I think this might have been my first experience with a bad batch. The hop taste was there solidly, with a nice hard hit and excellent bitterness, but about 2/3 of the way through there was a seafoody rotting woody note that ruined the entire experience. It increased as the brew warmed up. Based on what others have to say, I look forward to giving this one another chance. That being said, I'd still rather drink a bad batch of this than a mass-produced crap beer. Bottle.

Outstanding. Smells nice and clean - maybe a little more grassy than hoppy. Taste is really well-balanced. There are certainly hops here, yet they are somewhat mellow. I wouldn't consider this to be a hop bomb as some other DIPA's are. I put this right alongside DFH 90min and Harpoon Leviathan as my favorites for this style.

Strong hop taste with a light fruit finish.

Not as hoppy as anticipated. Somewhat dry. Is a strong beer at 9.5%ABV.

Excellent, well-balanced beer. Nice hop bitterness, without overwhelming. Grapefruit at the front, followed by full-bodied bready malt. Finish is slightly sweet. A definite keeper.

This puckered my taste buds. Had a nice little punch to it, yet smooth as a babies bottom going down le throat. Drink this and become a man NOW.

Great color and aroma. Lot's of bright citrus and pine, but well-balanced and surprisingly drinkable for a 9.5'r. Silky mouth feel & super-tasty. A joy to drink. Well done!

A hazy amber hue with slight white head and a strong piney hop aroma. Complex taste and rich silky mouthfeel. Citrus & pine forward with a slightly fruity finish. Smooth and super hoppy if you're down for a balanced DIPA.
