I had this at Wasena Tap House in Roanoke, VA. This version of this beer that I had was a "Nitro" version. It was creamy and good - great mouthfeel. The flavor was a combination of floral and citrus hops - the aroma mirrored the hope profile. Hints of bread. Very nice beer.

Opaque orange yellow with big fluffy lasting lacing foam head. Aroma is strong hoppy. Taste is truly bitter. Aftertaste is long lasting. (Salt Lake City 201308)

Last of my Utah beers from SLC, from wife's work trip. Orange amber big ass pour, tall white head, lots of lacing throughout. BIG hops all over, in the nose, on the palate, in the linger. Citrus, pine, earthy floral all there. Then some honeysuckle and honey sweet. BIG IIPA. Very big. Needed to share this bomber... My wife doesn't like IPAs; her loss, my gain. My bitter linger too... Wow. My palate is now wrecked. 'Til tomorrow...

The initial aroma was a little behind Goose Juice, which we had just had, but it opened up very nicely. Good balance between malt and a melange of tropical fruit and bitterness in the flavor. Maaaybe a little more malt heavy than i prefer, but the tropical flavors dancing across your tongue were cool enough to get over that real quick. Nice bittersweet, slightly fruity finish. Easy drinking for 9%.

How could I forget this brew? Had it out of the bottle twice in one day! Once at the brewery and once at home. Golden/orange. Fluffhead. Plenty of carbonation, bordeline too much. Piney, grapefruit and sticky icky hops. Flavors equivalent, little more sweet caramel undertones with a fruity finish.

Long drawn out bitterness that really helps keep this IPA interesting. The rest of the story is fairly standard: Citrus and pine with a medium caramel and biscuit base. Copper pour, lasting off white head and decent lacing.

Oooooh yeah boyeeeeeee double IPAs! This poured an orange color with a white head. The aroma is very piney with some oranges, lemons, apricots even, and some perfume too. The flavor is very bitter with some lemons and oranges. There is a good malt presence to counteract the bitter. Overall a damn fine IIPA!

Pours orange with lots of floaty sediment and a low white head ring. Decent lacing. Aroma is citrus and dirt. Mouth is sweet on top with a hoppy back. Interesting to try once.

A recent find on a trip to Salt Lake City, and a worthy find at that. A golden orange pour that is less cloudy than most DIPAs. Citrus and caramel dominate the aroma with some pine in the mix. Flavour is well balanced. Good malty sweetness up front followed by the grapefruity hoppy finish. Not as hoppy as other DIPAs.

22oz bottle, Release # 10 brewed on November 11, 2010. Pours a hazy dark straw color with a medium creamy white head that retains fairly well and laces the glass.

The aroma is floral hops, lemoney citrus with a slight sour twang.

The flavor is sweet bready malts and floral hops with some citrus and a bit of an off note - leather? The finish is high in bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low smooth carbonation.

Overall, an OK DIPA. The flavors and smell just didn't jive for me. It seemed to have some notes that I can't place that I just didn't care for.
