You're in no position to call anyone out. Nobody knows what you're saying anyway.

My claims are not unfounded. Russian River uses GMO grain...Unless labeled USDA Organic there is no guarantee that genetic modification of a product has not happened. Corn sugar adjunct is most likely derived from GMO corn products.
Dude. You were told by a Cargill rep who supplies RR with their malt along with Vinnie himself that there are no GMOs in the beer. You were also wrong with all of your other accusations. And you were also a jerk about it.

You're acting like a fool, and you know nothing about good beer. I haven't heard you say one good thing about anything ever. The IPA was bitter? Waaa. If you don't like bitter then don't drink IPAs.
 
It was just too much for me to "enjoy" it was more like an experience I can cronical in my memoirs rather than just a casual happening

Things that happened I will never forget;

1 horrible car crash of 1990

2 Bunge jump off dingo pass

3 taint piercing dare

4 Ruination 10th anniversary

But then I am not a huge fan of the macabre or extreme

I like curvy woman, but I am not going to double down on some big ol fatty

I like spicy food, but I am not going to sit around eating ghost chili thinking about how hardcore I am.

When does a big ***** cross the line from nice, to amazing, to wtf to, ohgod, gross! The same is true with hot stuff, at some point it’s just pain. Where is the line for IBUs, some folks nomatter the level will say it’s great it’s a point of macho pride, but for methis is just too much..This beer is like a fat chick covered in ghost chili sexsauce, just too damn much of a good thing.

However if I get back out to San Diego I would try it again in the dead ofwinter that may help.

You're Not Worthy!!

Still drinking good. Picked up the last one at my local bottle shop today for $6.29
Nice & tipsy after just a few sips :drunk: but the best attribute is the flavor; though I would like less toasty crystal.

Very good, but I'm still yearning to smell this from 4 feet away like my Homebrewed IIPAs!!!

wow@! 12 bucks here.:( Certainly enjoying a well priced 2012 SN tumbler though. I have a thing to say about it(tumbler) though,i didnt like it last year like the year before but do like it more this year than last year.Its kinda pineyer than before and "brownisher". Just though id share. Pretty early for autum release but good intentions with the insane hot unseasonable weather dead -mid summer. Maybe the beginning of August should be autumn the way this year is going.

I had it the week it came out. It had one of the biggest and best hop aromas I've ever smelled. I still have a few bottles left, and while it's still good, it's not what it was a month and a half ago.
 
I could definitely smell it when I had the beer in my mouth, but the aroma from the glass was not as potent as most of my homebrewed IIPAs. The hop flavor was certainly potent though.
 
I got a bottle of this today. Unless the OP had a mishandled bottle, he is nuts. As soon as I opened the bottle I was hit with a FANTASTIC hop aroma. After pouring into the glass I took my first sip. I was immediately hit with a great mix of resiny and citrusy hop notes. The malt character was definitely present, and balanced the beer nicely but the hops were still the star and stood way out front. This beer definitely finished bitter, but no NEARLY as bitter as I was expecting. I've had a number of beers that were waaaaaaaay more bitter than this one. Lastly, the alcohol is noticeable and warm, but this beer is not even remotely boozy. This is an absolutely fantastic DIPA. No complaints here. Especially because it only cost me $9.62 including tax. I know the manager of the store I bought it from too, and they definitely know how to handle beer.
 
Just had this myself. I noticed the alcohol in aroma and taste more as it was cold(not harsh though),which was gone upon warming.It was fruit(tangerine) pine forward hop with carmel sweetness,soft malty, with a quick piney bitter finish with lingering pine/grapefruit flavor. Slight salty. Some candy bubblegum as it warms which kinda reminded me of a ruination(duh) which i havent had it a while. Guess this was too cold when I was deciding it not one of my favorate doubles but its pretty close my top doubles for me. Yeah this was less good cold.Probably should be drank around 45-55? Kinda pricey. I was gonna skip it but the liquor store owner advised I get it because it just came in and was going quick-glad i tried it and got it while available. The aroma intensity didnt seem as intense as many ipa's or doubles ive had but it was a good strong obvious hop aroma nonetheless.
