Apr 26, 2008 Orange pour with minimal fizzy white head. Good hoppy and citrus aroma. First drink was okay, almost sweet and some spicy hops. Finish was bitter and soapy tasting. I couldn’t get the soap flavor out of my mouth. It really ruined the rest of the experience, which wasn’t bad.

Apr 21, 2008 Smells a bit hoppy. Flavor has some bite to it. A bit too strong in alcohol prescense and ended up giving me a bit of a headache so a lower overall score.

Apr 18, 2008 Picked up at Oceanside Bevmo. Pour is a very nice bronze with a decent, off white head. Aroma is mostly grassy hops and some malt. Flavor is pretty bitter up front. A little malt sneaks in near the finish. Pretty tasty. Nice, but lacks any subtlety...I know, it’s a IIPA. It just seems too one dimensional.

Apr 9, 2008 22oz bomber, no date. Clear medium dark orange with a one finger yellowish beige head, fair retention. Aroma of biscuity caramel, grain, light citrus, and not much else. Very light spicy hops once this warms. Grainy malts up front with some caramel. Alcohol doesn’t really try to hide with some minimal citrus in the background. Big bitterness peaking at a 6 in the dry finish with no real flavor from the hops coming through other than the mild citrus, which may be an overstatement. There is some light alcohol warmth in the back of the throat. Light to moderate carbonation with a medium sticky body. I think this is a DIPA failure and more along the lines of a bitter grainy barleywine, and not a good one at that. Kind of a suckfest, if you ask me.

Apr 8, 2008 Pours a deep redish hue with a sharp, crisp hoppy nose. Good solid off white head with nice retention. The taste is very hoppy with a somewhat subdued malt presence. Through the middle of my pint I could taste a little more of the malts but all and all this is a true iipa, with a pretty high abv which is masked pretty well by the hops. I would not serve this one overly cold, the flavor came through a little more after it warmed a little. A pretty intense iipa~

Apr 5, 2008 Pours a reddish brown with a small soapy white head. Aroma of grapefruit and hops. Flavor of pine, lots of hop bitterness, and not much sweetness to balance it out. Wow the hops are bitter in this one. If you love hop bitterness this beer is for you, but if you expect it to be balanced out by malty sweetness forget it.

Apr 1, 2008 This one gave me a pleasant "bitter-beer face". It truly is one of the more pungeant brews I’ve tried. Unfortunately, it lacks anything other than resinous pine and grapefruit on the tongue. Is it possible to drink a liquid and develop immediate cotton-mouth??? This beer sucked the moisture right out of me. Had to follow it up with a Thirst Buster!!!
