Surprisingly, I kinda liked this despite my aversion to overly-hopped beers. The nose is a straight up hop-bomb - floral, citrusy, piney. The palate's also full-on, with heaps of hoppy bitterness, but balanced by malty sweetness and tropical fruit notes (passionfruit and mango for me). Finishes crisp and earthy. Not bad, but not my kind of beer (not an IPA fan basically). — 7 years ago

Drinking the 2008 in 2018. Deep dark rich color with excellent clarity. Dense rich nose. Raspberry, cherry and pepper. Very BIG flavor, rich with cassis, raspberry and earth. Low tannins and a balanced smooth finish. Wonderful wine! — 8 years ago

One of the best double IPA. Only this IPA can be compared to Pliny the Elder. — 11 years ago
Wine Nerd herd virtual tasting of various vintages from 90s, 00s and 10s - mine was the 2013 - 88% CS, 8% PV, 3% merlot and 1% CF from various vineyards in the valley floor region - four hour decant - this is less fruit than you would expect but certainly an amazing wine - Napa finest at a modernist style Bordeaux blend - nose was rich with tobacco leather cocoa and forest floor - heavy to medium body yet the wine was soft because the fruit was muffled - mid palette with black blue and red fruits - orange peel cinnamon and sweet silky tannins integrated nicely - this could easily go 30 more years but not sure it will get better so if willing to decant and maybe even double decant for an afternoon this wine is ready for being paired with a cowboy bone in rib eye steak and will not let you down - truly an enjoyable experience as was all vintages tasted last night - HUGE SMILES — 6 years ago

Malty with just the right amount of sweetness. Thicker than I usually like, but not overpowering. Bavaria! — 8 years ago

One of the most overhyped beers ever! — 10 years ago
Great wine with roasted chicken. On the sweeter side of most Oregon Pinot Gris, enough acidity to hold up. Well made, love it for the money! — 10 years ago

Very dark, but smooth and bubbly and not as heavy as it appears. Tasty and easy to drink like a lager with notes of chocolate. — 12 years ago

Excellent affordable blend. Extremely drinkable. Low alcohol and blended very well. Minimal nose with a quick smooth fruit beginning. Surprised by this juice. Get you a bottle. Excellent value. — 6 years ago

Excellent Wine. Subtle sweat and sour taste.. Very interesting. — 7 years ago
Very enjoyable, found this very bold in the first taste and mellowed out towards the finish which was very smooth. Fruity and balanced. — 7 years ago
My favorite non-nitro stout. Flavor notes are perfect and well balanced. It’s what stouts of this variety should aspire to be — 8 years ago

Deep rich, cherries, some underlying pepper. Dry, balanced tannins. A keeper, especially at this price. — 5 years ago
