Just over 1500 bottles were made; it was fermented and aged for four months in French oak, from centennial vineyard - very elegant, with nice balance, multi layered with few fruit notes, it delivers nice intensity - well I could get a few more bottles to stock in my cellar :) — 10 years ago

Let me this clear as possible, Ballast Point Brewery is one of the Best breweries on the west coast, there is nothing they do that is not great to outstanding, this one is great, what over shadows it is "Sculpin" which is Outstanding, so this seems not as good, but please do not be so quick to judge, this one holds up to the style 100%, it is a excellent west coast IPA, big big Centennial hops, maybe some Columbus, seems there is some debate on that, no matter, it had a great Carmel back bone that balances the great hops, it is one beer that stands on its own, Great stuff — 10 years ago

Warning!!! This beer lives up to its name, new 2015 release, 150 IBU's , 9.5% ABV, this is only for real hop heads, big Columbus and Centennial Hops, little, and I mean little tropical fruit, what you really taste is a insane about of bitterness, like sucking on a grapefruit, tea and herbal notes as well, as for me I Love it, but I am a hop head, rating this beer in the style, and of course the name, this will wreck your pallet, make this the last beer after others if you are session beers, Great Beer — 10 years ago

When drinking back to back with the Stags Leap I just didn't like this one as much. A little thin and acidic for me. — 11 years ago

A very yummy Pinot. It has great spice through it which provides great depth to this wine — 12 years ago

This comes out every year from January till April, or when it sells out, and it always does, my all time favorite from this brewery, big double, borders on triple this year IPA, this one is just so big in the many west coast hops, I.B.U. are 90, AVB 9.5% Outstanding tropical and citrus notes, Almost perfect Double IPA, as it warms up, the AVB's kick in, last few years in was lower, 9%, but the hops this year, which they call Experimental Hops, Millennium, Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, are not anymore, but the combination of these hops are Awesome , and because it is brewed super fresh. and dry hopped, this is just one beer, one IPA, no hop head should not have, if you do not, you are a fool, Great, Great beer — 10 years ago
