12 oz can, love the can. Pours a deep amber with a tan foamy head with some lacing. Aroma is sweet citrus, pine and a good amount of caramel malt. The flavor is sweet then slowly fades to a bitterness. The body is the heavier side of medium with a mild carbonation and a somewhat syrupy mouth feel. Overall this is a pretty well balanced IIPA, just a tad on the sweet side.

On tap at the Tasty Weasel in Longmont on 7/16/09. Pours a great orange with a little off white head. Awesome pine and citrus hops aroma with a little vanilla undertones. Very well balanced sweet/bitter double IPA with a long lingering bitter finish.

Pours a robust, sitcky orangish/red. Somewhat fruity nose, but it disappears quickly. Rather sweet at first tastet. Dry-hopped and it shows in the finish. Overall the balance is unbelievable, the flavor powerful and tangy. A true gem and not just because the first time I had it was in the back seat of a car. I’ve had it several times since and it brings it.

copper, thin offwhite head. thick musky hop aroma. very smooth texture and balanced flavor, though a bit mild. there’s tons of caramel, it’s like candied hops. medium-thin body and very light carbonation. this is good, but not great.

This is by far one of the most flavorful and power packed IPA’s out there. Drink a few of these and consider yourself a man.

Pours a hazy orange with a thin off-white head. Strong aroma of grapefruit and apricot. Flavor is tropical fruits up front that is quickly overtaken by piney hop bitterness. Dry, biting mouthfeel. A decent IPA but a little overrated IMHO.
