Mar 25, 2009 Pours orange pale color with cream colored head that fades pretty quick. Aroma is of yeast and citrus. Taste is grapefruit, pine, and some vanilla, bread-like qualities from the malt base. Quite a bit of co2. Bitter finish lingers. Nothing really stands out here.

Mar 23, 2009 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear pale amber colour with a rich dense white foam. Hoppy and a bit yeasty aroma of orange-peels, hay, resin and grass. Nearly full-bodied with notes of orange-peels, raw yeast, grass, nuts and mild grapefruit. Really bitter finish of orange-peels and grapefruit with sharp undertones of bakers yeast, pepper and alcohol.

Mar 9, 2009 golden brown with nice white head. modrate carbonation. nose of mild hop. flavor begins of just mild hop bitterness, a lot of hop flavor, likely cascade and amarillo amongst others. a lot of malt sweetness at the end with some alcoholic warmth. overall the hop component is not that unique. personally, i enjoy the large malt component in a double ipa, but in this case the hops aren’t unique enough to shine through it. not bad, not exemplary

Mar 8, 2009 over six bucks for a 22 oz bottle but these guys usually make pretty good beer so I figured I would try it - nicely hopped with aromatics of grapefruit, pine and malt - excellently blended hops and malt with lots of alcohol. lingering bitter after-taste followed by malt/citrus. That being said it’s good but there are lots of good IPA’s on the market these days. Exceedingly average in every category but that is good as it is very well balanced.

Feb 27, 2009 Medium orange amber, decent head. Aroma was bitter citric hops. Flavor was very, very bitter, just a faint hint of biscuit malt, and much less hop flavor than I would have expected, just a bit of pine and citrus. Too bad, I was looking forward to trying this. Thinner than I wanted, bitterness out of balance with the rest of the beer, and the hops didn’t shine.
