Jun 28, 2008 Pours amber orange with a tall white alomot frothing head. Hops, pine, grapefruit on the nose. Great balance between hops and citrus with spice and pine adding flavor.

Jun 26, 2008 Pours a dark orange color with a small foamy white head that leaves patches of lacing around the glass. The nose shows fresh grapefruit hops, resinous pine, oranges all over toasted caramel. The flavor shows even more bitterness with the citrus and grapefruit hops pushing through with orange and citrus juices adding flavor. Sweet toffee and caramel add a nice malt base, but the hops are still dominant here which is a good thing. Medium bodied and a touch syrupy, but goes down really easy. This one got better as it warmed up as the bitterness in the finish was aided by some sweet caramel. This one is dangerously good at 10.5% abv, and one I will seek out often. Another great IPA from these guys.

Jun 26, 2008 Bomber. Pours a nice orange with a good-sized white head. Aroma is not very hoppy for a DIPA, with lots of caramel-y malt notes with a little bit of citric hops and just a touch of alcohol. The front end of the taste is mostly the same with the sticky sweetness of malt, but it rounds out into some more of those citric hop notes, with a little bit of warmth from the alcohol. Very nice! I’m a big fan.

Jun 23, 2008 This one came from fordest who just about killed my wants list and hop craving with that last box. Anyways, here goes. Holy smokes this one is nice. Great hops, great balance, great looking, what more can you ask for other than big tits but beers don’t come with those. Hops are beautiful soapy, pine, grapefruit kind of hops. Aroma is smooth and fruity. Would like a little more wafting character from my aroma. The finish is gently sweet with some full bodied caramel flavors right before. Very well done by these guys as to be expected.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle. Thanks Hellbilly. Dark orange color with good head. Great hop aroma, apricot, orange, pine/grapefruit and lychee. Taste was similar but more caramel malt; too sugary. Alcohol makes its appearance at the bitter finish. Medium bodied, with some oil/resin on the palate.

Jun 17, 2008 Pours cloudy amber with a nice head. Smells of hops and citrus. Tastes makty, pine, and hoppy (but not over the top. Hides the 10.5 ABV very well. I’m such a sucker for double IPA.
