary malt base with generic caramel taking a lot of room, though producing a heavy body. Seems that what I tasted varied a fair bit from other tasters.

Bottle (2008)… Clear amber ale with an orange tint and a mid-sized, frothy, off-white head. Fantastic retention. The earthy, musky aroma is very lupulin-forward. I have no idea what blend of bittering and aromatic hops are used here, but I’m pulling notes of pine, cat pee and damp fallen wood. Full-bodied with stinging carbonation. Pretty well-balanced, although it does lean lightly toward the bitter side. Caramel and toffee sweetness is offset by earthy bitterness. Restrained tartness. Lengthy, bittersweet, mildly acidic finish.

Dec 08 bottle shared by ryan on 1/10/09: Pours a transparent copper amber with a well-lacing frothy light tan head. Aroma of big fresh resiny grapefruity hops and a nice pale malty sweetness. Starts with a juicy piny citrus hop jolt and good sweet malty balance before a crisp bittersweet finish. A nice double IPA.

Draft sample at MBGF07. Poured a hazy copper color with an average fizzy off-white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Heavy hoppy citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Moderate hoppy citrus flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration with a small alcohol bite. Good brew.

Poured a murky amber with a nice sized off-white head. Big sweaty citrus pine hops dominate the aroma. The flavor is a mix of grapefruit and caramel. Hops run through the finish with a light bitterness. Very warming in the chest, especially for the ABV. Medium bodied. Tasty stuff.
