Feb 1, 2008 Thanks to hellbilly for this one. Pour is a cloudy rust color with a wispy white head. Aroma of citrus and resiny hops. Flavor is very sweet with moderate hop bitterness. A tad leathery tasting(?), but not dry. Medium to full bodied. decent brew.

Jan 30, 2008 Pours a brilliant clearish orange color. This beer just looks like hops. Sticky white head, laces the glass. Not too thick. Smells like flowers... Hop flowers baby. Sweet, sugary, caramelly, hop scents like none I have ever smelled before. Tastes of very green hops and fresh grass. A little earthy. Bitterness on the finish. Palate is thick yet smooth for such a large hoppy brew. I would like a bit more carbonation. One of the most different and interesting DiPA’s I have had in a long time. Big and tasty and high alcohol.

Jan 29, 2008 Updated: Feb 23, 200822 oz bottle from BevMo: Slightly hazy amber with medium, fading, bright white head. Nose is tropical fruit and caramel. Flavor starts rich and tropical fruit sweet with some citrus followed by a light, lingering orange rind bitter finish. Medium body is creamy with soft carbonation. Alcohol well hidden, but sneaks up on you fast.

Jan 26, 2008 I am confused as well. Is there another name for this. Nice grapefruit aroma. Very citrusy taste. You can taste some malt but it is way overcome by the hops. Very drinkable.

Jan 25, 2008 This confuses me because no one has rated this yet, but I am drinking a bottle of Left Coast Hop Juice. 9.6% ABV. Aroma of fresh grapefruit and orange juice. Hazy brownish orange. Thin head. Nice lacing. Hops, Hops, Hops! Some puckering bitterness comes through. Grapefruit, orange, tangerine, Light toasted malt. Some alcohol. Resiny. Chewy. Almost everything I look for in an IIPA. Not as good as Pliny, but damn good!
Re-rated after it warmed. Deducted 1 point overall because it is a little hot in terms of alcohol.

Jan 19, 2008 On tap at Oggi’s Scottsdale. Clear darker yellow/light amber color with creamy white head. Decent lacing on the glass. Great hops in this one with a citrus and grapefruit aroma. Clean and crisp finish with a huge hoppy aftertaste.

Jan 19, 2008 Small white head that thins out quickly with a smidgen of spotty lace. Hazy, orange color. Nose of citrus and crystal malts, mostly subdued. Medium bodied, lightly oily with sub par carbonation. Crystal malts up front with notes of teabag, light citrus and some breadyness. Fairly dry finish, some mint notes. Hmmmmmm, where,s the hops not to mention the juice?? An old bottle? was expecting a bit more from this one. Bomber acquired from SDbruboy, thanks Cliff!
