COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A pale ale hopped to the extreme! This beer starts out as a nice pale ale until it reaches the kettle. Throughout the course of the 90 minute boil four massive hop additions are made which transform this beer into a hop-head's dream come true. Both Chinook and Tomahawk hops from the Yakima valley are added in extreme quantities for the maximum bitterness, flavor and aroma.

DuffMan (4426) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 23, 2010
Bottle. Orange amber, creamy compact head. Aroma of citrus fruit, light pine, and a little plastic. Sweet toffee malts, citrus rind, resin, and a little band-aid plastic note. Finishes with astringent green-stick bitterness. I think this is on the verge of being past its prime, with the plasticcy phenols lurking in here.

mabel (4405) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 4, 2008
[1310-20080418] 1pt6floz bottle. Malty hopped up citrus and tangerine juice aroma. Hazy, medium orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Super bitter citrus hops and heavy malt flavour. Bitter bitter medium body. Wow that’s bitter!

presario (4133) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 14, 2005
No head. Brownish-orange. Aroma is pine and dog food. No malt. Hot spiciness and hops. Bitter and takes a bit of getting used to.

TomDecapolis (4007) - Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 23, 2005
Poured a slightly hazy orange amber with a very small head. Grapefruit up front in the aroma. Taste is also grapefruit. Very bitter ending. A little oily.

GT2 (3961) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 22, 2011
Tap at Pacific Standard. The pour is a hazy, poo orange with no head and no lace. Probably the ugliest IPA I’ve ever seen. The aroma is all stale hoppy with cheese and rotting berries. Taste is dry, soapy, muddy, just on the grasping edge of IPA. Sucked dick.

Suttree (3927) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - NOV 26, 2007
Reddish Orange, big ecru head. I called it "ecru" because I’m tired of saying "beige". Anyway, Toasted white bread and some citrus in the aroma. Nicely earthy, smoky flavors at first, and seems to stay fairly earthy and smoky throughout, with a resiny finish. Pretty tasty stuff.

A deep copper color with a huge head to this beer. I got a fresh one Woooo Hooooo. Has a good balanced flavor and the hops where aweome with this brew. I liked the malts and the fruity flavors I was tasting. A good dry beer with a great hopped flavor.

SledgeJr (3577) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - MAR 19, 2009
On tap at the brewpub. Butterscotch color with a medium creamy off-white head. There’s not much aroma here but it has a good mid-range hop bitterness with plenty of grapefruit notes. It has honey flavors but it’s not very sweet. A long finishing buttery palate.

dwyerpg (3576) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - MAR 20, 2008
Has a nice hop aroma. Flavor has a good hop bite. Sustains throughout. Quite bitter but overall pretty good.

rosenbergh (3486) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 7, 2010
355 ml bottle. 5.5%. From Seattle, WA, USA.
Hazy light brown colour with tiny to small off-white head. Sweet caramel malty aroma with dark bitter hops. Dark bitter hops, grapefruit and some malt sweetness in rather balanced flavour.
