Commercial Description:
A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry. Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast.

This one poured a clear darker yellow color with a white head. Aroma was malty and sweet with nots of bittering hops. Flavor was malty, a fair amount of bitterness, but not much hop flavor.

Huge grip and bite. Not as different or radical as they brading suggests. Fuzzy to look at. Dry lasting long on the tongue fade. Very good. Malty.

Color appears to be clear dull gold and has a fluffy white cap that is producing some creators on top, lacing is fairly sticky but yet this beer is not very appealing to look at, its probly the dull gold body it just aint turning my crank, however Gully trying to make his nipple erect as I drink this is. This has the unmistakable sent of sweaty feet, some grape fruity hops, and finishes off with sweet candied peaches. Taste is fairly thin and not offensive it’s just lacking any real flavor except for bitter. The flavor is just way to watery for my liking and has no noticeable malt presence. Its very drinkable but tasty and memorable it is not there are hundreds of better IPA’s to choose from."

Dull looking, orangey straw body with a short and hardly lasting head. Some citrus on the aroma but mainly sweet malt. Not a bad taste but just doesn’t turn me on too much, grapefruit and lemon, thin and almost watery.
