3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 MmmcKay (841) - Brentwood, Tennessee, USA - FEB 21, 2010
Huge massive foam that simply over took my glass. In fact we opened a bottle and a thick foam worm crawled out of the bottle as it sat on our table. Interesting.... Color is a cloudy orange yellow. Plenty of particles floating around. Tastes are sour and bitter. Plenty sour fruit with a healthy amount of hops. Not like an American IPA at all though, except maybe Victory Yakima Twilight. Nose is of yeast, funk, sour fruit, grapes, sour grapes, lemon, citrus, Nice palate. I think its a great beer.

Pours an over-carbonated beige head that fades to a fizzy lace and a hazy, deep golden body. Aromas of yeast, grass, grain. Flavor is honeyed grain, yeast, citrus and grassy hops. Some herbal qualities. Bright, tart, bitter finish.
1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 GT2 (3434) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 24, 2010
Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with no head. Sickly sweet aroma with notes of coconut and pineapple (pina colata). Tastes like apple juice with a weird aftertaste. A very strange beer. Not very good.
