Jun 3, 2009 Pours a clear light orange with a good, thick, off-white head. Aroma is a perfect hop bomb. Little to no malts - this one is citrusy, resiny hops all the way through. A bit of honey and brown sugar counter in the flavor, and wow is this delicious. Full-bodied, big mouthfeel, with just a ton of hops. Wonderfully refreshing while still very flavorful. Fantastic - one of my new favorite IPAs.

May 27, 2009 Nice US hop aroma, all grapefruit and citrus. More grapefruit and then a heavy malt. Sort of oily or fat, but in a good way. Drinkable

May 27, 2009 Beautiful dark copper pour with a creamy head. Piney, dried fruit aroma. Lightly sweet flavor with lots of citrus peel bitterness. Great balance.

May 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear, bright amber, medium off-white head. Grapefruit, sweet malt and citrus dominate the aroma. Hops, citrus and a touch of caramel comes across strong in the flavor. Bitter and dry finish.

May 19, 2009 This is like the other style IPA that I don’t lean towards. Beautiful complex floral aroma. Creamy marshmallow palate. Not to bitter. Where’s the malt? The caramel? Delicious but lacking. If they tweaked this in a different way.... Epic!
