Apr 19, 2008 alcohol is almost too much, very grassy and chewy. the hops are super bitter. a beer that you have to work with, it’s not very refreshing. I expected to like this beer a lot more than I did. Not on of my favorite dipas.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of sweet flowery hops almost like a honeysickle with a touch of orange. The taste was sweet and hoppy with a strong bite. Very interesting and complex mixture of tastes.

Apr 16, 2008 Now this is an IIPA. Pours a cloudy honey amber with a great head that sticks around for quite a while. Aroma of hops, hops and more hops - it just hits you in the face when you lift the glass to your nose. Mostly citrus, but some floral hops in there as well. The flavor is delicious - mild notes of apricot and grapefruit along with pine and, you guessed it, hops. Thick - it just coats your mouth, and leaves a great aftertaste lingering. This is a fantastic beer, especially for hop heads.

Apr 16, 2008 Sample at Stone. Pours a clear deep amber color with a medium thin and somewhat fizzy white head that burns away steadily. Aroma of citrus and piney hops as well as touches of caramel and malt. Rich and flavorfully bitter with loads of hops and citrus offset by a good malty base. The finish is dry and hoppy with a lingering grapefruit and hops aftertaste. Maybe suffered for sampling after Stone’s Ruination but still a very good IIPA.

Apr 14, 2008 Bottle. Grapefruit and red berries in the somewhat medecinal hoparoma. Firm oily hop flavor, somewhat medecinal with grapefruit, lemon and red berries. This beer is malty enough, but this is overpowered by the omnipresent hops. Long oily hopbitter aftertaste with pineapple.

Apr 12, 2008 Bomber. Pours a clear amber with some floaters. Initial 2 finger head that hangs on farily well. Nice lacing. Nose is ripe citrus fruits mainly with malt background. Palate is light biting into a ripe tangerine at first, then starts to sour to grapefruit until it finishes with a pine bite. Beer has a medium mouth feel and the 10.5% alcohol is nicely hidden. Fantastic brew - this is at the top of my IIPAs.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle. Musky hops, light smoke. Amber color with thick white head. Heavy alcohol presence and a muddled hop bitterness. All over the place and unbalanced.

Apr 8, 2008 Murky mix of orange and yellow with a light head. Big grapefriut citrus hop smell with some bready malt sweetness. Smooth medium body. A lightly sweet bready malt flavor is quickly overtaken by a big tart grapefruit hop taste. Very easy drinking, hard to spot the 10% here. 11157
