UPDATED: NOV 17, 2010 What a nose! All piney hops lovely. Otherwise a pretty decent brew. The mouth is medium bodied, unfortunately the flavour is not quite up to the nose with piney and floral hops on the back end, though not at the level suggested by the nose. Went through some good dry hopping I suspect. Solid beer.

Bouteille de 12 oz. Arômes de houblon américain (pamplemousse, résine) et de malt légèrement toasté. Robe cuivrée et limpide, effervescence assez active et légère dentelle. En bouche, un malt toasté et caramélisé supporte un houblonnage tirant plutôt sur la résine. Finale assez sèche et bien amère. Une IPA américaine assez classique, relativement portée sur le malt.

Very pleasing hop aroma of citrus and pine needles. Good colour. Good mouthfeel with medium carbonation, with a big hop kick at the end. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at the Sail & Anchor, Fremantle 7/04/2012. Amber in colour with a slight white head. decent citrus hops with some sweetish malts and dry, resinous finish. Enjoyable.

Pours lightly with very little head. Looks thick. Should let bottle settle for 2mins before pouring. Very pleasant initial taste but beautiful citrus and passionfruit experience at back end. Heavy at almost 6%. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Beer Cartel. Pours cloudy golden light orange with decent rocky head and lace. Big pine, citrus aromas underlying a sweet grainy malt backbone. Medium-light body, subdued bitterness, but nonetheless there balanced with a generous hop flavour of apricots, citrus and grass. Hops over the top of a pitted fruit malt alongside a light malty grain biscuit character. Hops linger through the finish, but its a flavour matched with a light malt sweetness that lingers. Delicious through to the next sip.

Bottle via maneliquor. Never know how a non-bottle dated IPA is going to be but this one was spot on. Aroma is dankness but not overly cat piss. This is an awesome aroma I’m not sure I’ve come across yet in an IPA. Taste is very crisp with loads of citrus and nectarine in there. Overall, a great IPA that I’ll likely never have again but should be appreciated down under.

Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aroma is quite hoppy with some pine and citrus. Taste is also quite hoppy with some pine and citrus fruit. The finish is very dry with a balsy bitterness. Like this one.

This beer pours slightly darker than a typical IPA and has a very refreshing bitterness without overdoing it. The nose is full of hops and has hints of citrus. The bitterness lingers on the back of your tongue, making the taste last longer in your mouth. Overall a very refreshing beer, if you’re a fan of this beer and other IPAs I’d also recommend sleeping giant IPA.

Bottle 33 cl, Slowbeer. Pours clear amber with a huge off white head leaving lace. Aroma is malty, hoppy, citric, piny, cat bin, fruity and bready. Flavor is fruity, malty, citric, piny, acidy, sweetish, floral and bitter. Loads of hops here. Finishes bitter fruity.

A lovely IPA overall. Lacks a bit of body, but has a nice IPA finish. Lots of grapefruit in the aroma.
