Brenhophead (127) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - FEB 5, 2012
Pours golden with almost no head and very minimal bubbles. Aroma has a slight sweet citrus aroma and follows through to the flavour although the cabonation is extremely low and its all i can think about every time i take a sip. Mebbe i got a dud bottle i will try it again at a later date.

davidm (1246) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - FEB 4, 2012
Bottle from Purvis. Great hop explosion. Aromas of caramel, grass, nuts, and flowers. Taste is sweet and bitter, with very long length. Palate is velvety, almost creamy, and full bodied. Orange, with a frothy head.

Sevenlee (361) - Central Coast, NSW, AUSTRALIA - FEB 2, 2012
Pours a golden colour. Aroma is quite fruity, with grapefruit being the most noticeable and citrus. Taste is also fruity with more grapefruit leading to a hefty bitterness in the finish. Nicely balanced. Really nice and unusual.

Ferfie (170) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 26, 2012
Originally rated 08/28/11. Pours beautiful orange, rather hazy, but still looks really nice. Shit it smells good. Lots of the tropical fruits, oranges, grapefruit, pine too. Lingering floral hops. If I really try I can almost smell a touch of light malt, but it smells like a the most delicious hop nectar. Good Gourd, the taste is hops hops and hops. Great tangerine, peach birght hop sweetness, quickly shifts to a grapefruit, but the pine is hugely present too. Little to no malt. No alcohol in the taste. A little low on the carbonation. it just smacks you up front with the hops, but there are a lot of different layers to the hops in it that it makes it a very interesting and stupidly tasty drink. Finish is bitter, but it has a lot of citrus hop sweetness lingering.

12oz bottle pours copper with a white head. Flural aromas of grass citrus and some aromas of bread and dough. Flavor is bitter but smooth mostly grapefruit and citrus rind backed with a bready maltness. Body is medium and finish is lasting. Alot of malt for an IPA
