Aug 21, 2009 What a hoppy nose! Sweet hop aroma with a little grapefruit on a deep inhale. Super hop aroma doesn’t lie -- big hops on the tongue, but a nice, clean finish. Well put together.

Aug 21, 2009 750mL bottle. Pours amber with nice thick off white head. Strong substantial sweet hop aroma. Nice hop body and taste. Very strong contender.

Aug 21, 2009 650 ml bottle. Olrange-gold with a ring of head. Huge grapefruit and some pine in the aroma - not much else. Big grapefruit in the flavour - as much hop flavour as any beer I’ve tried. Hops are balanced by some rather simple malt sweetness. It’s all about the hops. Bitterness is there in the end, but is not overwhelming. Very full body. Great beer for the hop-lover.

Aug 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a big foamy off-white head that lingers a while. Sweet and crisp hops aroma, with a lot of juicy citrus, and a bit of grass, herbs, and malt. Taste starts juicy, with citrus, sugar, and malt and then picks up more bitter pine hops and grass. Lingering bitterness. Very nice.

Aug 20, 2009 Updated: Aug 22, 2009Beautifully well done IIPA here. Wow. Citrus sweet honey hops that lingerrr. Unimpressive looking in the glass but once it’s in your face its like, ...; INYOURFACEAH! Very crisp and fresh tasting, I would like to have this on tap, I feel like it would be cleaner. Super truculently sweet, though it holds onto its dryness in a fashionable way in that immediately after the swallow the exhale is rough and biting with the hops hoisting their swords in the air and taking over your tongue like little taste-bud pirates. Argh. And the malts are bready and not caramelly to sweeten up the hops too much.Stoopid!, with a PhD in bitter.

Aug 19, 2009 22 oz bottle. I am always excited to see a hoppy brew like this on the shelf and it was a no brainer purchase. Pours a beautiful orange-brown color. Very sweet citrus hop aroma. Flavor is also quite sweet, much more so than I was expecting. While this is a bit of a disappointment, there is still a lot to like here, notes of orange, blueberry, pine and maybe honey. Extremely flavorful beer, although a little overly sweet in my opinion.
