Impression: Aroma is overwhelming and richly hoppy. Beautiful yellowy head is bulbous and frothy atop a deep amber, deep red, almost sunburst body. Very clear. Good lacing. Carbonation is visible, threaded, present. Pine scent is thick. Taste does not disappoint. Oily texture and muted dry finish are wonderful. The flavors include the piney, citrusy hops. A syrupy depth, a bit cloying. Well balanced between alcohol, sweetness, hoppiness, and maltiness. More toasted than roasted. What an amazing beer.

Bit sweet and very hoppy and citrus aroma. Great mouthfeel. The flavour has a mild sweetness with lots of hops, pine, citrus and a very pleasant bitterness. Dry bitter and hoppy long lasting finish.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a sunset orangish red color with a nice, big, off white head.
S- Smells very hoppy with a deep bready malt backbone.
T- Taste is much less hoppy than expected, bready malt character all the way through, fairly mild with a nice hop bitterness at the end.
M- About medium viscosity, carbonation a little on the light side.
D- Not extremely stand out, but such a well balanced DIPA it’s hard not to like it.

Aroma is filled with a ton of hops with some citrus and pine thrown in. Flavor of hops, citrus, honey, and more hops. Very nice balance with a touch of sweetness from the malt and a mildy bitter finish. Very smooth and drinkable. This one could catch up with you quickly as you can’t detect the 8.7% cheeta (899), Langå, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Heavy hoppy aroma. Large, frothy, off-white head. Good lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear brown body. Moderate bitter initial flavor with a long finish duration. Medium palate. desurfer (1067), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a rich, hazy reddish-amber with a rocky beige head. Aroma is ridiculously hoppy and sweet. Flavor is a veritable explosion of flowery, citrusy hops. Notes of pine and pepper as well. The malts are very earthy and rich. It’s a hophead dream come true, when so many others fall short. Truly amazing.
