500-mL bottle. Pours yellow-golden with a large, lasting white head and plenty of lacing. Nice, strong pine-hop aroma. Flavor is a well-blended mix of woody bitterness, hop resin, and slightly sweet malt backing. Bit of tropical fruit and grass mixed in there. Excellent DIPA.

Dec 22, 2009 Well crafted and ridiculously drinkable for its strength. Pale Amber, nice head. Aromas of grapfruit and tobacco leaves.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Pours a sickly yellow with just a little bit of floaters. Huge pine hop aroma. The aroma writes a check the the taste can’t cash, but it’s still pretty good. Pine, hops, caramel, and a little citrus. Great mouthfeel with a warm alcohol finish.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle in my secret Santa box from alagnak. Clear golden pour with tiny nodules of sediment floating in it. Aroma is huge hops, very fat and lush. Surprisingly smooth upfront for the amount of hops on the nose. Taste is smooth hops with a full richness to it. Very complex and quite enjoyable. Intense to say the least.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Smells extremely hoppy, but of course, its a double. It has a nice light golden color and is rather cloudy. So hoppy it made me sneeze 3 times. It has all the elements of a solid double IPA, but I haven’t acquired the taste for it yet.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle [500ml] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o garthicus. Pours a slightly hazy orange with an average size bubbly white head. Aroma: Fookin’ lovely! Lots of sweet, resiny hops along with citrus and tropical fruit. Delicious flavour is very hoppy but oh so easy to drink. Long bitter finish. Great body for the style. Simply amazing -- thanks for sharing garthicus, I’ve been wanting to try this for years!

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle thanks to Santa. Pours a bright orange color with a white foamy head that leaves nice full lacing. Nose is bright piny hop notes with a floral hopness. Palate is full, very bitter and quite active. Flavors of piney hop notes with a biscuity malt and a floral note.

Dec 16, 2009 This beer is wonderful. The pour is golden with an off white head and minimal lacing. The nose is hops (lots of them), pine, citrus, lemon zest, and bready malts. The taste is similar with some floral notes and orange as well as slight butterscotch. The palate is smooth and delicious.

Dec 14, 2009 500 ml bottle. My eyes have been opened. This beer could not have been better or more well crafted than it was. The hop character is sharp, citrus, pine, but is incredibly balanced with a mild malt sweetness. One of the most well balanced beers that really hit the palate perfectly. This beer was nothing short of amazing.
