Oct 9, 2009 Has a bitter sweet taste. The 10.6% ABV suggests that it has some bite to it, but it’s rather enjoyable. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Oct 6, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Triangle Plaza, Raleigh, NC. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Hoppy floral and citrus hop aroma with a bit of nuttiness and caramel. Taste is toffee, caramel with citrus and floral hop notes. For a DIPA I would like more bitterness. Faint alcohol notes. Medium bodied. Decent beer.

Oct 1, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Clear orange in color with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet and citrusy with lots of juicy hop and citrus notes, along with a nice floral sweetness. Flavor begins sweet and citrusy with a bitter and dry hop middle. Some flowery and apple notes come through at the finish. Flavor doesn’t last as long as I thought it would, and the alcohol is well hidden.

Sep 27, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a two finger fothy white head. The smell is mostly sweet malts with some citrus hoppiness. The taste is sweet bready malts along with citrus floral hops. Much more malt flavor than most IPA’s.

Sep 26, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a pleasant orange-brown with a slight haze and a thick off-white head. The aroma is sweet and hoppy with a blend of grapefruit, earthy hop resin, and pine needles. The flavor follows the aroma - a pleasant level of hops that persist throughout and cut a broadly bitter path across the tongue with a funky and somewhat earthy bitterness combined with other typical American hop notes - like evergreen and bitter citrus. The malts provide a fairly thick and chewy honey-like sweetness throughout. The finish is a bit full with a firm but not overpowering bitterness. The alcohol is well hidden. The mouthfeel is full and thick with a decent level of carbonation that lightens the body. Overall, a decent beer - but a bit full and sweet. Admittedly, it is very smooth considering that it’s over 10% alcohol.

Sep 25, 2009 Tap @ Isaac Newton’s. Pours golden orange with light head. A little sweeter than i would have liked which comes from the extra malt needed to boost this to 10.6 percent. Decent IIPA.
