gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Aug 16, 2008 Updated: Sep 9, 2008Orange body with a cream colored head. Extremely hoppy aroma with alcohol and a tiny bit of sweetness (dessert/ice wine). The mouthfeel is thick and almost syrupy. The taste is hoppy bitterness that eases up on the finish so it’s a perfect amount of bitter. dogfish120love (250), west hartford, Connecticut, USA Aug 11, 2008 clean, crisp and of course very hoppy. orange in color slight bitterness. a very solid iipa cgort (52), mission viejo, California, USA Aug 9, 2008 This was an orange color when poured from the bottle. This is a super hoppy beer. With huge hop aroma and flavor. Overall... hopped. TEJA (281), Stockholm, Sweden Aug 7, 2008 Bottle at Oliver Twist. Nice amber/orange colour with a off-white head.
Brutal hop aroma of many different kinds of hops. Rough hop taste and bitternes that lasts. This is deffenetly a sipping beer and nothing for non hopheads. The bitterness is OK but a bit to much hop taste that make the beer unbalanced. HughConway (364), Alabama, USA Aug 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber orange with decent head. Hoppy fruit aroma. Malt with lots of hops. A bit mild for a double. Skeegle (476), Maryland, USA Jul 31, 2008 This was a super heavy beer for a IIPA. Thick almost, and chewy. Great balance of citrusy and piney hops, but the bitterness was all the piney hops after the swallow. Lingering brutal bitterness. Just great, and much more imposing than some higher rated IIPA’s. roder60 (1019), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2008 Pours bright clear orange with bubbly foamy offwhite head. Very nice citrus hop aroma. Nice malt flavor with lots of bitter citric hops. Overall, very nice double that tastes more liek normal ipa. LinusStick (1830), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 25, 2008 Wow what a great IIPA! I don’t know how the west coast does it, but damn is this a great and drinkable beer. Aroma was nice. Strong pine and citrus hops. Don’t get enough of the piney hops here in the northeast. Pour was a nice medium amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was a hop bomb that expertly balances just enough caramel and dark malt to keep it drinkable. The hops varied from citrus to pine needles, but dried the mouth out and left a strong bitterness on the tonsils. Outstanding beer.
