Apr 25, 2008 12 oz bottle from a trade with franksnbeans. pours slightly hazy orange with a small tan head. low amount of carbonation. aromas are malty with some hops but not at all what youd expect from a DIPA. flavours are a little muddled and boozy. drinkable but a little rough at some points. alcohol on the palate here as well. i was expecting more, especially from a bottle this fresh.

Apr 20, 2008 Draft pint at Capital Alehouse. Clear light copper/orange with almost no head. Aroma of piney/citrusy american hops with a bit of malt sweetness. Citrusy american hops dominates flavor with enough malt sweetness to ballance. Medium mouthfeel with hop bitterness in the finish. Very nice tasty IPA.

Apr 18, 2008 Draught. Pours an orangy amber. Aroma was brown sugar, sweet and malty with a touch of something like rubbing alcohol. Taste was sweet, candied fruit, alcohol. A nice thick brew.

Apr 16, 2008 Heavy malt flavor of cereal, nuts, and caramel. Heavy hebal hoppy flavor of resin and grapefruit. Moderately yeasty. Plum, charcoal, honey, and alcohol flavors throughout. Very malty and hoppy. Frothy head is light brown, excellent, and mostly diminishing. Clear medium, amber orange body. Lightly sweet. Moderately acidic. Heavily bitter. Long duration. Full body, was dry, creamy, and lively carbonation. Nice long finish. A great beer.

Apr 12, 2008 Updated: Aug 1, 2008This pours a bright darker shade of orange with some head and a bit of lacing hanging around throughout the beer. Sweet and fruity hopped aroma but it isn’t all that powerful. The flavor consists of a crisp hoppy grapefruit bite, a bit sweet and a mild bitter aftertaste. The hops don’t scream Imperial IPA to me. More like a solid IPA and certainly doesn’t seem like there’s 10% abv in here. It must be well hidden!

Apr 5, 2008 bottle poured a light amber with good carbonation and a thick two finger head. aroma has sweet candy hops, caramel malt, citrus peel, and grapefruit. mouth feel is medium full with frothy carbonation. flavor is spicy fruit hops colliding with a heavy dose of malt that stands up to the bite. bitterness creeps in leaving a finish of hop resin and thickness that lingers on for a while. definitely a chewy malted version of the style that i would never have thought was 10.6% abv.

Mar 28, 2008 From bottle... poured cloudy and pale gold. Disappointingly weak aroma. Flavor was OK... somewhat overwhelmingly grapefruit. Somewhat sticky palate. Not too impressed. Probably wouldn’t get again.
