Aroma of pine and grass. Very dark in color orangish brown. Frothy head. Flavor is bitter and sweet, there is plenty of malt to back up the hops in this one. Creamy mouth feel. Sweet and bitter finish. If you like hops, you should try this one.

So far this is my Second Favorite beer appearence, golden sunshine style with a little hazy aroma pungent Hop profile, very flora taste Awesome Hop profile 10 hops! Bitter from the hops, very flora overall very good! This is a true IPA, its not balanced at all, the Hops is overpowering thats a Good IPA to me, love it only wish it was cheaper, but then it would not be as good, and more aval!!!

On tap at Brouwer’s for Hopfest, pours a deep copper / red with lasting white head. Aroma contains lots of pot, herbal notes and some resin. Lots and lots of pot on the flavour and aftertaste. Very bitter. A total palate destroyer. Super smooth palate, quite bitter. Like bottled pot in liquid form. Interesting.

Bottle poured into a shaker is amber with minimal off white head. Aroma is bitter, grapefruit, and caramel malt. Taste is booze, bittgrapefruit, pine tar, and an astringent note. Palates full body with a long very bitter finish. Overall, this is a bit over the top to.enjoy. Flavors are good , but just way too much to enjoy.

Pours translucent honey copper with a light tan head and a little lace. Aroma is of lots of hops, some caramel and wood. Insane amount of hops, some alcohol up front and in the finish left on the tongue, caramel and roasted malts.

(Courtoisie de JulienHuxley) Un anneau de mousse flotte sur un liquide à la robe ambrée. Une fine dentelle est observée. Au nez, des parfums forts de chanvre et d’autres espèces végétales du même acabit rencontrent des céréales grillées. Ouf, très difficile pour les narines. Les saveurs sont massivement houblonnées, très végétales, avec des herbes sauvages séchées et des légumes déshydratés. La base maltée me semble tout de même respectable, capable de percer le mur amer. En bouche, le liquide est bien structuré avec une effervescence douce et un côté fortement texturé. L’amertume en fin de bouche est très agressive et grimaçante, résultat sans doute d’un sévère et rigoureux houblonnage. En résumé, pas pour moi.

Bouteille partagée avec Patrick (merci Julien). Le liquide est cuivré. Aucune formation mousseuse sur cette bière. Le nez est très odorant avec des notes de tomates, d’herbe et de marijuana. La bouche est puissante (pas dans le bon sens) avec des goûts de tomates, de ketchup. L’amertume est trop prononcée. La texture par contre est incroyable. Mais comme souvent trop c’est pire que pas assez.

I can’t really say what’s going on here it’s too hoppy for me. there’s not really a good balance. I like it but, I’m not a fan of overly hopped beers. I once heard that the human palate can’t really taste as much as most people say they do. Head didn’t really stay. For something crazy hoppy it was good I guess.

Bottle from 2008. Pours a golden light brown with orange hew. Nose is strong with hops. First sip is still hugely boozy after 3 years. Malt is there but still over shadowed by this hop bomb. Finish lingers with syrupy bitterness.

Aroma- huge malts (un-frickin-real), pine cones, sweet syrup, brown sugar Appearance- dark hazy yellow, slight brown, medium white head, nice lacing Taste- hopbomb, bitter upfront, sweet in the middle, bitter in back, huge pine notes, oily, viscous Palate- huge mouthfeel, front to back bitterness Overall- Definitely one of the hoppiest, maltiest, sexiest brews I’ve had. The only downfall of this beer is that it’s strictly one-dimensional. Certainly could use some age and patience to really bring out the nuances.
