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.

I was very disappointed with this beer. Its mouthfeel was so thin and flat that I started looking for a date on the bottle to see if this was bad. Color was anemicly pale. The hops flavor was the only thing that kept the rating so ’high’

Aroma is hopy with hints of grass. Appearance is golden yellow with a medium white head. The flavor is aggressive bitter. The bitterness dosent give room for much more flavors. The body is bit thin. Overall this is an aggressive and interessting beer that goes for beeing bitter.

Grassy, mild hoppy aroma. Hop bitterness dominates a mild flavor profile. Light mouthfeel with clean aftertaste.

Tap @ Belmont Station... Poured golden with a huge white head that retained through the whole brew. Aroma of fruits and a nice bouquet of hops. Dry and well carbonated palate. Noticeable hops and a residual pine/wood-like quality to the flavor. Not very bitter and a crisp malt balance. Barley-cereal grains and a yeasty finish.

From a bottle. I remeber this ale as a little hazy but today it is golden yellow and absolutely clear. A very little white head. The aroma is strong of hops and something that remindes me of a barn. The flavor starts in bitterness, a lot of hops, and after a while some pine and grapefruit. Then it ends in bitterness. The aftertaste is bitter and strong, the strongest one I´ve ever experienced, and lasts for a long time.

Bottle at home. Light hazy, light yellow with a white head, fine lacings. Aroam moderate malty (caramel), heavy hoppy (pine, citrus). Flavor moderate sweet, heavy bitter, long duration. Medium body. A fine experiment.

Clear gold pour with a fizzy white head and spotty lace. Herbal/floral notes on the nose. Peppery upfront with a citric finish. Notable hints of mixed berries and caramel apple

On tap. Pours a clear and carbonated gold with a decent fizzy head. Aromas are pretty grassy, with lemon and a little pepper. Flavors are the same and fail to make an IPA as far as I’m concerned. It’s more like a souped up really good pils or something like that
