Always amazing! This sauv blanc is well balanced, with hints of toasty lemongrass with a creamy mouth feel. — 10 years ago
Single hop series, this time with Galaxy bred by those fun-loving Aussies in 1994. I get dank hashish, lemonade, tropical fruit, and freshly mowed lawn. Lightish body and a dry finish, though alcohol contributes a lengthy subtle sweetness. Excellent balance and a pleasure to drink. Galaxy and Nelson are my favorite hops right now; and Noble does them justice; would be educational to taste them side by side. — 11 years ago
A very west coast IPA to the tee, citrusy, piney, a touch of malt to support the nice hops, Magum, Willamette, Casade, Citra, Columbus, Centennial, Chinook, Two Row Vienna Dextrapils malts, Classic style West Coast, One of my home town breweries here in Henderson Nevada, Very good — 9 years ago
Re-review of this classic landmark beer, why? New label, new description on label, this was and still is such a important beer in the craft beer Community, brewed since 1997 and still stands as one of the best IPA' s in the world, Centennial, Chinook and Magnum hops give it that classic base of West Coast IPA, that started the whole IPA movement in other beers and breweries, this was the beer that set the stage for what is now the great IPA 's in the west and east coast, such a monumental and important beer, The influence cannot be understated, still as I said, it holds its place as a great beer today — 9 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
