I could sit around and smell this beer for weeks as the aroma is amazing, very floral hop aroma. Stong bitterness and the ABV is hidden extremely well. This is a must try if you like to taste hops! fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 1, 2007 Draft @ Pizza Port - Carlsbad. Pours a bright orange color; light tan head with excellent, fine-bubbled lacing. Crazy intense hop aroma: tons of grassy and piney / citrus hops with a bit of grapefruit tartness; generous nose that you can catch from across the table. Huge, biting hoppiness from the beginning: one of the most intense hop experiences I’ve ever had: tongue-numbing grassy and grapefruit hops with a resiny, wet-hop character that is just fantastic; if there’s a malt core in here, you can barely find it behind the hops; appears at most as a dustiness; just an excellent beer. Lengthy, bitter grapefruit hop and earthy finish.
