Big hop aroma that strikes me as the grassy variety. The flavor is big sweet hops that are bitter but not too much and the hops are all citrus. This reminds me of my favorite DIPA - Hopslam - but just not quite as flavorful all around. Very good, though.

Had it on draft at the brew pub. Poured into there 10 oz snifter. Pours mahogony with a very small white head that shrinks away to a very spotty white film on top of the beer. No lacing. The aroma is of caramel and roasted malts along with some floral and citrus hops. The flavor is first off a hint of caramel malt followed by a big hit of citrusy hops and followed by a bitterness that lasts for along time. The mouthfeel is full with a creamy body and soft carbonation.

22 oz’er ... A nice bright orange-red beer with a sticky top. The aroma is bright and citrusy and thick, but this drinks with a surprising mellowness, while still delivering a big hop component over a solid malt base. Delicious! (#3579, 7/10/2009)

Draft at Jerry’s. Amber with big, foamy beige head / Nose of brown sugar, dry hops, and citrus / Medium body, sweet & chewy, with big malts eclipsing the biting hops on the slightly hot finish / Flavors of brown sugar, cut pine, grapefruit, chalk, and violets / A big, malty 2ipa. Very nice.

Hazy amber color. Sweaty hops aroma, fruity and resiny too. Good body, caramel flavor, and powerful bitterness, by a resiny hop; but in its extremeness is well balanced. Very good.

2008 MiBGF: Coppery hue with a excellent head and lace. The aroma has notes of caramelized malt, floral and grassy hops, apple and peppery phenolic esters. The taste start with bitter snap and acidity supported by lots of sweet malts for balance. Hop spice and slightly boozy finish. The mouth feel is oily and sticky, warming with a sharp kick around the edges. This was really nice and the best beer I had on Day 1.

Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma has pine and resiny hops to go along with some spicy hops and slick sweet maltiness. The taste is much the same with thick hoppiness I love to sink my teeth into going from pine, resiny sap and grassiness to spicy hops that all run straight into smooth slick malt sweetened hop flavor. Wow, solid IIPA.

Pours orange/brown with a nice off white head. Aroma is big citrusy, spicy hop. Flavor is full of citrusy, resiny hop with a nice bitter finish. Very good.
