Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a sunset orangish red color with a nice, big, off white head.
S- Smells very hoppy with a deep bready malt backbone.
T- Taste is much less hoppy than expected, bready malt character all the way through, fairly mild with a nice hop bitterness at the end.
M- About medium viscosity, carbonation a little on the light side.
D- Not extremely stand out, but such a well balanced DIPA it’s hard not to like it.

Apr 26, 2008 Updated: Dec 29, 2008Can pours a hazy reddish copper color with a huge off-white head. Aroma is filled with a ton of hops with some citrus and pine thrown in. Flavor of hops, citrus, honey, and more hops. Very nice balance with a touch of sweetness from the malt and a mildy bitter finish. Very smooth and drinkable. This one could catch up with you quickly as you can’t detect the 8.7%

Apr 24, 2008 Heavy hoppy aroma. Large, frothy, off-white head. Good lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear brown body. Moderate bitter initial flavor with a long finish duration. Medium palate.

Apr 23, 2008 Draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a rich, hazy reddish-amber with a rocky beige head. Aroma is ridiculously hoppy and sweet. Flavor is a veritable explosion of flowery, citrusy hops. Notes of pine and pepper as well. The malts are very earthy and rich. It’s a hophead dream come true, when so many others fall short. Truly amazing.

Apr 23, 2008 12 oz can from a trade with franksnbeans. pours redish/orange/brown with a big everlasting rocky tan head. aromas of very complex malt/hops layers of good american brewed ale. flavours are similar with nice hop bite and suffient malts to support it. a touch thinner then expected but still very good. i could session this one on tap all day long.

Apr 21, 2008 Can. Copperred colour with huge offbrown head. Aroma hopps and some dried fruits (raisins, plumes) and some quite funny sour notes as well. Taste sweet, and lots of hopps and malt. Also some fruit notes, like plumes.good and long lasting finish. Quite alcohol dominated in a nice and warming way. Somehow I don´t find the sour notes nice in this beer, but elsewise a very nice beer, and maybe my rating is too hard.

Apr 21, 2008 Coppery colored with cloudy appearance. Little yellow head. Rich hopped, very American styled aroma with IPAish flowery note, fruits and toffee, fine perfume also comes up. Medium bodied. Hops and flowers dominate in flavor, aftertaste turns to soapy with bitterness still. Commercial description says something about amber ale, but this is more IPA to me.
