rane (493), Nibe, Denmark May 6, 2008 Bottle. Amber with pale brown medium head. Aroma hoppy with fresh citrus notes. Taste malty at first and then very hoppy. Very bitter finish. I think the hops gets too much and the beer is a little onedimensional, hopps and not much else. ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA May 4, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, ambery body with a smallish, white head.
Smell: Standard pale maltiness and full notes of raw grass, grapefruit pith, and more grass.
Taste: Basic pale malts, though not much in the way of sweetness. Big hit of citric pith and weedy grassiness. Medium-high bitterness. Ends with a finish full of bitterness. Hmm.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Plenty hoppy in terms of bitterness with little flavor and maltiness to support it. Not exactly what I’d call a thirst quencher. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA May 4, 2008 Amber color, moderate head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is spicy hops with some grapefruit and citrus. Medium bodied, high bitterness for the style. Big citric, spicy hop kick. mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA May 4, 2008 Pours a glowing orange, with a small swirly off white head. Smells of big orange citrus, some grapefruit hops, and a light malty presence. The flavor is a nice balance of hops and grassy notes. The malt presence isnt as profound in the flavor. The citrus fruit really comes out in the finish along with a nice blend of hops. Pretty refreshing brew, a nice drinking APA from a solid brewery. ATLBeerDog (280), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 3, 2008 Pours very orange red with a small head, and average lacing. Average carbonation with a sweet smell of heavy crisp hops. Tastes very hoppy like a DIPA. Light on the pallet, this beer needs a maltier backbone. Not bad- not great but I would rather have a strong DIPA instead. shp555 (1677), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 3, 2008 Pours a hazy copper color with a white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, and juicy citrus hops. Flavor is biscuit, toasty, malty, and a bitter citrus hop finish. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA May 3, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a lightly hazy amber body with a tall fluffy off-white head with good retention. Aroma of herb, floral, citrus, and caramel. Flavor of hops (herbal, floral, pine) and caramel malt with a moderately bitter finish. Notable increase in bitterness as it reached room temperature. NosirIwont (1162), Aalborg Vestby, Denmark May 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a golden amber with an off-white head. Nice lacing. Sweet and fresh, citrus and flowery hop aroma. Very nice. Flavour is practically the same. Chewy, liquorice bitter hops in the finish. A bit too much carbonation. A very nice beer. 02-05-08.
