Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours cloudy copper with a big, creamy, everlasting beige head and a wall of lacing down the glass. Nose is big on hops - citrusy grapefruit and resiny pine complement the rich vanilla sweetness. Taste begins with a big, creamy, caramel and vanilla sweetness, with a sweet citrus presence ushering in the huge hop note towards the end- big citrusy hops up front, moving to a resiney pine that lingers on the palate for a long, somewhat bitter finish. Mouthfeel is hugely creamy, with carbonation to match. Hugely successful beer with no real weak points.

Aug 12, 2008 [1511-20080704] 1pt6floz bottle. Sweet navel orange and bitter citrus rind aroma has a little musty malt and light floral hints. Murky, light brown body with a quick creamy white head. Bitter citrus flavour has a lot of heavy wooden malt. Medium bitter body. Funny label! Solid brew.

Aug 5, 2008 Hazy orange-red pour, nicely carbonated with a thick bubbly tan head. Very strong aroma of fruity hops - peach and grapefruit. Floral with some vanilla and pine. Dry bitter flavor with lots of hops but very fruity. Notes of grapefruit. Very good IIPA, but the finish is a bit too bitter and this separates from the top IIPAs.

Jul 31, 2008 Bottle, light amber in color, decent head. Smell of sweet, citrus hops. Good lacing. Taste is a strong bitterness. Lots of hops....could use a little more malt character to balance it out. Big bitter after taste. Good texture, smooth and easy to drink. Good DIPA, but not the best.

Jul 18, 2008 Orange pour with offwhite 2 finger head. Strong Citrusy hop aroma. Tingling palate with a Fantastic balance of spicy hops and subtle malts. Well crafted and a pleasure to drink. Less bold than some DIPAs but this the balance is welcomed in the style.
