dantheman278 (1338) - SCOTLAND - JAN 19, 2012
Bottle at home. Dark orange amber, thick white head fades to nothing. Big floral citrus nose, hint of orange. Palate is hop-forward, juicy pithy grapefruit with a hint of sweet malts. Big bitter finish. Nice.

esp0r (1324) - NORWAY - MAR 5, 2011
Bottle ordered from Vinmonopolets bestillingsutvalg. Copper hazy with a thin white head. Smells of honey, flowers, hops, grass, citrus and grapefruits. Wow! Taste has much sweetness with grapefruits. Feel is a bit oily, Finish has awsome bitterness and feels grassy. Too bad they stop producing this good beer.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2012 Bottle. Almost clear, amber liquid with big bubble, off-white head. Aroma of grass, passionfruit, citrus, pineapple and caramel malt. Taste is light sweet, quite dry and medium bitter. Really fruity. Medium bodied with nice carbonation.

teorn88 (1222) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 5, 2011
On tap. Pours orange with medium off white bubbly head. Foam dissipates quickly. Good lacing. Aroma is stunning: huge hoppy lemony and spicy notes are sorrounded by a good amount of malty sweetness. Lots of yeasty and malty notes, with hints of toffee. Taste is great: lots of complexity with a piney, citrusy bitterness softened by a sweet sensation. Lots of grassy-resiny flavors. Body is full with medium carbonation. Overall, a great DIPA.
