(Bottle at a beer tasting in Göteborg on July 4, 2008)
Shady orange color, off-white head. Sticky, green, hoppy to cheeze scent. Bitter, fruity taste. Big bitter lingering aftertaste. Smooth a bit moussy mouthfeel. Big bitterness. Warming alcohol in the stomach.

Mar 19, 2010 Draught. Pale ever so slightly hazy copper with some white head. Great floral hop aroma. Smooth creamy palate with gentle carbonation. Flavour dominated by hops all the way from the first taste to the finish. Some fruitiness in the start and plenty of hoppy bitterness in the finish. Overall a great IPA but lacks in subtlety.

Mar 19, 2010 12 oz bottle from Premier Gourmet in Buffalo, served in an English pint glass. Pours a hazy amber-orange with a small off-white head. Head mostly fades but leaves some lace. Aroma is powerful high-alpha hops, with notes of citrus, pine and flowers. Grain also present, with some spice and a hint of yeast. Flavour begins with a medium-roasted caramel sweetness but quickly becomes intensely bitter through the middle. Bitterness grows towards a long, primarily bitter finish. On the palate, medium in body with a slightly oily texture and soft carbonation. If this brew is about anything, it’s about hops. Hops are beautifully complex and intensely bitter (95 IBU). A good effort is made to balance these hops, but it’s almost a futile task with so much hops. 2010-03-17

Mar 18, 2010 A flash of satisfaction becomes reality when this brew hits the pallate. Hoppy bountys explore your mouth while hidden malts settle in softly. Smell is rose bud hoppy with extracts of cinder mixed in. Call it what you will, but this is a great brew. Enjoy!
