Aug 14, 2008 Updated: Oct 1, 2008No. I love hops as much as the next guy, but this was insane. No balance at all. Just astringent, bitter hops. Needs some balance. Their double IPA is a far superior beer.
Re-Rate: Man, this second bottle was what I was expecting in the first place. HUGE hops, but this time seemed a lot more balanced. Still uber-hoppy, but the malt played a bigger role in the beer. Much, much better.

Aug 12, 2008 This is the hoppiest out there but not the best. Pours golden brown with some sediment. Hops are overwhelming in the aroma. flavor is hops, bitterness, and more hops. This is a hop bomb. This is good, ut wouldn’t want to drink it on a regular basis. Give me Elder, Dreadnaught, and Hopslam

Aug 11, 2008 Pours a very hazy orange with a good size white head. Very floral aroma with a good deal of citrus too. Pretty heavy on the nose.
Tastes similar- lots of hop bite up front- grapefruit mostly and some grassy flavor too. Nice finish - sweet with a bit of candy flavor malt to finish. Very fgood DIPA- which I have had a bunch of lately. I like the aroma and the fact it is not too malty- yet not just a hop bomb either.

Aug 4, 2008 [1287-20080411] 1pt6floz bottle. Super citrus grainy hops aroma. Slightly hazy, amber orange body with a quick off-white head. Bitter woodsy logs seeped in aged grapefruit sap. Bitter bitter medium-full body. Wow! Hoppy.

Aug 4, 2008 Super hoppy. Not for the faint of heart. Good fresh flavor. 9.2% Alcohol isn’t noticeable at all. Very smooth for such a big sucker.

Aug 1, 2008 Poured a bright orange/yellow color. Huge citrus and pine in the nose. And, upon first taste, this tasted like a hopsickle popsickle. Whatever that means. All I know is that there wasn’t much malt here, just glorious amounts of hops. I think I was picking hops out of my teeth. Perfect for an 80 degree day standing in line for beer. Yum.

Jul 28, 2008 Beautiful pour. Aroma of pine hops and some malt. Pine hops predominate on the tongue. Some caramel malt flavor.

Jul 26, 2008 Amber with a good sized head. Aroma is of hops and perfume. Taste is very hoppy with grass and a caramel finish.Pleasant hop aftertaste mellows to that of toffee.
