Brewed by Port Brewing/Lost Abbey
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
San Marcos, California USA

pours a cloudy amber-orange with a thin beige head, and some lacing. smell is of grapefruit, vanilla, lemon, grass, caramel, and a touch of pine. taste is grapefruit that is in your face, caramel, pine, dandilion, ending is nicely bitter.

Thanks to Sickboy for this one....Wonderful hoppy aroma on the pour, citrus and grapefruit. The apperance just said, "drink me". That means its a nice copper color with a decent sized head. The flavor is very nice, super hoppy but with enough malt balance that it doesn’t ruin the beer. Very dry and bitter and I love it. I need to find some more of this somewhere.....east coast can suck for hops sometimes...super beer thanks again man!!!

Ahh, hops nirvana. Beautiful to look at, to smell and drink. Hi my name is Tim and i’m a hopaholic.

22 oz bottle via trade (thanks hellbilly!). THis one pours a semi-hazy amber with a large beige head. Nose is orange, apricot, pineapple. And it tastes like orange, apricot,pineapple, subtle grapefruit and a tiny bit of pine, and even a little spiciness, likely from the hops. This all sits on a very nice malt backbone that gives it a full body and a nearly syrupy mouthfeel. Carbonation is medium to moderate. A very nice IIPA that is hoppy but not TOO bitter and is balanced just right for an IIPA..meaning the hops take center stage, as they should!!!

Pours a golden amber with a white head with a cloudy body. The flavor is hoppy, but not overly so. Very piney and goes down smooth. Recommended for all.

22oz bomber served at 57° in a shaker glass. Aroma is an orgy of hops with pine, wintergreen, grapefruit, and spiciness all present. The aroma also has a nice caramel and honey malt backing as well as a touch of dark roasted grains lurking in the background. Reddish copper colored with a nice one fingered head. The initial taste is brown sugar, cinnamon, and pine with a hint of the bitterness that is coming. The taste is very piney, resiny, and spicy, all of which continue into the bitter finish and lingering aftertaste. I would guess that Chinook, Centennial, and Simcoe were all used very extensively in the mix of hops which are nice enough, but seem a bit muddled. I would have preferred more citrus and fruit in the mix of hops. This would make for a nice Xmas IIPA...

a rich amber pour with a 1/2 inch tan head which settles down to a layer of lace. wonderful fruity aroma of grapefruit and apricots. full bodied brew with some caramel & honey sweetness and more grapefruit - piney hops. hops were just a bit over the top in comparison to the malts but still quite delicious.

Thanks to Shyam for a great trade! Pours a cloudy deep orange with a small off white head and some lacing. Some sediment floating around the bottom of the glass. Very pungent floral aroma of pine, graprefruit, mango, caramel and dough. Flavor is distinctly bitter with some caramel malt to somewhat balance what must be a very large amount of hops. Very fruity and makes the mouth pucker as it travels down the throat. Long bitter finish, very creamy texture. A very good DIPA.
