Sep 30, 2009 GABF 2009, Medium yellow/orange pour. Notes of leafy weedy hops, Hop dominated, slight hop harshness, perhaps a hint of malts are needed to cut that, OTW a pretty good IPA

Sep 27, 2009 Not a lot of hops in the aroma. Good appearance. Flavor is a quite spicy hop. A good flavor from start to finish and a solid IPA.

Sep 21, 2009 Gift from Donfardz64 - What a pal :)
Pours a nice amber with a large rocky head that turns sticky and fluffy. Smells Awesome - Piny, resiny, grassy hops and lots of them. Very much like grapefruit and lemon. A nice caramel malt base, but slightly obscured by the big hops.
The first mouthful is dominated by a big hop bitterness, which coats the mouth and lasts with a hint of spice. The bitterness is overpowering at first but as your palate adjusts the flavours come through much stronger. The malt then comes through, which is sweet and helps balance the hops. Nice bitter finish with lasting pineapple and passionfruit esters mingling with citrus hops.

Sep 20, 2009 Tasted 02/09/2009. 22oz bottle, a special piece of luggage on my post-BrewNZ holiday to Marcoola, QLD, AUS. Hazy gold, lingering head. Great pale malt character carries a lovely hop flavour of grapefruit and lemon. Awesome lingering bitterness that begs you for another sip but never overwhelms. This beer does indeed dominate the palate, making it one of the few IPAs that lives up to its name.

Sep 17, 2009 draft in Seattle. Nice hop-oriented brew, not brutally bitter but enough so it’s not sweet. Pale malt background and no alcohol heat, grassy hops and mostly dry finish.

Sep 12, 2009 Very hoppy. The name reminds me of Stone’s Ruination IPA. They both try to be as hoppy as possible. The appearance is cloudy and light.

Sep 11, 2009 22oz bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a beautiful medium orange color with a fluffy off white head that left great lacing. Nose held some resin, Nose did not stay as potent after 5 minutes as it did at first, faint citrus and some herbal notes. Picked up much more in the flavor, lots of citrus and a low-medium level of malt balance. Finished with quite assertive hop bitterness.
