Jul 3, 2009 Pours a clear orange with little head. Mostly sweet honey, caramel with a dry finish. Some citrus presence, but less than I expect from an IIPA. Seems like an old bottle, maybe. I’ll try it again.

Jun 30, 2009 Bottle. Thick and resinous, this is a proper double IPA. The aroma is thick with the essence of freshly baking, big mushy malt, rich and thick. It drinks almost like whiskey, with a sense that maybe this had been poured from an old moistened oak barrels. Good. (#3570, 6/30/2009)

Jun 26, 2009 Poured a bit of a hazy golden-copper color with average lacing. The aroma was lots of malts, lots of peppery spice and a touch of citrus. The flavor was malty and spicy without any citrus contrast. Some notes of floral and pine. Good mouthfeel. Kind of boring and off-balance.

Jun 21, 2009 Clear orange color with little head. Muted hop aroma and a somewhat thin bittery taste. Felt like this needed more of a malt backing or perhaps a different blend of hops.

Jun 15, 2009 Bottle @ Yard House in Palm Springs. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Cloudy golden color. Aroma of peach, pineapple, grapefruit, fruit, citrus. Over the palate came caramel, toasted malt and again strong hoppy notes. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Moderated to heavy bitter and sweet flavor. Lingering bitter dry pineapple like finish. Very drinkable for a DIPA.

Jun 13, 2009 Pours a copper/orange, completley opaque. Nice white head with good lacing. The aroma is strong with floral, citrus, a malt dominating. Taste is very well balanced, a good amount of hops but not overly bitter and a lot of malt. This is a pretty heavy IPA with a very thick mouthfeel, not really a session beer. The alcohol is masked well. Very tasty!

Jun 10, 2009 12 oz bottle, poured a nice golden amber with small off white head. Nose of malts, hops, pine and citrus; everything thats good, well balanced. Taste was similar, more on the sweet side than dry.
