Aug 11, 2006 This poured a golden amber color, with a small white head. The big aroma was full of hops and citrus. The flavor followed suit. Overall a great brew, that represented the style well. I would have this one again anytime.

Aug 11, 2006 I hadn’t had a good double IPA in awhile and this was the ticket. From a 22 oz. bottle, this poured a nice clear light amber with a dissipating white head. The aroma was very complex and I can sense a bit of orange in there. Went down smooth, had a kind of oily feel, which I kind of like. It warms the tummy. My previous favorites IPAs were Stoudts and DFH, so it would be interesting to compare them next to this one, I believe the Smuttynose would be right up there.

Aug 9, 2006 I really enjoyed this brew. It had a huge hop aroma at the forefront of it. The cascade and columbus hops are well pronounced throughout this beer. The flavors were good but I didnt think they lived up to what was going on in the aroma for this beer. The alcohol is hardly noticeable even at 9.2%. Overall a really good beer, and one I would love to have again.

Aug 7, 2006 Bottle: Poured with a massive head of air over a hazy burnt umber beer. The citric hop nose wafted to my nasal passages from about 2 feet away ... sweet hops! The flavor is, well .... BIG! Spicy blood oranges, piney bark, more citric spiciness. All the way big.

Aug 7, 2006 Updated: Dec 23, 2006Smuttynose prescribed the perfect cure for the hop addicts craving. This big bottle series brew is a knockout! Blasts your mouth apart with hoppy flavors and spicy tingles. Destroys your taste buds beautifully! A delicious orange hue with that hazy murky look that just screams "hop trap". Drink a couple of these bombers and the person sitting to you left is gonna be missing a piece of their ear!

Aug 6, 2006 From bomber. Orange/yellow pour with thin white head. Nose is sticky citrus. Flavor is a lighter citrus with a good malt backing. Good light bitter throughout. Palate is just thick enough to support the hops. Pretty drinkable for a big IPA.

Aug 5, 2006 22oz bomber from Downeast Bev in Portland. Coppery amber color with a dark white head. Aroma was nice fruit and citrus, hop profile wasn’t as good as I wanted to see from this but it almost never is from the i2pas for a hop lover like myself. Had a bitter finish, but other than that no real hoptitude here. It’s good, but not as well balanced as the i2pa offerings i’ve had from rogue or dfh. Needs some more balance (hint cut back on the sweet sugars).
