A very good red IPA, complex hop profile, Nelson, Simcoe, Mosaic, 3 of my favorite hops, so I do really enjoy this because in fits my flavor hop profile, but being unbiased, it is very good in the style, for me it is excellent, might be too hoppy for some, great beer — 10 years ago

Fantastic hop-forward DIPA. Pithy, herbal, resinous, with notes of mint and juniper—this stands out from many high ABV IPAs in really showcasing the hops. Comparable to Nelson in overall quality. — 11 years ago

The eagle has landed! A nearly perfect wine. San Diego all the way. I want to drink this every day for the rest of my life. Graceful. Playful. Delicate. I want more. (Good thing I have a full case...) #magnum — 12 years ago

The watermelon flavor is amazing - out of all fruit-flavored beers I've tried, this tastes the most like it should. More of a novelty beer than a session drink though. — 10 years ago

Initial taste felt sweet but then turned very complex and almost spicy. Had a little bit of a burn in the after taste. Very enjoyable. — 10 years ago

This beer makes me want to take an UberX in the middle of a weekday to the nearest liquor store in San Francisco and toss one of these back standing in the aisle gnoshing on a triple size Tabasco Slim Jim while the store owner screams at me to pay for it. I love the combination of a fully hopped IPA with a darker ale backbone. Truly a double but not overwhelming. Yet again, another killer IPA from San Diego. Quite possibly my absolute al time favorite. — 11 years ago

Citrus, light biscuity malt. Noble hop flavors. Lingering soapiness and a bit of sour sauvignon blanc quality. Light body, dry (FG 1.006). Good, balanced, though not especially remarkable for me. — 11 years ago
