Pours a bright, yellow-orange color; off-white head with solid retention and medium-bubbled lacing. Cat pee, citrus, and resiny overall hoppiness in the aroma; slightly watery on the edges; lemon rind and clean hop expression. Medium carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: resiny, clean citrus and catty hop bitterness; some cheese and sugar. Medium finish (lots of mediums), showing resiny citrus and grass and sugar. mgumby10 (1850), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 3, 2008 Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a crystal clear gold, with a small white head. Smells of big juicy citrus hops, some weed, grass, and grapefruit. Big and bold nose. The flavor is pretty big on the hops as expected, with a decent malt presence for some balance. Definitely a little more piney than fruity, although there was some grapefruit in there as well. Very good IPA, almost felt like a double to me. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 3, 2008 Bottle thanks to Ken! Huge nose of sharp mandarin oranges - fruity, juicy, full, wow... has a definite fruit juice sugar character to the nose - while the body is thick and syrupy and frothy while still pretty crisp and sharp... resinous pine and catty simcoe hops round out a big IPA that’s not too big. Very good stuff. Peregrinari (54), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 2, 2008 This is a really really nice beer. Aroma is strong simco and almost cat urine (I just love cheesing!) Flavor is strong citrus with almost canabis flavor and potency. This is one fantastic beer. Finish is smooth and a bit drying but not dry. Very nice.
