Bottle courtesy of TomDecapolis, thanks! Pour a clear copper color with a very thin head. Amazing aroma of fruity (pineapple, mango, papaya) and piney hops accompanied by malt. Superb flavor of fruity (again, pineapple, mango and papaya) and piney hops with a decent malt backbone and a dry, bitter finish. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and moderate carbonation. This is an awesome IIPA, the tropical fruits provided by the hops remind me of Dreadnaught, I love Midnight Sun!

Jun 16, 2008 [Bottle] shared by Skyview. Burnt caramel pour with a moderate tan head. Aroma is pine resin, citric hops, and a pretty good malt backbone. Flavor matches aroma. One of the better balanced DIPA’s I’ve had.

May 30, 2008 Received a 22-oz bomber from Liquidsolutions.biz and shared with the Minnesota gang at the Heritage Liquors Inauguration beer tasting in Maplewood, Minnesota. Pours a semi-clear copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates toa fine film and no ring. Aroma of sweet and fruity caramel malt, grapefruit, citrus zest, a touch of lime, and some tropical fruit. Taste is mildly bitter, medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of light caramel malt with some tropical fruit, grapefruit and a touch of pine. Finish is typical double IPA bitterness that lingers a little after the finish.
