ante (2450), Stockholm (Bromma), Sweden May 8, 2008 Bottled, thanks to Baggio!. Pours out in a hazy orangey amber colour with a rich sticky white foam. Huge hop-aroma of grapefruity and resinous hops with touches of lychee, bloodgrape and cherry-skins with sweet undertones of peaches, caramel and guava. Almost full-bodied with a massive onslaught of resinous, floral and grapfruity hops with strong notes of grass, nectarines and blackberries. long grapefruit and grassy finish with touches of resin, peaches and mild caramel. At 200+ IBU’s, this is a hop-junkie’s fix...

Hazy amber colour with big head. Incredibly nice hoparoma, with lots of flowers and tropical fruits. It better be, since a bilion different hops were used. Great balance of malts an hops here, which isn’t always an easy task with 2IPA’s. This is a big, almost crazy beer with solid salty hopbitterness.
harrisoni (4896), Ashford, Kent, Kent, England Jul 11, 2008 Bottle at RBESG Grand Tasting 2008. Hazy copper colour, lasting beige head. Shed loads of hop. 20 different hops apparently. It is enormously hoppy. Very metallicy hoppy. Unbalanced and silly, but I really like it. Sticky. It does mean that you get a conflict in all the hop aromas/flavours. anders37 (2483), Malmö, Sweden Jul 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Has a spicy hoppy grapefruit aroma. Spicy hoppy bitter grapefruit flavor. Long hoppy bitter grapefruit finish with a long bitter aftertaste. ogivlado (2173), Zagreb, Croatia Jul 10, 2008 Bottled(500ml). -RBESG2008, Grand Tasting.
Nice hazy pale amber coloured, medium sized airy pale beige head, intensive flowery hoppy nose. Strong aromatic bitter hoppy and fruity taste. Decent beer. If I tried it at home, it would certainly get better rates, but like this
it’s also very good.
oh6gdx (5195), Vaasa, Finland Jul 10, 2008 Bottled. HAzy opaque orange colour with small beige head. Aroma is very fruity and hoppy. Flavour is hoppy, grassy and has some slight notes of spices. A really nice and wellbalanced brew.
