Can in Hotel Room, Brooklyn. Clear amber - white head. High hoppy, grassy, resin, hashish, citrus, light malty sweetness, nice bitterness, piney, high bitterness, oiley hops, fruity, toasted, nice bitter hoppy finish.

Pours a rich honey color with off-white head. Smells pleasantly hoppy, wit nice floral and pine aromas coming through quite clearly. Medium body that gives some respectable heft to this 8% beer. Tastes great: sticky, resiny hop profile, some decent malt underneath, but the hops are the star of this production. Finishes with assertive bitterness. Seems a little unbalanced to be truly great, but this is a solid beer in every sense.

Draught from habitat. Poured a sorta cloudy amber. Concentric lacing. Floral aroma. Piney sappy taste. Very good

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2012 Attaque massive des conifères, extrêmement résineux et fruité en arôme. C’est une des entrées les plus excitantes possible pour une IPA. Oskar blues semble avoir pondu un autre classique. En bouche c’est les oranges, mangues, agrumes, pins dans un corps collant et sucré. L’amertume est percutante et est à la hauteur de l’immensité des saveurs.

Canned, orange amber with no head, garlicky, bitter with nice balance of malts, finish is smooth bitter also

Pours a nice golden orangish/amber. Little head. Aromas of malt, citrus, hops and hops and hops, pine and a touch of alcohol. Initial taste is sweet, malty with a nice hoppy finish. Slightly spicy hops finish it out. Has a nice fruity backbone along with the piney, citrusy bitterness. Definitely not a one dimensional beer and surprising solid coming from a can. These guys definitely know how to make a tasty brew.

Aroma- big malts, hops, floral aromas, herbs Appearance- brownish-red, intense lacing, nice head Taste- just a hop implosion, crazy malts, not much else Palate- medium-body, viscous mouthfeel Overall- Probably the hoppiest/maltiest brew that I’ve ever had. Very one dimensional and almost sickening after the first 6 ounces to be honest.

Can. Pours a clear copper and orange color with a half-inch or so of off-white foam. Lots of sweet and dank cannabis, pineapple, grapefruit and hops resin fragrances in the aroma. The flavor begins with an onslaught of vegetal, resiny hops bitterness and citrus rind along with some tropical fruit, lemon and pine. Also a very subtle caramel malt presence in the background. Mouthfeel is mildly creamy with adequate carbonation and a wickedly bitter and boozy palate scorching finish. Excessively hoppy and over the top in a good way.

Damn...this is a great beer! Aroma crossed the eyes with bitter grapefruit, orange peel, evergreen, and ganja. Dark copper/24 karat pour that creates a 1/2 inch tightly packed ivory head. Like chewing on a hop cone...leafy, green, bright citrus, and marijuana. Light honey/caramel backbone. Amazingly sticky mouthfeel...this one sticks around with you.

On tap at Gilly's Craft Beer & Fine Wine in Rockville, MD. Murky haze but nearly clear. Dusty dark orange color. Small head that quickly settled to a thin creamy film with excellent lacing. Heavy hops aroma of citrus and pine. Mix of tangerine and grapefruit. Bitter, hoppy flavor of grapefruit, orange, pine and resin. Some malt flavor creeps through when the tart hops give it a chance. Medium full creamy mouthfeel with significant carbonation. Nothing subtle about this hop bomb. Not for everyone or everyday, but I'm loving it today. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
