tastybeer (33), Washington DC, USA Oct 12, 2009 22oz bomber from Rodman’s in DC. Pours a nice amber/golden with a modest head and lots of lacing. Extremely fresh bottle, smells of pine/grapefruit with a similar taste. Very hoppy with a citrus taste. I plan on buying more. Radek Kliber (3926), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada Oct 12, 2009 Bottle 650 ml
Appearance: pours as neat shade of amber with hints of copper , mid beige top. Little lace shown. 3+ Nose: pleasant nose. Sweet caramel, malty base with fresh citric wide spread of hop aromas.7+ Flavor/Palate : Sharp , bold , resetting , thick caramel with green citric hops. Big yet not overpowering. Refreshing and fairly drinkable. Strange choice of hops for such beer. I would go for pine-spruce.
sjmiller05 (12), Colorado, USA Oct 10, 2009 Very nice. Hints of orange pine aroma. Thick watery head that dies out quick. Taste is hopalicious with a nice long after taste of orange -- delightful. Speedle (262), Mid-Atlantic (Tour 2007-2008), Virginia, USA Oct 10, 2009 golden orange with a big watery head ..... awesome sweet orange hop aroma .... smooth refreshing start ... medium bodied ... clean sharp hop finish .... nice lingering rind aftertaste .... awesome beer 1more4dessert (231), Upstate, New York, USA Oct 9, 2009 this is a unique beer, aroma is peppery grass, like cut arugula, also has the Lagunitas house candied dry mango aroma. Very clear and light gold for such a big beer. The pure white tight head fades quickly but can be easily resurrected with a few swirls. Simultaneously bitter and sweet in notes which are easily separated almost as if on different scales. Normally a new beer in a favorite style like this reminds me of another - not so here BelgianBeerGal (1276), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Oct 8, 2009 22oz bottle in Seattle. Well done, well balanced DIPA. This had more grapefruit characteristics that I tend to enjoy. potbeercollege (254), Boulder, Colorado, USA Oct 8, 2009 Bomber. Clear golden color with frothy head that thinned. Huge aroma of sweet citrus hops, slightly floral, notes of grapefruit. Very grassy and citrusy tastes in a hoped out brew. Lingering bitter finish. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Oct 6, 2009 Bottle split with BIG TONY. Aroma is nice pine hop, almost weed smell. Taste is pine hop, nice bitterness.
