Aug 22, 2009 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of caramel, cereal and cookie, moderate orange for the hops, light beefy smell for the yeast, with butterscotch and medicine in the background. Head is small, faintly off-white, with a little lacing and is almost fully diminishing. Color is hazy light copper. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes moderately sweet, lightly acidic, slightly bitter and a touch salty. Palate is medium, oily, with an almost flat carbonation. Intense flavors and aromas, but a weak carbonation and lack of good balance sunk this DIPA a bit.

Aug 15, 2009 Pours amber with thick off white head. Aroma is powerful toasty malts with a delicious cirusy hop kick. Flavor is a ridiculous hop punch to the mouth. I wish there was a bit more balance. Hop addicts may enjoy this more than me.

Aug 14, 2009 Pours coppery orange with a thin off white head. Aroma is lots of pine and citrus hops. Flavor is sweet, sticky, pineapple hops, with a hint of alcohol. Flavors aren’t in balance, there is to much sugary sweetness for the hops.

Aug 7, 2009 22 oz bomber - Immediate blast of hop aroma upon opening - Golden pour with a half inch head and good lacing - Lacked the bitterness expected in a DIPA

Aug 7, 2009 22 oz bottle clear brown color with a moderate off-white frothy head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate citrus hoppy and malty aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet small alcohol bite finish of moderate duration. This is a solid beer.

Aug 1, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a clear copper body with a two-finger width, dense and foamy, slowly dissipating light tan head that leaves lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is sweet and somewhat syrupy, medicinal grapefruit and peach hops. A light amount of deep caramel, but mainly sweeter hops. Flavor is thick and sticky, sweet cereal malts, with some chewy caramels. The citric and peachy hops have a light pine with a moderate bitterness. Dry in the finish with a pretty short aftertaste and light boozy warmth. Full body and somewhat off-balance IMO. Overall, a sweeter DIPA with a moderate bitterness that never really comes together for me. I’m not really digging the thick, sticky, chewy body either.

Aug 1, 2009 Moderate aromas of flowers and touches of alcohol, almost like perfume. Flavor is very sweet with hop flavor but not much bitterness. Nice, but not great.
