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. A straightforward double IPA. Orange-amber body below an modest off-white head. Aroma is mostly citrus — grapefruit and orange with some resin. Behind that is light malty honey-like sweetness. The flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet, but turns moderately bitter on the back of the tongue along with a slight plasticy flavor. Alcohol also apparent in the dry finish. Medium to full body with a slightly sticky texture.

Bottle Pours a hazy golden oprange wth a small off white quicj\kly dissipating head. Lots of citrusy grapefruit hop aroma nd some sweet carmely slightly wet cardboard malts on the nose as well. Flavor is not exactly a sensory explosion. a bit sweet, fairly bitter and a bit underwelming. The lingering bitterness in the trailer made up for some of it. More late hops would do this wonders I think Under carbonated as well. .Possibly an old bottle here. I haven’t had a 10% IPA this quafable though in a long time.

Light bronze colour. Grapefruit, wood, cedar, maybe even ginger. Somewhat thin for the style - maybe the thinnest I’ve had yet. The hop bitterness is mellow but it’s the main component here. Some nice fruity character but lacks the malt to back it up.

Light orange with a small ring of froth - strong amarillo aroma, with some light grass, herbs, and pine - a bit thin on the palate for such a strong beer, but the alcohol is well-hidden - lightly sweet malt profile; this is a fairly dry IIPA - crisp, earthy and herbal - not a lot of distinct flavors happening here aside from the hops - I like amarillo hops a bunch, but I could use a little more going on behind them - pretty thin and uninteresting, even for a "regular" IPA - the alcohol starts becoming very evident as it warms, and the burn starts making it difficult to drink - I’m pretty sure I’m done with this brewery.

22 oz bomber poured deep gold with thin white head. It smells like wedges of grapefruit sitting on a bed of pine needles. Behind that there’s some sweet malt mixed with the grapefruit to create a sweet orange candy aroma. The flavor seems to be bitter pine and grapefruit hops that slowly sweeten to about midway. Then the bitterness builds but doesn’t get too out of control. The more of this beer I consume the more the grapefruit shines through.

Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Inn in North Huntington PA this beer poured a bright golden color with a very small white head. The aroma was strong fruity, piney and spicy hops. The flavor was strong sweet citric and piney hops. The hops are crisp and burst upon the tongue. The finish is long, crisp and a bit spicy. The beer hides the alcohol content very well.

Not bad, but it shows some of the inherent flaws of the style. Pours with abig piney/resiny hop nose, with afternotes of sweat, and just a hint of grapefruit. The flavor starts off smooth and soft with a light juicy malt, hop flavors lightly spicy and musky but subdued, but then a strong finishing bitterness. The malts seemed light at first and became noticeably watery as the beer warmed, equalling a hop juice. Needs heft. Golden color with a big white head and long lacing.
