Hey look I'm the first person to write a review for this beer at a closed place. Yet another review from yesteryear at the Bistro's 8th annual double ipa festival on February 9, 2008 with Mel. Although I see it was also at the 7th annual one, but I didn't try it/take notes of it. In fact it was at all the DIPA fests it seems going back to the 5th.
Anyways, this was that golden to light amber/orange color of beer, 1/3" white head. Mostly a C pine and grapefruit hop nose to it.
Taste keeps draping the tongue in all that bitter citrus rind. Mouth feel is plenty sticky, thick, almost syrup-esque. Plenty of those caramel notes. Alcohol definitely there, feeling the burn and sting on this. IBUS seem around the 100+ range. Wait, I have the info right here, says its 130 ibus, jeez. There was a lot of good beers had on this day, but this one scored on the low end of the spectrum.
