Wow quite a hoppy beer. For a IIPA this one definetly falls on the bitter side which was very nice. However the bitterness really lingered and I found the exploration of hop flavors to be a bit heavy handed. All the typicall hop flavors are there but it is all just a little out of balance. I enjoy very bitter beers but the long lingering finish prevents this beer from being the summer refreshment i was looking for. I will re-rate this again on a cooler day because i think the weather may have really effected my enjoyment of this

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.

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.

Bottle. 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.

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!

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.
