Poured an attractive cloudy orange with a persistent off-white head. Smelled citrusy (grapefruity) and clean. Big hoppy, bitter taste. Like a class of spruce needles.

The alcohol content is a bit high and as a result the taste isn’t quite a 10. But man I love the hoppy, some what grapefruit flavor. This beer was a lot hazzier than I had anticipated. Pours golden/orange, slightly opaque. Nice and beautiful head that sticks to sides of the glass and you down another gulp. Fantastic beer overall. fata2683 (899), Panama City, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 14, 2009 Bottle, pours hazy orange with a tall frothy light tan head. Strong Simcoe nose, lightly piney and notes of cannabis. Flavor is full of sweet toasted nuts and bready malts with a pine hop finish that is dry and awesome. This also has a candied pear flavor. This has got to be one of my favorite, DIPA’s! rags2rags (19), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy, almost opaque orange with a large, fluffy off-white head. The aroma is great: floral, hoppy, and tantalizing. The taste really matches it; The bitter hops hit the tongue hard with a wonderful woody flavor and linger on the tongue but eventually give way to citrus and caramel notes. I highly recommend this beer to anyone who loves hops. shawn14505 (36), Rochester, New York, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 11, 2009 This is damn near DIPA perfection as far as I have ever tasted. Wow. The aroma is unbelievable. You are first hit with such a sweet whiff of hops and flowers that you believe that you are actually smelling a hop vine. The frist taste is pure hop head bliss. The use of only a single hop to get this flavor is pure genius. I could drink this all day everyday. Uncommonly good. patrickfannon (348), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 5, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Pours deep, cloudy orange with a half-finger, quickly fading off-white head. Aroma of hops, pine, oranges, grapefruit, honey, and hints of kiwi. Fuller bodied with a very strong, slightly bitter mouthfeel. Nice finish. Excellent double IPA. alassio (19), USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 3, 2009 I was in Tampa in October and while trying to find something halfway decent there and got one of these. It was so incredibly delicious, that I figured I must have been desperately beer-starved at the time and had lost all perspective. Then I came home to Wisconsin and found it at Woodmans, and it is still incredibly delicious, time and time again. It’s been a month now, it is still a grand delight at every sip, and it still kind of semi-trounces all my old standards (Stone Ruination, Bells Hopslam, Victory Hop Wallop, Tyranena Hop Whore). This is a beautiful, beautiful beer. nimbleprop (924), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA

Pours a translucent copper, amber with a lacing white head. Aroma of oranges, herbs, flowers. Flavor is well balanced, caramel sweetness, citrus fruits, earthy. Bitter, slightly sticky finish.
