22oz bomber. Pours a very clear copper color with a two fingers of white head. Aroma of big tropical and citrus fruits, some peach, resiny hops, and pine. Very hop forward. Taste is pine, citrus, grapefruit, resin, and caramel malt. What a delicious beer at a great price!

Bottled. Dark golden with a tall, fluffy white head. Aroma is moderately strong pine resin with a little light black pepper and sweet graham cracker at the end. Flavor is moderately bitter, notes of leather and orange zest with a sweet peach send off. Slightly sticky mouthfeel with a dry finish. Really tasty and refreshing, and not an overwhelming hop bomb.

Poured from bomber. Clear orangish gold with 1 finger off white head. Aroma is serious hops - pine, guava, some grapefruit. Hops dominate the taste profile, mostly bitter fruit. Definitely some breadiness to the taste, but really not much sign of malt sweetness. Getting a lot of resin as well. Aftertaste is a bit astringent. The mouthfeel is moderate with some active carbonation on the glass. Overall, a good beer - I thought it could use some more balance, but pretty sure that’s what they were going for with this one.

Pours clear orange with a 2-finger pillowy white head that lasts. Aroma is floral hop bomb. Taste is hops with a slight malt backbone. Lasting bitter finish. This is one of the best DIPA’s you can find for under $5 a bomber.

Great hop taste and really looks nice in that golden brown color. Wonderful flavor. Nice 8% ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours medium golden, perfectly clear, a finger creamy off white head. Big hops up front on the nose, floral, citrus, pine, bready and toffee round out the aroma. Not overly bitter hops right away, not stringent at all though, grapefruit, floral, pine, bit toffee sweetness mid mouth, bready malt and bitter hops on the finish. Medium body, nice low carbonation, but spicy and ever so slight alcohol warmth. Overall good, not overly bitter, hops do dominate the aroma and flavor profile though. Nice hoppy beer, nice malt bill in the background.

On cask half pint at Max's in Fells Point, Baltimore, MD. Clear, amber with an off-white head and excellent lacing. Aroma of sweet pink grapefruit, citrus, tropical fruit and caramel. Taste of sweet pink grapefruit, citrus, tropical fruit and caramel. Aggressively hop forward, but nicely complemented with sweet and fruity flavors. Medium body and medium/low carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Good beer with a stooopid amount of hops. If you like that sort of thing, as I do from time to time, you’ll dig this.

Hops come to mind upon first taste... the strong Hop character is backed by simple yet flavorful malt. A biscuit or victory malt seems present but obviously the little green guys take the stage. This beer captures the aroma and perceived taste of hops. I love the boil steps when home brewing because of the fresh hop smells.

Fantastic nose. Deeply bitter and hoppy from first sip, which is to be expected based on the name. Unbalanced; piney taste without malty undertone. Lingering taste. Very good but not excellent.
