Only 120 precious barrels were brewed, adding more than half a ton of extra malt and twice the amount of Amarillo hops, so prepare your self for a full sensory explosion. The double dry-hop addition elevates the grapefruit-like aroma and flavor to an outrageous intensity, while the added malt raises the alcohol level from 7% all the way to 10% by volume.

Bottle. Thin-headed and orange, this beer’s aromas are like a fruit basket of citrusy hops. Pineapple and grapefruit are the main draws (maybe mango?), but I can pick out some sweet caramel like malt in the background. Hops are a punch to the face as soon as liquid hits lips... and they are sharper than in the nose. Grapefruit and pine come out strong at first, but then malt and sweeter fruits pick up the trail and manage to drive this home. Finish is kind of boozy with quite a bit of pineapple sweetness. This is pretty good, but it is very sweet...

Pour is a clear orange with a soapy white head. Aroma is big time citrus and pine? Check. Flavor is again a strong hop with a huge sweetness that follows. After the swallow there is a nice pine resin left on the tounge and some alcohol is felt the more you drink of it. Still a decent beer and will cure your hop jones.

Draft at the brewpub. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong grassy notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass and hops as well as lighter notes of grapefruit and an alcohol note showing up very late and which also burns lightly in the throat.

Thick and creamy off-white head and a coppery orange body. Sweet, hoppy, and fruity aroma. Hoppy taste at the very front of the beer. It is bitter, but rather smooth for a double. Definitely fruity; citrusy I think. Kind of thick bodied. Really drinkable for the style. Not overkill on the hops.

Pours clear orange color with big off white head. Aroma of sweet grapefriut. Flavor starts sweet and and finishes with mildly bitter hops. Decent IIPA. Medium body with moderate carbonation an a creamy mouthfeel. For the price I would definately buy this again.

Bomber. Aromas of grapefruit citrus and likely a bit of pine. Amber color with a nice white head. Medium to full body with smooth carbonation. Kind of sweet, a touch woody or funky, and some interesting mix of fruit and hop flavors. Finish is pretty dry, and the hop pickles the top of the mouth. A pretty good, perhaps great, DIPA. Drinks well.

Nice story on the label. Appears bubbly viscous and gooey. Dull pine aroma. Terrible raggon medicine. Bitter nasty kah kah. Crude rude and mean. Above average double dose of hops. Burping pine cones. Green grapefruit rinds for a long lingering finish. Good example of the style. Just plain yukky.
