Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear orange brown with an off white head. Aroma is floral, caramel, pine. Flavor is bitter, slightly floral, somewhat faded, hint of caramel. Lively mouthfeel.

Nov 1, 2009 Lightly hazed copper color with a small dense beige head. Grapefruit and caramel aromas dominate. Hints of fruit and earth in the background. Sweet malt and caramel in the front. Citric hops in the middle. Quite earthy in flavor as well. With all the earth it seems a bit unclean. A somewhat malt forward IIPA, wish the malt was a bit clearer.

Oct 28, 2009 courtesy of fiulijn - dark blond-orange colour with a persistent beige foam; nice lace; solidly hoppy with notes of flowers and cream; moderate carbonation and with a solid malt body; slightly sticky; very robust bitterness, long and very bitter flowery finish - a one-dimensional hop bomb

Oct 27, 2009 22 oz. bottler served in shaker- poured a mildly turbid darkened copper with shades of brown, low carbonation, very still thin white head with several frog eyes formed upon the liquid surface. Aroma of a caramel malt, piney hops, with a note of coriander. Hits the mouth with a high medium body, malt is there and tastes slightly toasted, hops come in the middle but are weak for a double IPA, finish is acidic. I’m not fearing the reaper.

Oct 25, 2009 Too much malt and not enough hop! Knew when the wife liked it I would be disappointed.......(fish called wanda moment)....anyway...beer tastes ok, good drink just not what I expect from a DIPA at all. Its not crap like their stout.

Oct 7, 2009 A little dissapointing for a double IPA. I would call it an imperial amber. Had an overwhelming caramel malt presence without anywhere near enough hops. Too mellow and mild. Lightly bitter finish with some burnt malts. Not bad though.

Oct 2, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours amber with a big head. Aroma smells a bit stale, it lacks the big hops aroma I would expect with a IIPA. Flavor is piney and floral,with a stronger malt backing than I prefer. A bit unbalanced. The ABV is well hidden. Forgettable.
