rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Jul 26, 2009 Moderate hop aroma. Clear orange color with a small white head. Hoppy with a mild bitterness in the beginning fading in the finish. Light palate.

Dont know why but I just expected than orange color like other west coast IPA’s. Great deep agressive hop nose. Taste doesnt disappoint either. Agressively hopped & extremely well balanced. Great IPA, big thanks to pbsmooth, from that other site we dont talk about larsga (2937), Oslo, Norway Jul 21, 2009 Small white head. Yellow body. Tropical fruit and strawy malty aroma. Dry-sweetish tropical fruit and chalk taste with citric notes. Mid-bodied. Smooth mouthfeel. Dry honey and resin aftertaste with wooden citric notes. Excellent drinkable IPA. (Oslo beer junta tasting. Need to rerate.) TampaBrew (749), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 19, 2009 Pours a deep yellow. Big pine, citrus and dank hops, sweet malt nose. Flavor is a very balanced and full bodied mixture of caramel malt, pine, grapefruit, resiny hop goodness and some lingering booze. Al around a super solid IPA. Wouldn’t expect anything less.
