A very nice double IPA, but somehow forgettable. Tasted very similar to Dogfish 90. Nice body, lacing, flavor, and aroma. Very enjoyable, but yet no distinctness to make it stand our from the crowd. Really good beer and well balanced for a double.

Dec 28, 2009 $8.99 / 22oz bomber- Aroma is all hops with floral, grass, and citrus--not hugely delightful. Nice-lasting seafoam, white top. Where the Hatter let me down was in the taste department. I think the best IPAs have a decent malt presence along with the traditional heavy hops you would expect. It is a nice imperial that hides a nice ABV punch, but not one of my favoirte imperial IPAs.

Dec 17, 2009 Amber color with a white head and sticky lacing. Nose full of hops and grapefruit juice. Full flavored DIPA with apple sauce, candied grapefruit, and some pine in the finish. Some honey sweetness, bready malts, and more and more alcohol as it warms. Nice, easy drinking DIPA.

Dec 10, 2009 Bottle: Poured a slightly hazy dirty orangey color ale with a small foamy head with OK retention and no lacing. Aroma of sweet malt base with light floral hops. Taste is too sweet for the style with some floral hops though not as much as expected. Body is above average with medium carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I found that this was way too sweet for the style and not enough hops presence – bottle has been kept in fridge since I received it though I wonder if this was maybe a bit too aged.

Dec 9, 2009 Mildly hazed amber with a large pillowy beige frothy lace maker of a head. Aroma of citrus, dough, light pine, caramel, grapefruit and sticky hops. Taste of alcohol, sticky resinous west coast hops, tasty malt, pine, orange and fruit. Mostly balanced with a little semi-candied sweetness. Finishes up moderately bitter with some alcohol bite back. Overall, a pretty good brew.
