4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber. Pours a glowing slightly hazy orange with much sediment and a thick rocky off white head. Aroma is very fresh and citric, nice hop oils, juicy fruits, mango, pineapple, grapefruit all well balanced with very sweet caramel. Flavor starts with a quick hop bite and stays zesty and hoppy throughout, very fresh tasting along with the excellent piney character that keeps the citric aspect in check. Excellent sweet character stays present throughout but in the background giving an amazing balance. Finishes pleasantly bitter, not too much, not too little. Medium body and a light but sharp carbonation. Awesome IPA, I love two hearted but this is awesome

Golden coloured and hazy. Aroma is very hoppy, pine, citrus, passion-fruit, and a bit of malt...perhaps. Flavor is heavy bitter. Dry texture. Lively carbonation.

Pours a cloudy orange with some sediment and a nice airy off-white head that flattens in about a minute. Laces all the way to the bottom. Aroma is pretty sweet like a hoppy bubblegum with a little pear. Flavor is a bit watered down but has some nice bite at the very beginning with what would initially appear to be because of heavy carbonation but is just the bitterness of the hops with a dry pass over the palate at the finish.
4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Poured from a 22oz. bottle into a pint glass.
The color is a light, clear, gold color with about three fingers of white head with some nice lacing.
The smell is a real strong hop flavor. A pretty grassy hop flvor carries this beer from the start with a nice floral flavor.
The taste is, as expected, nice and hoppy with a real strong floral flavor. Some nice clove and citrus fruit flavors are set back after the first hits of hops has had their time on you taste buds.
The feel is pretty darn great. It has a light mouthfeel that goes down pretty darn easy and it just sweet to the taste buds. A great hop experience.

Hard to top this one. Wonderful pine and citrus aroma. Pours a slightly cloudy golden with nice head. Great citrus hop flavours, grapefruit, but predominated by a tart lemon. Balanced malt. A lingering hop, dry finish that sticks around. Easily one of the best IPAs you could have.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Pours a moisty golden with a majestic off white head - and it stays. Shoots off massive american hops blended with floral and citric notes. The taste is strong and bitter with the hoppy overall impression. First the fruity and hoppy notes overtaken by a funky bitterness as from grapefruits. Its quite nicely balanced and the dry-hopping is still fresh - what is hard to say about many IPAs shipped from the States. The mouthfeel is nice and sticky from the alcohol and somehow creamy. Nice
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A: A nice peachy copper color with a big thunderous head upon the pour. There is wonderful thick lacing left behind as I slowly enjoy this brew.
S: Lots of hops. Huge aroma with Pine and Citrus in the forefront. There are nice malty undertones and a buttery aroma which help to make this a perfectly balanced brew.
T: The taste is where this beer shines. Lots of citrus... grapefruit, oranges, lemon, you name it it’s in there. There are tons of citrus hops in this one. There is also a nice caramel sweetness from the malt. The bitterness of the hops is well stated and really lingers. Quite possibly the best IPA I have ever had.
M: Medium bodied IPA with lots of fizz upon the pour. The oiliness of the hops hang around letting you enjoy the lingering effects of this beer.

Initially it poured with a very large head. but when the bottle finally settled the head had a decent size to it. The lacing and retention where superb. Aroma had a good pine like note as well as hints of grapefruit and some malts. Flavor certainly had an aggressive pine-like hop presence to it but it did not predominate the flavors of the beer. There was enough of a grapefruit note to balance it out. Finish was dry.
