"This is a pretty good IPA. It pours a thick amber with a big foam head. The smell is of bitter hops. The taste is great. Just a little lacking in depth. This is a great California beer."

[2] Review by Vac from San Diego, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/4/2007 4:20:00 PM)
"Pours with a Golden -Orange body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s hoppy as hell with nice pine and grapefruit notes and an underlying maltiness. Medium bodied, oily yet dry and a touch warming."

"Tasted at the 5th Annual Bistro 2XIPA Fest. Medium orange color. Small head. Aroma is malty, orange and floral. Lots of buttery flavors. A medium bodied Imperial IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. A touch of orange and grapefruit. Lots of buttery flavors. Hops are piney, citrusy and grapefruity. Touch of alcohol bite/oiliness. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. OK, but a slight off taste. "

[4] Review by Flashpro from Media, PA, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/19/2005 10:43:51 PM)
"I had a sample of this at the brewpub and I have to say it was a little tough to rate. It had some butterscotch flavor to it and I'm not sure if that's a mistake lead infenction or an interesting intention. In my opinion, it tasted pretty good. Being such a strong and hoppy beer, it was nice to have the added sweetness that went along with that. The nicest aspect to this bear was the amazing orange-gold color and beautiful lacing. I couldn't resist from giving it a 10. I'd like to try this beer again but I don't know if we'll ever see it bottled."
