wow, good stuff, pour is hazy yellow, aroma is very citursy lots of life, very hoppy and just a solid beer, tastes very similar to heady topper

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2011 Smells just like the Ephraim. A little lighter and easy drinker. Another laser show!

Aroma: lots of citrus - grapefruit, orange, and tangerine, as well as some melon and resin. Very floral and aromatic, hops just jump out of the glass. Pours a hazy golden color, white head with good retention and nice lacing. Flavor follows the aroma - lots of citrus and tropical fruit, some melon and tangerine, a touch of pine, nice light malt character with a bit of background sweetness, crisp bitterness and a fairly dry finish. Light to medium body, medium carbonation, smooth texture. Another amazing HF hop bomb.

Growler split with mcberko. pours translucent orange with a small white head. Aroma of piney hops, floral notes, citrus and caramel malts. Flavour is largely of piney hops, tropical fruits, with a well balanced caramel malt background. Dry, hoppy bitter after taste. So good!

beautiful hazy apricot color, creamy off-white head. aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, great mineral components, and some grassy earth. tastes of smooth caramel malts, incredible hop balance, citrus, and tropical fruits.

From a 750 ML bottle poured at the brewery. Hazy amber appearance. Smells of citrus and pine. Sweet grapefruit flavor with a great hoppy dryness to finish things off. Such an excellent beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

750ml pour from brewery... Pours a hazy orange golden copper with a finger of foam that laces nicely. Aromas are huge citrus, navel orange, tangerine, a touch of sweet earthy malts... on the palate this beer just keeps on giving. Served at around 55˙ and the flavors are balanced to perfection. Nice juicy citrus on the front end as it moves into a deep earthy piney mid palate and a bitter grassy finish... all the while holding a touch of sweetness.

Thnx to urbancaver , my first frowler ever !!! Thnx to bpost it took a full month to get here --’ keep that in mind for this rate ! Lets not wasre another day , this must be drank as fresh as possible ! Basicly a growler seems to be a 75 cl bottle with swingcap . In belgium , this is a bottle . We sell beer in it but do not re-use it .. New idea, belgium ??? Pours very light , i expected like amber coloured , this is fuzzy yellow .. Rather big foam Smell is bitter , but also fruity . Very nice carbo ! The beer has held up very nice ! Fruity , bitter , kinda reminds at the bigger iipas ( heady) but presses me less , somehow . Yet this is very balanced ! Very familiar taste though .. Overall definatly a top iipa , but not THE best :-)

This beer has an orange color with large carbonation and medium head. A strong hops aroma with hints of a sweetness. Taste is well balanced crisp hops with citrus and sweetness...I want to say tangerine with dried apricot. This is a phenomenal DIPA, I only wish this was available in PA.

hazy golden amber color. The nose if big piney, oranges hugely defined with some caramel subtly in the background. This was a growler, so the mouth is lacking a bit, but tons of pine and citrus. So well balanced. Very clean. So well executed. One of the best ipas I’ve had.
