Continual hopping during boil gives our Double IPA tons of hop flavor and aroma. Pine and citrus notes are backed by rich malt base

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Pours with a hazy golden body and an off-white head. Aroma of table sugar, tangerine and other citrus. Taste is pine, sugar, bitterness, and a little bit of straight hop resin. Light bubbles. Bot amazing, but not bad either.

(Cask) Poured deep amber and hazy with medium sized and white head. Aroma was mainly fruity. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Beer tasted of malts, hops, fruitiness, bitterness, molasses and sweetness. Finished malty.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Down Beach Liquors, 8/24/09, bottle was 8.5% ABV
**Just added the Commercial Description, it was funny, and so I thought it needed to be on this site.
Aroma: Fairly muted, not much hops here unfortunately, some citrus, light, but not bad
Appearance: Hazy orange-brown color, about an inch of lasting off-white head, quite a bit of lacing on the glass as well
Flavor: Flavor is mostly bitter hops with some slightly off citrus flavors that just don't work quite right
Palate: Nice medium-full body, creamy and solid mouthfeel, just a touch of alcohol burn
Overall Impression: With as many good ones as there are out there (every brewery is making hop bombs these days), if your trying to make a IIPA, you've got to do better then this...
I really felt that this beer was just a bit lacking, from the subdued nose to the flavor that was decent, but just a bit off, this beer just doesn't quite hit the mark. Even from a style I love, and a great looking beer, with a nice body and mouthfeel, it just wasn't everything it could have been. Have to admit, it grew on me just a touch as I drank it (probably had the taste at a 5 after half the beer), so maybe it would grown on me more if I have it again? Solid and drinkable, but not a top notch DIPA.
