Aug 3, 2006 Updated: Aug 10, 2006Excellent beer, great double IPA. Hits all the expected notes: big ABV, citrus hoppiness (with some grassiness too), malty backbone. However, after having Stone IPA and a few other greats, I notice that here the disparate elements don’t gel as well as in it’s brethren. It’s still great, but not quite as well put together as others. In a style with little variability, that is a serious detriment. Oh well, I still wouldn’t complain about having one in hand.

Aug 3, 2006 Pours amber-orange with creamy off white head. Bready aroma with perfumy, grassy hops. Easy palate. Finishes soft and bitter.

Jul 30, 2006 You can smell the strong alcohol but it does not come across harsh when drinking. Extreme hops but not overelly bitter. Sweet and drinkable.

Jul 27, 2006 Nice beer. Very malty, lots of hops too though, and tons of flavor. Hid alcohol well. Nice lacing, one helluva beer.

Jul 24, 2006 Draft at Cock and Bull Pub in Sarasota, FL. Clear gold/copper. Solid, off white sponge of a head. All hops. Nose is mostly citrusy sweet and floral, the flavor adds pine, resin, and grass. Just a touch of malt. Medium/full, balanced palate. Dangerously drinkable.

Jul 24, 2006 bottle. pours a slightly hazy orange with a medium off white head, good lacing. the carbonation on this beer is medium. I get almost all pineapple and orange in the aroma, as well as a good deal of pineapple in the taste. Interesting. The IBU’s can definitely be upped in this beer, as an imperial it is not bitter enough for the style...but it’s not a bad beer. I’m actually enjoying it, a different take on a IIPA. Alcohol is very well hidden. Finish has a tiny bit of bitterness, otherwise smooth and fruity.
