Murky dark amber color with a cotton candy nose. Full bodied. Caramel, cotton candy, grapefruit and candy apples all grace the mouth. Moderately sweet with a nice bitter finish.

Bottle from Lone Hill Liquors in Glendora, CA. This beer is a hazy yellow-orange color with a medium thick and fluffy eggshell white head. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is citrusy and piney hops with malt undertones. Medium body with piney hops at the forefront and notes of grapefruit and sweet malt. The finish is moderately bitter hops with a lingering bitterness. Good all around.

Hazy amber coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of strong hops, malt and alcohol. Very full bodied - chewy mouthful; Strong as hell, with alcohol coming through most of all. Very strong hops in the taste with an overly bittered hop flavour and a good malt backbone. Aftertaste bittered from the hops of course. Overall, good throughout and definitely nice to try! I sampled this beer on draught at Henry’s 12th St Tavern in Portland, Oregon on 09-September-2006.

Bottle: Dark, dusty straw/golden color with a large off-white head. Thick sheets of clumpy lacing. Nose is a dry floral hoppyness with light citrus. Flavor is fruity of citrus and mango into a full-on intense hop whallop. Tons of florals come through to dominate with very little sweetness. Lingering bitters, but not overly bitter. Just pure hop dominance. The tip of my tongue feels like it was scalded by the hop massacre. And I loved every bit of it!

Tap @ Higgins, Portland. Clear golden color, beautiful head. Aroma of grapefruit and pine. Very bitter and quite sharp taste. Good stuff.

Pours hazy light orange with white head. Light citrus hop aroma overpowered by sweet maltiness. Flavor is a nice balance between bitter citrus hops and sweet malts. Medium body with low carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel. Ver nice. Definately for those who like a sweeter, maltier DIPA.

22 ounce bottle from my Secret Santa. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy peach color with minimal head. Malty aroma with notes of grain and caramel. Slight floral hop aroma. Grainy and honey sweet malt taste with an earthy, slightly sweet, non-bitter hop presence with caramel notes. Full bodied.

22oz bomber pours a translucent, yellow, orange with a clumping slightly off white head. Aroma of oranges, grapefruit, flowers, spice and pine. Flavor has very developed citrus fruits like freshly squeezed orange juice, grapefruits, lemons and a little bit of sweetness almost like can sugar. Very drinkable despite a strong bitter finish. Pretty good, the distinct citrus flavors on the tongue set this apart a bit.

22oz Bottle at Stone. Pours with a small, white head covering a chill hazed yellow body (a bit more cloudy with the yeast toward the end of the bottle). Amazing pine and grapefruit aroma with a bit of toffee. Taste is a nice balance of hops and malts that explodes into toffee flavors towards the finish. Creamy mouthfeel, good level of carbonation.
