Amber-honey color with smallish white clingy foam.
Smells very floral with some woody spice and a hint of sweet grapefruity citrus.
Wow, first impression is this is way too sweet... The alcohol is pretty well hidden, as far as heat is concerned, but this cloying sweetness is not much a better alternative. Sweet caramelly, candied orange dominate and the hops just peek out here and there to remind you its a DIPA.
Smooth, despite a decent amount of carbonation and not nearly as sticky feeling as some. Would prefer more hop bitterness to balance the sweetness to keep it drinkable for me.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle: Clear copper pour with a smaller white head. Nose is hoppy and sweet, citrus and caramel mostly. Taste is rich and flavorful as the aroma would lead. Rich, potent, and smooth. Plenty of citrus and floral bitters. Nice. Thanks Matt.

Aug 23, 2008 Trade from Ross, thanks man! Pours a golden color with light white head and a good amount of lacing. Aroma is floral hops, light caramel malt and some subtle fruitiness. Taste is much the same. For a double IPA I was expecting a bit more citrus or pine in this beer, but overall it’s not bad. Alcohol is well hidden and carbonation is moderate. It’s easy drinking but not very tasty.

Aug 23, 2008 Pours a golden color with minute particles, a thin white head, with some sticky lacing. Aroma is hops, some citrus, and a light malt undertone. Taste is about the same - smooth and creamy, with little bitterness. A very easy-drinking IPA.

Aug 17, 2008 Hazy, honey/amber colored with a relatively small off-white head. Nose is quite sweet, with some citrus notes as well as peaches and sugar. Flavor is sweet, with a good dose of citric hops backing that up. Notes of grass and a nice astringency in the finish.
