Nice but not overpowering aroma of earthy hops, with a touch of floral and spice to balance it lingers over top this medium golden, hazy beer with a very nice head. The taste was again a nice balance of various hop flavors, with the earthy and spicy flavors leading the way, with a bit of fruitiness on the aftertaste. Could use just a bit more malt, or even some more alcohol to balance out the hops. But very enjoyable!

Mar 10, 2010 Tap at Sweet Afton. Pours copper with a fizzy off-white head. Aroma has citrus hops balanced by some nice caramel malt. Flavor is more hoppy, both citrus and pine, with yeast and coriander. The finish is sweet of malt, yeasty, and a bit chewy. A bit more attention to the spice would have taken this to another level.

Feb 14, 2010 Has a great pour with a subtle off white foam head that sits tight around the rim. The aroma is hoppy and earthy with hints of dried fruit. The color is dark brown with reddish tints.

Feb 12, 2010 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Hazy dark amber orange with flat white and lace. Overripe spicy orange and bready malt aroma. Sweet honey overripe orange grassy woody with fairly assertive lingering bitter finish. Non-descript overly juicy hop bomb. Decent enough, but not a top IPA.

Feb 4, 2010 Interesting bottle label, and this one pours a nice orange/copper color with modest head. Nose is ripe with hops, miscellaneous hops, and can’t clearly label a particular fruit or two. Great sweet citrus flavors on the palate without a lot of malt to balance. Very big and juicy IPA.

Feb 1, 2010 12oz bottle. Pours a glowing hazy orange amber with a frothy tan head. Odd mix of PNW hops, weird piney spruce, green but richly earthy. Bitter, very tannic, super bitter, mango, light fruit, pine, cotton candy, tea finish. Medium bodied, sugary, light fluffy spread-out carbonation.

Jan 29, 2010 aroma is seaweed, pine and salty tangerine. pour is translucent burnished amber with low carb, poor head retention and zero lacing. flavor is lemon/lime and filthy resin. good bitterness on sides of tounge. definately the junior version double simcoe in terms of flavor scale

Jan 26, 2010 Tap and cask at Rattle n Hum. I’ve had this beer on cask and draft and I far prefer it on draft. On cask, the bitterness is much more mellowed. Almost like a hoppy juice. On draft, the hops are more potent. A nice, sticky mouthfeel with decent carbonation. Very little carbonation with the cask version. A solid beer overall, but more so on draft. It is worthwhile to compare the two, though. but if you’re a pure hop-head stick with draft.
