Dark amber color, bright. Powerful and balanced hop aroma, with resins and fruits, light soap, but in a pleasant way. Good body strength, full caramel and malt flavor, with enough sweetness, as I like; it has a very strong bitterness, with strong resins and light fruitness. Bold but at the same time well balanced. Excellent.

Amber color. Hoppy aroma, with some hospital alcohol. The hoppiness is huge, aggressive, barely balanced by the malt, but I love hops…

Mar 31, 2006 Pours a copper orange amber with an average fluffy white lacing head. Aroma of orange, pine and caramel. Could sense a little bit of the alcohol in the aroma but not much in the flavor. Flavor of pine, caramel, grapefruit and a little more on the watery side than I was expecting. A decent beer but not one of the best Double IPA’s I’ve had.

Mar 27, 2006 shared this bottle with Duane. Like Duane said, the hops didn’t seem as strong as they probably would have had we not just done a side-by-side of Two Hearted and Founders Centennial IPA, but nonetheless, tons of hops here. Not as much malt as I expected for a Double IPA, but this was pretty darn good anyway.

Mar 26, 2006 Off color orange. Bitter and hoppy but not overelly. A little sweetness but overall kind of unremarkable.

Mar 24, 2006 Copper pour smallish white head. Sweet floral hops aroma. Watery on the palate hops and a slight tobaco note in the finish. If this is 10% abv then my tolerance is way up as I didn’t feel too much alcohol presence at all. Decent I2PA.

Mar 22, 2006 Updated: Mar 23, 2006Pours deep copper into a shaker. Micro-bubble head with nice retention, gradual lacing as it recedes. Grapefruit and pine aromas. Upfront sweet thick malt which quickly turns to a lingering bitter hop citrus finish.

Mar 19, 2006 shared a bomber with illini08. we drank this after a side-by-side tasting of Founders Centennial & a Bell’s Two Hearted Ale, so I’m sure the bitterness of this one didn’t seem as harsh as it could have been. but that said, I enjoyed this one. citrus hop bitterness from front to back and while the hops overpowered the malt, there was still enough malt present to be detectable. one year ago I probably would have still been puckered up hours after finishing this one. So I guess its official, I’m a hophead, cause this was very enjoyable!
