Apr 30, 2008 Bottled, from cracked kettle. Hazy orange brown color, short head, tiny particles. Aroma is very very fruity, grapefruit, pine, mango. Very bitter taste, almost astringent, hop juice, dry. Great aroma, extreme in taste. Great for a small glass, but a whole bottle for yourself is just killing.

Apr 30, 2008 Hazy ruby coloured, chunks of yeast. Hoppy nose, very fruity, some malts, not as strong as i expected. Hoppy and fruity flavour with exploding and overwhelming bitterness in finish, which is everlasting. I’m not a big fan of the style, so this example, which is on the extreme side even for the style, is just too much for me.

Apr 29, 2008 Pours a bright golden amber with a dense one-finger head that shows extremely good retention and minimal lacing. Huge fresh hops smell, like walking through a pine forest filled with grapefruits. Also got some citrus notes as well, lemon maybe and some malty sweetness in the background. Quite nice!T: Hello pine forest! Dominant piney hop flavor with a slight malt base. Also got some nice fruity notes leading to a long lasting hoppy bitterness that lingered on the tongue. Pleasant bitter, prickly thickness in the mouthfeel. It’s definitely a great example of a hoppy West Coast DIPA. Drinkability is great and I would definitely seek this out.

Apr 29, 2008 Poured a cloudy orange color with a fluffy white head. Aroma of tons of hops and more hops. Flavor is also just plain hops but comp-lex because of all the different types of hops in it. good but not nearly the greatness of Hopslam.

Apr 29, 2008 Bomber from my boy Ryan S. at Texas liq. in Carlsbad. What can I say about this one, WOW. Sunset orange complextion with a butt load of piney hops. Taste is HEAVY hops as you would expect, lots of citrus notes and lots of hops. Here it is for you hoppies, enjoy~

Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a cloudy peach hue with almost no head to speak of.
S- Smell is dominated by citrus hops, very aromatic and a joy to smell.
T- Taste is a barrage of hops, a mixture of pine and citrus with a bitter back end that would leave even the most extreme hop head stunned.
M- Fairly viscous with a good amount of carbonation.
D- Fairly drinkable, the high abv and bitterness detract a bit but its so damn tasty it’s hard not to drink.

Apr 26, 2008 a good double IPA.....seemed better when it was only a seasonal beer....
but citrusy nose and tons of malt flavor to back it up and make it 10.5%
a good but not great DIPA
still kicks the ass of most east coast IPA’s though!

Apr 23, 2008 Updated: Dec 17, 2008Hazy amber pour with nice creamy golden head. Sweet, hoppy, malty nose. Aromas of tropical fruits such as mangos and papaya. Flavor showed bitter hops, caramel, grapefruit peel, and present alcohol. Waxy palate. Good stuff.
