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.

Pours a slightly hazed orange into a shaker. Bright white head spiders as it recedes. Dusty orange peel aromas. Sharp grapefruit from front to back. Lasting, puckering bitter almost painful rind finish.

Bottled: Light yellow color. Aroma with notes of citrus, herbs and cascade hops. Light to medium intensive. Sweetish flavor, citrus and herbal hops. Bitter, herbal and very dry finish. Nice but not as intensive as other IPA’s.

Clear amber with a decent white head. Hoppy aroma, citrus, grass, bitter. Taste is pretty much the same, some alcohol in aftertaste. Nice, I’ll have this again.

Bottled. Amazed that I have yet to rate this beer. Frankly, given the fact that thsi is my 12th bottle tonight the thought of gettign a cogent review out of me is as thin as a wilting supermodel at her graduation day from the University of Bulimia. Cherry, stawberry, nuances, sheep - all such terms are a cluster of fukc. Punk IPA tastes fuckign good. It feels good. It *is* good. Shit, I’ve written enough. Can I be excused now? I’ve got to get and get more of this. Blah blah hoppy, blah blah bitter, blah blah oral fornication with goats. ’And you can really taste the hops!!!’

Pours a slightly cloudy gold with minimal head. A verdant, pine-like English hop presence in front, honey-like malt in the back. In the mouth, a lot of hops. And then more hops. It’s been a full minute since my last sip and I’m still blowing hop fumes. Another tasting and I get more minty notes, as well as some fruitiness with a bitter back-bite. Better than merely OK, definitely aggressive but overall a very drinkable, very bitter pale ale.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear yellow with a small off white head. Nose of pine, citrus and sweet malts. Flavor was slightly sweet and well balanced. Finish was slightly biter and crisp, medium in body.

Clear gold pour with a small foamy head. Some light fruit in the aroma, along with grassy and floral hops. Flavor starts slightly sweet and fruity, then the hops kick in. Floral, soapy hop flavor dominates throughout the rest of the bottle. I just cant the the flavor of dish soap out of my mouth. Abit thin and flat on the palate. Definately not my thing!
