From the bottle "2 humans and 1 canine companion are relatively happy with the results" well make that 3 humans and really, what else do you need? a good beer and a good dog. Now maybe my knucklehead 50 lb 6 month old puppy will be a great dog and take care of my girls soon.

Getting serious, this beer is made with my favorite malts (Maris Otter) and Centennial and Simcoe hops, my favorite hop combo, yes try Port High Tide, one of the best IPA's on the planet.

Beautiful copper amber look. Best before 12/4/13 so I dont really know exactly how old this is, from the aroma I'll guess brewed 12/4/11, 7-8 months old. Doesn't matter, the aroma is refined, but the taste just pops, bitter grapefruit, bitter orange, tons of hops on a gorgeous caramel, toffee malt base. Finishes dry, bitter, with even some butterscotch malt on the last sip. Lingers forever, love that.

Outstanding. Unique. Enjoyed 2, went back and got the last two on the shelf. $2.99 per single Whole Foods Plymouth Meeting, where great beer meets great value. If this beer is indeed 7-8 months old, just proves my point, a great IPA will last a good long time.

One of my favorite doubles, one kick ass hardcore beer.
