Commercial Description:
Brewed after Stone Coast's flagship 420 IPA, 840oz (that's 52.5 lbs) of hops were used. Dry-hopped with Liberty, Mt. Hood, and Tettnang whole hops during 5 weeks of conditioning. In addition whole Chinook hops were added after filtration. Surprisingly well-balanced, and gets better with every sip.

Moderate resin and pine hop aroma. Medium cloudyness with a large off white head. Mild hop bitterness in the taste the fades quickly.

22 oz bottle via Secret Santa 07/07(thanks!). Pours a semi hazy amber with a huge beige head. So..lets see if it has twice the MJ aromatic properties...well..lol..it somehow does! Cross between the grassy herb and woody hops. Taste is quite unique as well. A cross between some earthy,floral and piney hops, with a very metallic finish. Body is light/medium, carbonation is moderate. This is really unique, tasty and interesting until you get to the dry metallic finish...

Growler from Bierkraft. Brownish-orange pour with a thin white head. Aroma is more mellow than I expected - hops, some sweetness, peaches, a little bit of grassiness. Good rounded flavor, with some nice sweetness to balance those hops. Good long bitter finish. Well rounded east coast IPA. Good carbonation. Really refreshing.

Bitterness is overwhelming ! To me the bitterness takes away from any other characters this beer may have.

(22oz bottle) Medium, fluffy off-white that leaves nice lacing atop hazy amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, caramel, some peach. Taste is mild sweet, grapefruit/pine, herbal. Dry finish. Medium body, some acidity. Not bad, but could use more malt.

22 oz. bottle - i was eager to try this DIPA; pours orange with slight head and some lacing; strong malty and sweet aromas; flavors were not too bold though and hops seemed a little light; almost between an IPA and a DIPA

Actually surprisingly mild hop presence. It’s good, a little hoppier than the 420, perhaps most of the hops were added later and mostly provided their beta acids to the aroma. It’s a actually a well balanced double ipa. Not exactly what I was hoping to get, but still pretty tasty.

Bottle. Deep orange in color. Muted hoppiness for what I expected coming in. Extraordinarily smooth - evokes a cross between a 60 min and 90 min, especially true given the lightly tart bite on the end. Sampled @ American Beer Fest. Kevin Watson did a nice job here - quality beer I look forward to buying.
