Pours a nice hazy golden-orange color with a thick and fluffy yellow-tinted head. Aroma of fresh grapefruit, pine cones, sweet sugary malts, and a sweet citrus fruitiness. Flavors were hugely malty to start with, but quickly gave way to the fresh, spicy, piney hops. A really interesting and unique combination of hops in here... intense, earthy, a bit smoky, some bitter citrus/grapefruit rind, really nice complex realm of tastiness. Mouthfeel was pretty slick and syrupy, but that was cut short by the sharp astringent bitterness of the hops. Overall a great beer.

Aug 20, 2008 Murky copper with little head. Grapefruit, hops, pine sap, and citrus on the nose. Flavor is smooth with definite malt and sticky resinous qualities. Nice palate. Remarkable brew.

Aug 18, 2008 Pours hazy peach with one finger head that leaves a nice thick lacing. Aroma is flowery, citrusy, sweet and resinous with every hop angle covered- from grapefruit to pine. Flavor is much more mild mannered than expected- very resinous with grassy, fruity, and flowery hop character. Sweet malt character provides excellent balance. Palate is sticky and smooth with a dry finish. One of my favorites of the style.

Aug 18, 2008 A wonderful treat that helps celebrate the end of a work week. Caramel custard, piney and citrus hops. Possibly my favorite beer, trying this beer could change peoples entire perception on 100 IBU beers.
