Mar 27, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Pours a nearly clear coppery gold with a large linen white head that lasted through the entire glass. Caramel, malt, pine and citrus are all present in the aroma. Initial flavor is caramel malt. This is quickly washed over with a bright citrus flavor and some pine. Bitter finsh but by no means acrid. At 10%, the alcohol is very well hidden. This is a first class IIPA.

Mar 21, 2007 Pours a peachy-amber hue, lightly hazy, with a tight and creamy white head. Pungent aroma of spruce and grapefruit at first, along with a surprisingly strong Danish wedding cookie element. Notes of light honey and apricots reinforce the malt and hops. There’s also a slightly spicy, maybe musky, feel to the aroma...like cumin, I think. Very sweet initially with bright acidity and it stays fairly sweet throughout. The bitterness is there, but it’s not as powerful as I was expecting. The taste is somewhat simple in comparison the the aroma, spruce and caramel seemingly dominate the affair. Slick and creamy body with lively pinpoint carbonation. It’s lacking the oomph of it’s brethren Ruination, is bulkier than many other more svelte DIPAs, and doesn’t quite reach the complexity of similar weight American strong ales. So there you have it.

Mar 20, 2007 I rocked a three liter bottle of this earlier with my housemates, and it was awesome. Rating from a 22 now. Lots of citrus in the aroma, with a touch of a pleasent flowery sweetness. Pours amberish, with a small off-white head. Flavor is lots of pine, some citrus, and some caramel flavors. Nice warming alcohol finish. I love all of the Stone IPA’s I’ve had. Nice beer.

Mar 17, 2007 Updated: Mar 18, 2007wow, this was strong. The aroma is amazing. A citrus kick to the face, and some nice sweetness to it. OUTSTADING. BUT, the flavour is all pine, the citrus seems to drop off quite a bit, all i got was pine and booze. It got a little better as ir warmed up, and some sweetness came through. a Very nice DIPA, but a little too piney for my taste
