4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Deeply hazed gold, thin creamy white head. Nose was chock full of crushed pine needle, grapefruit and orangey notes, and just a slight touch of toasty sweet malt. Flavor is straight up hop juice tones of grapefruit, florals, and grass. Starts slightly sweet, but blasts you with a moderate bitterness from start to finish. Full bodied, soft carbonation and smooth, bitter finish. Without a doubt, this will get you a hop fix. Great brew! Thanks for the hookup Eyedrinkale...

Bottle. Batch 7690. Hazy white-yellow body with a small white ring of head. Sharp, fresh, and raw piney aroma that also has a hit of creamy cookie maltiness. Pungent/potent raw grapefruit hops. Very crisp and tasty to no end. Grassy alcohol grain with a long resiny finish. Awesome.

UPDATED: MAR 27, 2011 Fresh 2009 bottle courtesy of fiver29. Thanks John for handing this over in Vegas. Pours a cloudy orange colour with a short head that dissolves quickly. Aroma is sweet pink grapefruit and a touch of pine. Nice bitter flavour but thanks for not going too far over the top. There is some sweetness and a little malt to balance out the hop punch. Nice balance for a DIPA. Glad I got a chance to try this so fresh.

Bottle: Blend of orange and golden pour with a smaller off-white head. Strong citrus hops aroma, lots of grapefruit. Some maltiness too. Taste full of citrus hops, more grapefruit, apple, floral hops, and a warming alcohol note. Nice, lingering and warming finish. Very hoppy, that’s what I like in my IPA/IIPA’s. Thanks to Llafoe for sending me a bottle, thanks to Jeremy for sharing this one.
