3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 buzz_and_hum (143) - Wellington, - OCT 21, 2012.Pale brown, fresh fully head. Fresh cut grass on the nose. In the mouth it is full and syrupy, with an immediate sharp note of grapefruit and orange. Long lingering bitter aftertaste. A nice strong IPA; almost an IIPA with such a thick body and solid structure. Quite nice, indeed.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 beer-yum (52) - Wellington, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 17, 2013
An excellent American IPA that is a good example of the breed. Tends to the hoppy side of the malt-hop balance - but that is what is expected of the breed. A definite ’good drop’.

Bottle at BeerDeLuxe. Great hop salad. Aromas of grass, apricot, citrus, and liquorice. Taste has a sweet start, with bitterness taking over for a long finish. Palate is velvety, medium bodied, with a dry finish. Yellow, with a frothy head.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 madsneergaard (10) - Gistrup, DENMARK - MAY 9, 2013
Bottle. Clean, golden orange in the glass.
The nose is not extremely intense. Citrus fruits like oranges, tangerines but also a good bitterness to it - pretty well balanced.
Taste is is more bitter than the nose. I don’t know how old this bottle is though. A pretty intense bitter aftertaste that lingers for quite a while - nice! Not a crazy beer, but definitely a good beer. No traces of the 7 %. Body is medium and nicely carponated.
In general, a very nice beer.

Bottle. Gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of grapefruit and pine, mandarin, pepper. A little watery, quite highly carbonated. Some stone fruit, but not much malt presence. Grapefruit, pine, herbs. A strange greasy pan note that’s not that heavy but isn’t very welcome. Dry with fairly strong bitterness. Nice hops (no doubt at least a little faded) but underneath is not good.
