Damn that sucker is bitter. Bitter like a grapefruit is because you know how grapefruits can be bitter but you know that it is fruit and has natural sugars and stuff so it has also kind of sweet. Its got a decent malt background but not so much that it feels heavy. We have a winner here. AgentSteve (1378), SF Bay Area, California, USA

The flavor was malt with slight caramel, but overly done, soapy pine tree. Oily mouthfeel. Quite a bitter finish. JCapriotti (1378), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

Outright hoppy nose. Sticks out a bit more than the "normal" double.
Very sweetly hoppy taste. Citrus, grass, caramel. Good strong California IIPA.

Bitter aftertaste is long and signifcant. This is truly one of the most bitter beers I’ve had. Wonder how many IBUs this puppy is. diabel (1372), Aarschot, Belgium

Aroma of alpha hops (amarillo, cascade) delivering a great complexity. Harshly bitter (hops) 16flavour. Good complexity. Very well balanced. Even not very 1 dimensional on the hops.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Orange pour with a sticky white head. Aroma is like getting punched in the face by a hop monster. Mostly citrus and pine, but some sweet malt there. It stays in the back and never gets too sweet -- I like that. Oily mouth feel with a bitter pine finish. Great, great beer.
