scottmc (167), Lakewood, Colorado, USA Jul 6, 2007 A great hoppy beer that has one the best aromas I have ever smelled. The hopping method makes a huge difference. The heavy body is nice with a tan and white head. Bigsilky (224), North Carolina, USA Jan 20, 2006 Fresh, Fresh, Fresh Fresh!!!!! wow, color is perfect, aroma is out of this world, and the flavor..... Fresh peaches, grapefruit, and clemetine jump right out of the glass. Just a spectacular brew, damn shame its only once a year. Do yourself a favor buy big, and don’t age this guy. nuplastikk (381), Maryland, USA Mar 16, 2008 22oz bomber. WOW. Ok, i admit it, I’m a sucker for Fresh Hop beers. Every single one (5 or so?) have been fantastic. This one is quite impressive. Big, biscuity malt profile that serves as the perfect base for the all out earthy hop profile. Orange caramel color. Sweet, mellow aroma. A great beer for a refined hophead. Falconseye8 (522), Cartersville, Georgia, USA Jul 18, 2005 Everything from this company has been great. I hope this is no exception. Big head great sweet tea flavoring. Excellent IPA!!! There is Tea and Sweet Tea, those of you who don’t get this never mind. Sweet tea initial flavoring. Another great Left hand beer!!! 40th beer for me from colorado. Don’t care much for the sport teams from this state but I really like the beer they make!!! I’m overrating this because it deserves a better score for its category. Excellent IPA. DocLock (4047), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 10, 2005 A huge thanks to matta for this. I may be biased in favor of IPAs and IIPAs, but come on people! Let’s show this beer some love! Slightly cloudy copper/orange pour, with a huge, creamy off-white head. Aroma of big hops, grapefruit, malt, resin, and ground black pepper. Tastes very hoppy, with a semi-sweet malty mid palate followed by a blast of resiny hop astringence. I love it. Super smooth, velvety and hoppy on the palate. This one reminds me of some IIPAs such as Marin White Knuckle and the excellent Great Divide Hercules and Titan duo, although not quite as "in your face dense and hoppy". If you love IPAs, you’ll love this one. Yeah man!
