Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

12 oz. Bright golden pour, fairly clear. Little white head. Great hop aroma with a little sweet malt. Taste is incredibly balanced hop and sweet malt profile. Little biscuit, yellow raisin peeks through, then is immediately matched by the piney hops, very little citrus really. Slightly bubbly light medium body. Very interesting clean double IPA. Da
UPDATED: MAR 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep golden, and appetizing, color - nice medium white head. Aroma is very piney and hoppy, not too much sweetness within the smell. Taste is wonderful hoppy and earty tones. Not as much citrus and sweet notes per usual DIPA. - nice hoppy bite. Very, very good DIPA.
Bottle: Pale golden pour with a light haziness. Thin beige head and tons of sheet lacing. Aroma is rich and citrus filled. Taste is full of citrus and floral hops and a smooth, malty sweetness. Lingering florals in the tail. An excellent version of the style. Thanks cpferris.
