Best-smelling beer I’ve ever experienced. Wonderful floral bouquet with hints of tropical fruit, which lull you into a sweet existence, then you taste the first sip and the pleasant bitterness provides the ultimate foil. The beer is smooth as silk and goes down easy, somewhat oily in texture. My new favorite double IPA, easy choice.

Jul 2, 2008 Perfect orange pour with a slight head. Wonderful aroma! citrus fruitsand sweetness.The flavor is much of the same with grapefruit, peaches, pine and tangarines. This is my favorite beer. Perfect! You would never know it was 10%. A true testament to craft brewers around the world.

Jun 28, 2008 This beer is Heaven in my mouth. Show me a better beer. This has perfect balance of flavors and alcohol. I only wish it was more readily available.

Jun 27, 2008 Poured a lemon-yellowish gold into a pint glass. Inch thick creamy head that slowly settled.
Great aroma. Very citrusy/grapefruity with some cut grass. Also a slight sweetness in the aroma.
Taste was great as well. Bitter hoppiness nicely balanced by a complementary malty sweetness. This beer tastes good!
Mouthfeel is very smooth. The hops hit first but you get a nicely cleaned palate after each sip.
Overall, this beer goes down far too easily for its high ABV. Be careful! This is also on the expensive side (I paid $3 for a 12 oz bottle) but I wasn’t disappointed. A little expensive to drink all the time, but was a very nice treat!

Jun 27, 2008 Huge in every sense of the word. Bright and lively hop aromas, bracing bitterness, woody hop flavors, and a velvety rich maltiness to take the edge off.
