Jan 15, 2009 Golden-orange in color with a tiny white head. The aroma is of citrus, hops, and caramel with slight floral notes as well. The flavor is very bitter and hoppy with notes of cirtus and caramel with a slightly sweet finish. The texture is syrupy. A great double IPA, very enjoyable...not quite the same caliber as Pliny and Ruination, but damn good nonetheless.

Jan 15, 2009 Fresh hop aroma of sweet citrus in front of a malty background presence.
Appearance is deep gold color with a long lasting small bubble persistent off-white head.
The hop bitterness on this big-bodied beer slightly over-balances the complex malt. Hop Flavor matches aroma. Finishes dry from the bitterness that remains on your palate.
Reminds me of eating Ruby-Red grapefruit. Great Double IPA.

Jan 13, 2009 Dark golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of citrus and peaches and malt caramel. Sweet malty flavour with biscuit and peach notes, a touch of tobacco. Finishing both bitter and malty.

Jan 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white top. Huge hop aromas, pine, grapefruit, grass, light earth, citrus and a thin malt body. The alcohol is so well hidden in this vast array of hop characteristics, making it one incredible dipa. Awesome beer.

Jan 12, 2009 I was stunned...The alcohol, at 10%, was not overstated. The hop character was perfectly balanced in both aroma and on the palette. I feel fortunate to have been able to experience this...A great DIPA.

Jan 11, 2009 12 oz draft on tap at Binny’s South Loop (Chicago, IL). Pours a highly bubbly bright amber with sunny gold notes, light hazed with a minimal white head. Aromas are hoppy, citrusy with a subtle maltiness. Citrusy orange and grapefruit steal the aroma show. Initial taste is hops, floral bouquet with grass and some subtle resinous pine. Lighter carmel malts mixed with some biscuity notes. Hops are special: sharp but relaxing floral and citrus of grapefruit, orange, and some lighter pine. Touch of tropical in the backend. I liked this a lot. Fresh. Very nice.

Jan 10, 2009 this is a solid Imperial IPA. very malty and balanced on the front. Citrus apricot hay/grass. Bitterness grows considerably on the finish. In fact that’s the only real reason I wouldn’t give this a 5. Although it does beg to be continually sipped on,
