On tap at the brewpub. Sticky resiny hop flavor with a bit of caramel sweetness on the finish. Aroma is grassy piney hops. Delicious and full bodied. A nice debut for the new brewer here.

Dec 24, 2009 On draft from the brewpub. This was the winner of the night from all the beers we tried. Ruby red pour w/ creamy off-white head. Citrus and floral hop aroma. Nice light to medium texture. Strong even bitterness throughout backed up w/ caramel malts. Big fan.

Oct 26, 2009 Draft pint at the Prado brewpub. Beauty of a pour ... Deep muddy orange with a solid pile of foam to top it off. With the first whiff, you know the name is no gimmic ... There’s a ton o’ hops jammed in this. Thick and viscuous, this drinks with a punch to the gut, rich with citric hops and a full up malt basis. Very nice.

Oct 24, 2009 Despite its name and as good as this beer is, I don’t believe anyone will reach the ecstacy implied. The key here is the strong grapefruit smelling hop. It dominates the nose and later the palate. The color is a surprisingly dark amber color. Like all of the beers at Five Seasons, this one has a haze to it.
This beer is all about the hop; although it is strong, it doesn’t make the beer fall into the "extreme" category. My second favorite of the flight of five.

Sep 13, 2009 On tap at Prado. Pours a hazy copper with a small off-white head. Aroma is really great, earthy, citrus, and sweet malt. Solid. Taste is great as well. Lots of citrus hop and simcoe is detectable as well. A very substantial malt backbone. This is one of the best IPAs I’ve had in a long time. Mouth is sticky and full. Very nice.

Aug 4, 2009 Gee, imagine that, it tastes strangely reminiscent of Sweetwater IPA. I wonder why. Strong aromas of Simcoe and Amarillo are immediate. This is a very pleasureable IPA to drink.

Jul 11, 2009 Draft sample at brewpub -Pardo.
Poured a clear dark copper color with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy citrus, earthy and small malt aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
My expectations where met and this is a standout beer.
