Oct 24, 2008 on the top of the IPA line strong in every category. The hops are there for the hop head yet not over done great balance. a hint taste of fruit just the proper touch. balance is what I would describe of this brew. well deserving of high marks.

Oct 22, 2008 GABF 2008. a beer worthy of my 2000th rating! Deep red-orange, powerful hop aromas of perfumey conifer, grapefruit, and tropical fruits. Big chewy sweet malts, oily bitter complex hop character that you can drown in! This is such a big beer, but it is very drinkable and surprisingly does not overwhelm. Worthy of the hype in my opinion (unlike my opinion of their Gumball Head).

Oct 21, 2008 An intense beer with piney nose and flavor. Definately has a lot going on with bitter finish and aftertaste. Hop profile could be a bit more rounded. 9.5 is nowhere to be found in this hopstorm.

Oct 20, 2008 Draught. Low white and quickly disappearing head. Clear golden body. Heavy barl malt aroma with a good deal of hops. Flavor though no so heavy but spiccy and hoppy. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.

Oct 19, 2008 A beer that lives up to the hype. Nice medium orange color pour with a good white head. Slightly pine and citrus aroma that just got better with time. Sweet malt backbone complimented the hop bitterness. It was a DIPA that drank link an IPA. When can I get some more?

Oct 18, 2008 Pours a nice hazy orange color. Huge aroma hops, citrus fruit, alcohol, and caramel. Taste is big on the hops and citrus, with a strong bitter backbone. Big alcohol presence. Lingering bitterness. Finish is very earthy, with grassy notes. This one warms you up with the booziness.

Oct 16, 2008 WONDERFUL. Nice light malty hop bomb. Had to get this one on Ebay, worth every penny. Great color with sticky head lots of lacing but quickly dissipating. Undertones of roasted malt and citrus with a medium alchohol burn on the finish. Damn well balanced and very enjoyable hop bomb.

Oct 15, 2008 Updated: May 28, 2009Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a rich amber with some cloudiness and a good amount of sediment. Very sweet hop nose. Plenty of great hop flavors. Grapefruit predominate. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Carbonation is nice, dry finish. One of the best DIPAs!
Resampled fresh 3/15/09: 22 oz bottle. Pours a deeper gold with loads of bubbles and a thick, lacing off white head. Sweet floral hops on the nose, peach, pineapple. Flavors follow with a crisp bitter tone to it. Alcohol a little strong but doesn’t take away from anything. Still love it, top tier for sure!
Resampled aged a well over a year (by mistake) bad idea!!
