Pours a hazed orange with a bit of off white head. Great big ol pine and grapefruit aromas. Just a bit of caramel in the background. All sorts of wonderful hop flavors. Aggressive but not overbearing. Medium body with medium carbonation. A well balanced long lasting finish. Nice beer. I need to come by a bottle.

Cloudy grapefuit colour, white head and lace. Great hop aroma. Very good DIPA, high IBU but not a bomb of bitter. Full mouthfeel and good drinkability.

Bottled. Hazy amber colour, mediumsized head. Aroma is fruity and flowery hops along with some wood. Flavour is pineapple, peach and some mild flowery notes to balance it up. Long wooden bitterness in the aftertaste along with some mild sweetish fruits.

Bottle 0.65 l. Rich aroma with hints of different hops and ripe fruits (plums and raisins). Characteristic unclear orange colour with white head. Very dry, bitter flavour from the many hops, but also elegantly sweetened. Long dry aftertaste with a sens of hay or grass.

On tap at Ballast Point during the RBSG Pub Crawl Tour on 08/01/2008. Clear golden amber body with a large creamy off-white head. Somewhat yeasty aroma. Yeasty and floral hop flavor. Medium body with moderate carbonation.
