Pours a clear middle amber, with sparse bubbles in white around the rim. Aroma comes fast and furious with a sweet, clean orange hop mash. Sugar tooth to a hop character shaking with resins, freshness and candy. Perfusive and exploding. On the tongue, a beautiful hop bouquet, focusing on flavor, instead of the requisite bitteness marries with one of the most impressive malt bills of an IPA. There’s palpable chewiness in a tome of caramel, toast and malted sugars. The resins work so well with this base masterpiece and make this dangerously quaffable. Candied, cream, bright and alive. Maybe yearning for some of the bready spice fire that many in this style draw, but possibly unneccesary. Fantastic. carl4beer (401), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 22, 2007 Courtesy SoLan. Growler. Pours a hazy, magnificent glowing reddish orange with almost no head. Small fizzy white bubbles hug the edges of the glass. Very floral hop aroma, some grapefruit mixed in as well. A little mild, but really lovely. The taste has a good amount of hops, a slightly bitter grapefruit flavor as well. Doesnt really attack you with hops, but they are still pretty profound. The finish and aftertaste were pleasantly sweet, more so in the aftertaste. Finishes smooth and has a nice slick mouthfeel. Very good. fatty (363), Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania, USA

Rich, aggressive pineapple hop character. Thick, sticky palate. Smooth start quickly gives way to a strong grapefruit hop character that spreads itself well thoughout the taste. Lingering grapefruit rind finish. Overall, a real nice DIPA, but not as aggressive as I thought it would be, but that ends up working in its favor. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark

Amazing aroma of high alpha hops such as peach, citrus, caramel, and other fruits. Great flavour of burned caramel and hops. Ends up very bitter and tasty. yobdoog (1460), Woodridge NY, New York, USA

Some pine and citrus aroma as well as taste. Very Big beer. Complex even though so hoppy. Smooth and hoplicious.
