Cellar Dweller - March 7, 2015Delicious bitter grapefruit followed by a syrupy honey sweetness. Really nice DIPA!
Losse - March 6, 2015Nice and hoppy, but without destroying the mouth. Crisp, very clean tasting, almost impressively so. Nice mid tongue hit, but extremely smooth and dangerous. Great deep yellow color. Would be very interested to try it on tap.
Homer's Beer Odyssey - February 20, 2015APPEARANCE - 3FH that lasts, light, clear, amber.
AROMA/SCENT - Hops, malts, fruit, citrus, raisin.
TASTE - Hops, bitter, yeast, sweet, nutty, pine.
MOUTHFEEL/PALATE/TEXTURE - Decent carbonation, dry, smooth, lingering, warming.
VALUE - $9.00 for a 12-oz. draft. Average.
OVERALL/DRINKABILITY - Quaffable, ABV well-hidden.
jgraves - February 19, 2015I don't get the hype. Has a creamy mouthfeel which is unique for an IPA, but I burped up flavors that I would rather not burp up - namely cat piss and Christmas trees. The first sip was fun for the hop bite and balance but I found myself struggling to enjoy the last half of the bottle. Glad I tried it but only three stars for me.
rj.gilbert - February 13, 2015Good beer but WAY overrated. Enjoy By and RuinTen both beat this. So does Sculpin and Head Hunter.
