Clear amber, fluffy sticky head. Copious aromatic hops over a little sugary caramel. Clean (not watery though), quenching, mild compared to my expectations. Some juicy hops of pine and citrus in the finish.

very floral and aromatic with complex citurs notes. medium ruby color with a nice white head and good lacing. grapefruit and pine flavors with a heavy mouthfeel. the citrus lingers pleasantly in the finish without drying out too much. one of my favorite double ipas to date...

On draft at the Blue Dog in Chalfont, PA. Deep garnet pour with thin white head. Nose full of hops. Flavor was caramel malts, citrus hops, piney hops and a dry finish. Medium bodied and very drinkable for its alcohol content. Real nice IPA.

Hazed copper body with exquisite lacing. Bold aroma of citrusy apricot and pink grapefruit, edged by hot caramel. Creamy body. Taste echos aroma, with blood orange joining the citrus. Marmelade with melted caramel in a can of real whoopass, kissed with divine hops.

Tap at The York. A clutch-ass beer that masks every drop of its 9% ABV. Sweet, citric hops with outlines of cane sugar, tea, and love. Very drinkable, very crisp and Coloradoan.

Pours a warm amber color from the can with a creamy off-white head and faint carbonation. Smells and tastes of mild hops, lemon rind, and chewy caramel. Black tea also seems present as this one warms. Nice, but fairly tame for a double IPA.

12oz can from Jans Wine and Boos #2 (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark reddish brown amber color with a massive frothy tannish white head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet and malty with heavy notes of citrus and grapefruit and other notes of caramel, honey, floral hops, yeast. Flavor is also malty and sweet with notes of caramel, floral hops, grapefruit, citrus, some honey and grassy notes. Generally medium body with a bitter hoppy finish.

Can shared by footbalm, thanks again man. Pours a light copper color with a light white foamy head. The aroma is nice piny hops, some light malt behind the hops. The flavor was very nice; some strong hops, mostly piny and some light citrus, light caramel malts. Very drinkable, and no alcohol present at all.
