Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a growler. Pours a hazy yellow-orange color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily. Thick top ring of lacing with spots underneath. Fresh citrusy hops aroma with a bit of malt underneath. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter (not quite a full "blast") with grapefruit and hops flavors. Some piney and malty notes as well. The finish is hoppy with a lingering citrus aftertaste. Good all around.

Growler sample courtesy of Rogueone. Pours a cloudy orange copper with a medium off-white head. Citrus hop aroma with some other fruit in there as well. Hoppy flavor with tons of citrus. Definitely getting some lemon and orange peel character in there. Medium finish.

Draft at the Comet. Pours a dark gold in color with a very nice inch of head. Smell is very piney hops. Taste is more of the hops with a bit of malt and citrus. Very smooth and easy drinking. Not the palate number that I expect from my Imperial and Double IPAs. It has a very pine sol like nose. Good but not my favorite.

Draft at BT. Pours an orange amber body with a white 1 finger head. Hoppy fruits citrus, lemon. Sweet pineapple, hints of honey and light malt. Light etoh warming.

GABF 2008. Bright, orange-tinted gold, thick frothy white head. Beguiling combination of fruity (guava, citrus oil) and earthy (tea, dried leaves, loam) hops in abundance, medium bodied, dry clean finish of medium length. Decent malt support for all this hop activity. An interesting construction of what usually amounts to a cascade hop bomb of narrow (but high) expectations. I liked it for its originality as much as for its superb craftsmanship.
