Apr 22, 2008 22 ounce first pour in pint glass. Clear pale copper with lasting head (all the way down) and lace. Grapefruit juice and fresh hop aroma. Peach grapefruit and honey sweetness. Bracing hop bitterness, citrus tang and fresh hop flavor. Fairly dry. Medium-full body medium carbo. Scarily quaffable for such a strong beer. Alcohol well-hidden even when warmed up. Very excellent.

Apr 22, 2008 Pours a clear light amber with a rather large off-white head. Strong aroma of grapefruit and pine. Nice flavor, just a little too bitter for me. I’m surprised it’s over 10 percent, don’t notice the alcohol at all.

Apr 21, 2008 [bottle] Pours a clear copper with a large off white head. Aroma is mostly red grapefruit along with piney hops. Flavor is huge hops, lots of bitterness, and a good amount of malt to back it up. Pretty smooth mouthfeel with a loooooong lasting bitterness.

Apr 20, 2008 Pours copper brown with decent off white head. Nose is pine hops. Flavor is a great blend of caramel malt and pine grass hops. A touch viscous. Great beer.

Apr 20, 2008 Great looking pour with a pine tar medium brown body with a nice tan head. Moderate carbonation. Huge hop aroma with grapefruit, pine and fruit. Hops explode in the mouth on the first sip along with a high IBU. Some sweet malt is evident but just can’t balance that much hop. It is floral, piney, grapefruity, spicy, tart, and sweet. This is truly a robust and aggressive beer but is amazingly easy to drink. It should keep the hop farmers in business!

Apr 20, 2008 Aroma: obscenely good hop profile, somewhat reminiscent of 90 Minute. Lovely, fruity, piny, elderberry, black currant. SOme malts linger in the back too.
Flavour: nice, sourish bittersweet, black currant malty sweetness. I love it. Not too heavy, very good balance.
Palate: near perfect, big, fluffy, fizzy, oily & very fruity.
Appearance: clear orange towards copper body with yellowish British head.

*liked it would buy if it tasted a year old*
aroma: some spoiled fruits. some pepper ish spice. app: apricot orange hue that glows. flavor: sweet chewy malts. the hops are yummy but mild. i think the age on this has really added to the drinkability. it is very warm balanced and nice. palate: fine. could use more carbonation. OA: fine dipa, i like the foward malt dipa myself and the year on this bottle has really smoothed it off.. in a good way..

Apr 19, 2008 Updated: May 20, 2008This is one of my favorite beers. If you like hops, this beer is great. It has more flavor than their already stellar IPA. Avery IPAs have a very distinct hop flavor which I am fond of. Copper color with an amora that smells like hops. Very nice.
