22oz bottle. thanks to SDbruboy for this one. I think this was bottled 1-2 months ago. pours hazy dull gold with white head. the hop aroma has faded considerably, some faint citrus and green hop notes while the biscuity malt is comes through. flavor is still pretty bitter but the hop flavor has become muddled a bit, a greeny citrus and piney profile that is sharp but not extremely fresh and lively. either its the hops or the carbonation but it seems a bit prickly. med body. tasty but i can’t wait to re-rate a fresher bottle next year.3.4.

bottle, very fresh 2008 sample that i enjoyed quite a bit more than my previous rating, nose of lime, citrus, and green, flavors of green, citrus and orange. a very citrusy wet hop beer.3.7.

Cloudy orange color with amazing head and lacing. Perfect amount of hops with the malt sweetness playing along nicely. Not watery or metallic. Has a stand up flavor that is earthy and sweet and hoppy. A bit soapy but totally worth it!

Large white head, excellent retention, starts out normally then turns into a rocky inviting lump. Lacing is coating. Clear gold color. Fruity nose of citrus, grapefruity and peachy. Medium bodied, lightly oily on the palate. Pleasent fruit flavors, citrus, nicely tropical and melony with some caramel maltiness hanging in there. An almost dry fruity finish, good hop bite. Thanks to dirty_martini and SDbruboy for bombers of this groovy elixer. Thanks guys!

Thanks to hellbilly for this treat! pours gold and hazy with a small amount of lacing, and short lived head. Nice grapefruit & citrus aroma. fresh hop flavor with traces of malts. flavorful yeast sediment in the bottom of the glass. sweet mouth-feel bittersweet finish. nice balance!

Shared by Crizay. Golden yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma of sticky hops, grapefruit and pine. Fresh hop flavor and a bit of malt to back it up. Good body and mouthfeel. Nice, clean IPA.
