22oz bottle: poured dark orange with a smallish beige head. Small head probably due to the temperature of the beer. Big caramel/pine aroma. Big bitter, sweet, massive hop taste. Bitter finish. Nice full body. I may have rated this higher back when I was a big hophead but my tastes have changed. I would have loved this even more so back in the day. Still a very nice beer.

Dec 10, 2009 Hazy orange pour with a foamy white head. Massively sweet honey and grapefruit character with a lasting bitter pine finish. This is just a sticky, cloying malt bomb covered up by some nice hop flavors but it’s just too overtly sweet and out of balance.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours an orange, cloudy liquid with a medium-sized, off-white head. Aroma is fruity and grassy with lots of floral hop notes. Taste is a bit acidic and quite bitter with lots of grapefruit and some pineapple. Long, bitter finish. A really nice DIPA.

Dec 3, 2009 Huge, huge thanks to coyotehunter for this. Pours a golden orange with a one finger head. Smells of citrus, sugar, honey and pine notes. Mouthfeel is thick and oily, taste follows the nose and is really smooth with a wonderful hops bitter. Really well balanced beer. Wish this was available around here.

Nov 21, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours somewhat copper with a big head. Aroma is outstanding. As soon as I opened the bottle, I could instantly smell the hoppy goodness. The aroma and taste is mainly dominated by citrus and pine notes. The bitterness from the hops lingers forever on your tongue. I had no clue this was 10% ABV, it is well hidden. This is great flavorful, well balanced, double IPA.

Nov 21, 2009 27th August 2008. Orange cloudy beer. Lots of hops but smooth and fruity. Ubiquitous grapefruit aftertaste. Good IPA - slightly above the myriad crowd of hoppy beers.

Nov 18, 2009 One of my favorite California IPAs. Hoppy deliciousness!
The pour has a hazy amber orange look to it, with a decent sticky head.
The smell of this beer is pure hops.
The taste is hop heaven. Not too piney and not too citrus-ey a perfect balance of hop varieties.
Probably not the best beer for someone who is just getting introduced to IPA’s , but for the IPA lovers a it’s hit for sure.

Nov 17, 2009 Bomber. Hazy dark orange with small white head. Aroma predominantly of citrus-fruity hops, slight sweetness, noticeable malt, notes of pine. Taste is dominated by fruity-acidic hops, slight malt sweetness. Big bitter bite lingers.

Nov 17, 2009 Pours a murky orange-brown with thick head. Aroma of citrus, pine, orange, florals. Promises and delivers....hammering hops. Sweetish malt, but you wouldn’t say the word balance. Still, its the good stuff.
