Enjoyit (1697), Vadum, Denmark May 29, 2009 Pale golden of color with a white foamy head. An aroma of hops, citrus, grapefruit and weak sweets. A flavor of sweet malt, hops, citrus, grapefruit and nice bitter finish. Alasdair (76), New Zealand May 29, 2009 Like being repeatedly smacked in the head with a tin of dole pineapple. Awesome. mrhoppy (209), Santa Clara, California, USA May 28, 2009 The aroma is on point! Has all the characteristics of a big IPA that I like but there is something missing but I can’t figure it out. Almost perfect. topherh (892), Kearney, Missouri, USA May 27, 2009 Bomber. Pours orange with a white head. Lots of grapefruitty hops in the nose. Flavor is hoppy, malty and bitter to the end. Excellet IPA anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden May 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a small white head. Has a malty hoppy bitter grapefruit aroma with some piney hints. Malty hoppy bitter grapefruit flavor. Has a long malty hoppy bitter finish with nice grapefruit in the aftertaste. Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA May 26, 2009 22 oz bottle. Perfect pour -- orange-copper color, just-opaque, with a perfectly rolling head. The aroma is also a winner -- equal parts good ol’ malt "beer smell" and glorious citrusy hops. This drinks with an almost-thick resiny consistency, with a muscled hoppy character and sweet malt backdrop. Very, very well put-together brew. (#3554, 5/26/2009) asedzie (453), San Francisco, California, USA May 22, 2009 Bottle. Big piney hops in the aroma, along with biscuity malt and a hint of citrus. Tremendously full and mellow mouthfeel. Flavor has well balanced bitter and sweet flavors. Finishes with slew of citrus, pine and mild herbal flavors, long lingering bitterness and hop oils. Obviously very well made. The bold finish was unparalleled among ipas I’ve tried. IMO not as much flavor in the middle as Two-Hearted ale. joelcuts (3), USA does not count May 20, 2009 22oz bomber of ale smith ipa. Poured into a tulip glass. Aroma is the best part of this beer. Smells of citrus and hops with a slight malt or breadiness. Large white head that slowly breaks down if at all. Strong grapefruit flavor with a bitter finish. One of my favorite IPA’s.
