Apr 19, 2009 Amber pour with a one finger head, minimal retention, no lacings. Aroma of pine and grass. Flavor is not as complex as I was expecting. Not much bitterness, not much sweetness, definite session beer, semi-dry finish. Decent.

Apr 14, 2009 There pines and grapefruit in the aroma and the taste is nicely bitter and malty, the finish is dry. Very sessionable stuff and I simply love to taste a dry hop bomb for a change.

Apr 14, 2009 Bad bottle? Very little aroma. Nothing that has been described before...no citrus, no pine, no floral. It looks like a great beer in my snifter. The flavor is very bitter. The palate is way too light and crisp. Too much carbonation. I’m not biased against east coast IPAs, either - love dogfish head 90. Still its good beer, and if you lined up 12 Coronas and 1 of these...I’d take the Hop Devil in a flash.

Apr 13, 2009 pours a dark amber with lots of carbonation and a small white frothy head. Aroma has piney and floral hops, with malt and caramel as well. Flavor is really nice- hop character is really dark and nice, not like most IPAs. Very tasty beer.

Apr 13, 2009 Pours an amber color with a nice white head. Aroma of pine, hops, grapefruit and flowers. Taste is exactly what you would expect from the aroma - with a nice mouthfeel and perfect carbonation. Great IPA - very, very drinkable.

Apr 13, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 4/13/09, not my first one of these, but I’m re-rating based on this tasting, as I didn’t have a good rating from before
Aroma: Mostly pine, some Citrus hops too
Appearance: Clearish orange-amber color, decent amount of head, and some decent lacing
Flavor: Very hoppy, not overly bitter as some have said, it’s an IPA, it’s got some hops
Palate: Nice mouthfeel, medium body, long lasting finish
Overall Impression:
This seems to be one of those beers that non-hop lovers will like disparage. It’s really quite good though. It’s not too balanced, but who says beers need to be balanced? I don’t mind when the err on the side of hops! A nice hop ale. A crisp, drinkable IPA with a strong hop presence.
