Hazy yellow-orange color with small head. Aroma is very tropical, intense thick hop juice. Taste is juicy hoppy, more tropical fruits and pines, with a rather weak malt body. Feels light, the body is thin, but the bitterness is really strong and tells that this one is a very Imperial IPA. Carbonation is low but present. A very unusual and interesting Double IPA.

Bottle. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Hazy, orangey amber. Thin, lasting, white head. Fusty orange. Pine cone. Pine resin. Ginger biscuit, sweet malts. A bit of black pepper. Taste is light sweet, light, woody dry, and mostly, piny, bitter. Airy, soft, but full palate. Finishes long, dank, fusty bitter. Very nice.

Bottle from GBBF 2014 and drunk at home. Clear gold lasting white head. Well then. It’s a big double ipa from the States, yes. Resiny hop, check. Not quite as fresh as it could be or is that the crystal malt talking? It’s got sticky resiny hops. It’s got decent bitterness. Hop finish is pleasant. Yes an extreme beer but nothing to make it stand out from the other extreme dipas. Hides alcohol quite well but there is some heat on the finish. Decent. But against the style? It is what it is.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours pale gold with a thick white head. Aromas are grapefruit, citrus, big resinous hops. Taste brings more bitternesss and a light touch of caramel at the back. Quite a thin body, bitter finish. Very nice.

Hops evident in the aroma at first pour, and then come on full strength at first taste. Hazy amber body with small silky head. Hoppy astringent aroma, taste of pine sol,caramel, slick mouth feel.

Deep golden color. Pineapples, apples and apricots in the nose. Full bodied, medium sweet, apricot, pineapples and strawberries. Decent bitterness. Decent IIpa but doesn’t do anything so special for me.

8%nice floral herbal aroma . Orange gold color. The taste is great a punch of bitterness followed by floral hop notes. It didn’t strike me as terribly complex but as you drink it you keep noticing different flavors with every other sip: grapefruit, lemon, pine, dank, etc. an impressive multi-layered IPA. Part of the 1000 at AQ Bevolution’s Event at Kamikaze. At Kamikaze I am getting much more dankness in the aroma, resin & weed... The taste is still great biscuity malts with a bitter weedness to it. Again displaying the difference in glassware from a lager glass to a chalice.
