This is an awesome IPA that lives up to the hype. Big citrus, big hops, big ABV that is well hidden with the addition of honey sweetness. Masterpiece beer
2013 Update
Just had my first bottle of the 2013 version. Bottled on 1/15/2013. Still has that same sunset orange I have come to expect with my IPAs. Aroma is good but not nearly as enjoyable as I remembered. Taste wise, the bitterness is not as balanced and that honey added to hide the ABV seems to be lacking in this batch. I have heard mixed reviews about the 2013 version and it appears that I got part of the less than stellar batch. No where close to as good as remembered. Rather disappointed considering I dropped a little more than $20 for my 6 pk. Maybe I am just jaded now since I have been drinking Russian River, Alpine and Kern River IPAs pretty regularly lately. I am sure that I will have one next yr so hopefully it will win me over again.

Overrated, but decent. One of the better 'over-the-top-hops' beers.

HOPS HOPS AND MORE HOPS! But wow does that sweet alcohol taste shine through on the finish! Buy a 6pk for $16-$18 anywhere and see if u can handle those hardcore hopdevil!!!

Very nice double IPA, consider it my favorite currently. Has a very nice citrus taste, well balanced bitter and sweetness, some but not over powering pine taste
