Nov 2, 2008 Bottle. Orangish color, thick hop aroma. Huge hop presence throughout. Deep resinous chewy mouthfeel. Plenty of malt carrying the hops, but never getting in the way. Good hop bitterness, not overwhelming though, just consistently delivering hop yumminess, start to finish. Excellent.

Nov 1, 2008 22 oz. bottle, shared with Gabe. Once initial carbonation is gone, pours a thin head with minimal duration some lacing, over an orangish amber body....nose of resin, pine, malt with a bit of sour yeast....tastes of layers of hop flowing through, ending with sweetness (hop rather than malt)...nice thick chewy mouth feel.

Oct 29, 2008 Bottle at Teresa’s next door...Light cloudy copper color....small dotted lacing...orgasmic perfect hop malt combo for the nose...slightly sweet scent... hops are in a comfortable hug with the malt....sharp fresh hops on the palate...clean and crisp, with a sweet malted finish...detailed aroma: sweet marshmallow, toffee, and a touch of bread....flavors of citrus throughout is a combination of grapefruit with a hint of orange

Oct 25, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Ratting this one from memory. A hop punch with wonderful hop balance! Spicy citrus flavors. Very thick mouthfeel. I need to try again so I can take better notes.

does not count  Oct 24, 2008 Creamy white head. Big Hop flavors. Aromas of sweet pinneaple. Syrupy in the mouth. High alcohol content without a strong alcohol taste. Pours as a deep copper color. A must for Hop heads. This brew comes and goes throughout the year, so when you see it buy at least a bottle because you may not get a chance next week.

Oct 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours very cloudy amber with a decent off white head. Aroma of grapefruit, mango and some sweet malt. Taste is grapefruit, pine and some sweet malt, but not much. This tastes of almost pure hops. Great bitterness that lingers on for a while. Big body, a little hot from the alcohol. Good stuff. I love SoCal IIPAs.

Oct 21, 2008 Pours a hazy amber with a short lived head. Aroma is candied grapefruit, sweet pineapple and mango and some fresh green hops. Flavor is sweet candied hops, fading into pure grapefruit and pine juice. Almost syrupy body while still being nice and dry. Delicious stuff, much better than the last bottle I had.

Oct 21, 2008 I don’t know how but I never rated this. Notes aren’t great, but here we go. Poured dark orange with a white head. Aroma was big and piney, citrus and grapefruit. Thick and juicy. Just a very solid IIPA. Big West coast blah blah blah. Nothing somebody else hasn’t said. If you see it, pick it up and drink it.
