emerica56 (481), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Jul 31, 2007 This beer poured a impressive head and the retention was also great. The smell was of citrus and strong hops. As you drink it there was a nice coffee roasted malt flavor with a really good after taste the stuck arround for a while. This beerwas extramly refreshing it is one of the best double IPA’s. They also do a good job hideing the booze.
PhillyBeer2112 (1861), Orange Park, Florida, USA Oct 9, 2008 Big resiny hop nose. A little body odor. Malts are hard to come by - a little sugar caramel. Sugary flavors with resiny hops. Long resiny bitter finish. Very bitter. Copper color. LilBeerDoctor (637), East Setauket, New York, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with a small white, foamy head. Aroma of bitter grassy, garlicy hops and bitter grapefruit. Flavor is super bitter and a little too bitter for my tastes (even as a hop lover). The hop profile is a little off too. Not a fan of this one. fredandboboflo (629), East Setauket, New York, USA Oct 7, 2008 Updated: Oct 8, 2008Bottle. Wow. Bottled grapefruit. Dead on grapefruit bitterness. Having a beer like this makes me realize how often I too loosely use grapefruit as a descriptor. This is the real deal. I’m sort of indifferent to grapefruit as a fruit, but here in beer form it tastes luscious to me. Quite a fluffy mouthfeel for a massive 9.2% IPA. And that’s all I got. SuperDave70 (822), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 27, 2008 Pours a nice cloudy copper color with a creamy, glass-sticking head. Big pine and grapefruit hop aroma, with a touch of toasty caramel malt fighting through at times. Flavor follows the aroma, huge bitter grapefruit and pine flavors don’t even try to be balanced by the slightly sweet malt undertones. Thick and lingering on the palate, with a big bitter finish. Seriously tasty! lordeche (336), Bridgewater, Massachusetts, USA Sep 25, 2008 Pours a beautiful hazy copper color with thick white head. Aroma is a great combination of citrus hops and caramel malts- almost a tropical fruit note with a combination of pineapple and toasted coconut. Flavor consists of tart citrus up front, herbal notes, some residual sugars, caramel, and toasted malts. Palate isn’t too sticky, either. Very nice.
