Dec 25, 2009 Golden pour with a thin white head. The nose is quite hoppy with lots of pine as well as a fairly fruity estery yeast profile that is fairly unusual. A touch berryish and sweet with a little bit of peppery ethanol over the top. It’s fairly sweet although it doesn’t seem sticky. Fairly fresh tasting although I think it could be substantially hoppier. The pine seems to intensify quite a bit as it warms up. It’s nice enough, but it lacks the punchiness that it needs to really stand out.

Dec 17, 2009 12 oz bottle from Bier Stein. Poured a deep amber with a thick white head and sticky lacing. Aroma of citrus hops, light caramel malt and some booziness. Tastes like citrus, booze, caramel. Pretty typical DIPA, nothing really jumps out at you from this one.

Dec 15, 2009 Pours a dark copper color with white head. Aroma is of sweet caramel malt and citrus fruit. Medium bodied. Taste is sweet citrus fruit and malt, could have definitely used more hops for a Double IPA.

Dec 11, 2009 bottle, pours hazy orange with a medium off white head. Aroma is all floral and citrus hops, and it’s very nice. Nice sweet malt and candy sugar balanced with a nice grapefruit hop finish that ends mild and dry. Nice and drinkable DIPA!

Dec 7, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy copper color with a large frothy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of sticky citrus hops with a tropical and herbal finish. Taste is bitter citrus hops along with mango, melon and a resiny finish. Smooth, medium bodied. The bitterness lingers at the front of the tongue. Good beer.

Nov 26, 2009 Bottle into a pint glass. Mild aroma, hint of citrus. Pours cloudy orange, with small head and not much lacing. For a double IPA, it is not as hoppy as I thought it would be. Really nice feel in the mouth and well balanced mix of hops and malty finish. Really liked this one.

Nov 12, 2009 12 oz bottle - pours an opaque orange with very little head - very minimal lacing - a boatload of particles floating throughout the brew that gradually stetle at the bottom - Citrus hops in the aroma - Bitter on the palate but the malts balance it out very nicely - overall this a very nice brew!

Nov 9, 2009 This has the same honeyed malt character you find in Anderson Valley Pal Ale and IPA. Thick and malty, really chewy, for the style. Hops are there in abundance, but it was the malt that was most memorable.
