Aug 4, 2009 Shared with Uncle Steve, Our Beer Pimp Brian, the Nortorius Celticbrew, and the infamous Drbayern.
Pours a light yellow with no head and a light lacing on the edge. There is a light hoppy citrusy aroma. The hop flavor is intense yet well balanced. Very nice hop bittering on the back end.

Aug 3, 2009 (bottle) very slightly hazy amber with off white head and nice lace. Aroma of pine and orange. Flavor is resiny pine and citrus hops with enough malt for at least some balance. Resiny pine hops aftertaste. Great for the hop head.

Aug 2, 2009 22oz. Bottle. Rusty orange color with a minimal but nicely lacing head. Complex and hoppy aroma with some grapefruit, orange and strong fresh pine notes. A touch of malty sweetness at the front that is followed by copious quantities of hops. Some grassy flavors that quickly fade into a bitter sledgehammer. Serious alpha acid written all over the flavor profile here. This one alternates between stimulating and decimating your palate. Carbonation level is just right and the beer has the sticky and resinous texture expected for the style. The lingering bitterness on the back end of this is no joke.

Jul 30, 2009 an absolute explosion of powerful and pungent hops that make your mouth feel like a recepticle of hops. a nice and powerful hopppy beer with hints of pine, grapefruit, tangerines and more that lead into a great and long finish. a must for any person who wants to be smashed over the head with hops

Jul 28, 2009 Poured from bomber...deep orange/brown color with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is nice and somewhat balanced...piney and citrus hops are definitely here...had a hard time catching the floral notes others note because of the robust nature of the strong pine and citrus notes. Flavor screams west-coast...strong and bitter hops throughout, and the slightest bit of a malt backbone...there must be a ridiculous amount of hops in here to have 9.2% and be so off-balance to the hops side. This being said, it was a good, bitter brew that kept me coming back for another drink. Lots of grapefruit, orange, pine, and some caramel malts. Oily on the palate with a very bitter finish. Like a bit more balance to my IIPAs, though this was still enjoyable.

Jul 27, 2009 On tap at the brewpub on 6/30/09. Pours golden orange, cream head. Incredible hoppy aroma, exactly what I want out of a west coast IIPA with floral and citrus dominating. Nice flavor with nothing up front, and then a very very slow bitterness building on the palate. Great IIPA.
