GABF 2007: The beer poured a very hazy amber color with an off-white head. Grapefruit hops leap out with some caramel underneath. Citrus and grapefruit flavor throughout, from front to back. Dry moderately bitter finish. Medium body. It hides the alcohol very well.

Tasted at Ca Brewers Fest. Humongus hop aroma and flavor but bitterness is lower than you would expect. Med Full body, nice and creamy on palate. Leaves a nice hop aftertaste..If your a Hophead, You should like this beer..
