Sweet malty flavor that is so perfectly balanced by the aggressive dry hop flavor

Strong hoppy, bitter taste; medium copper color

Nice hop aroma and taste Clean finish Definitely " ruins" your palate for trying another beer for a while

Excellent IPA; reminds me of 90 min., but with more floral notes.

HOPHEADS REJOICE! This extremely bitter, very dry double IPA has everything someone on a quest for palate destruction would want. Ever since tasting, I've become addicted and now am on the hunt for even hoppier, more bitter brews. If you're feeling bold give it a try, but be warned only those worthy of this beer will enjoy.

Very hoppy. Very bitter. Strong acidy finish. Tastes like the Great Lakes double ipa but better. Strong!

Strong! Not super hoppy strong though. I think many IPAs have faint fruit smell/ tastes. Not this. It's good but damned strong. The label describes it well.

Good, perhaps even great if I want something very bitter. VERY dry and bitter hop flavors, pallet wrecking comes to mind.

Dark golden color, thick head. Fantastic aroma of citrus and hops. Not typical IPA cascade hopping- research shows Columbus and Centennial. As an IPA lover, this ranks up with the best. Strong flavor but not over powering. Good malts. Can't wait for the next sip, next bottle

This is going to piss off the sheep, but I liked it more than pliney
