Sampled at Lupulin Slam III. For me, this was the best hop bomb of the night. Clear amber with a medium off-white head. The aroma was full-on pine grapefruit hop explosion, just marvelous. Flavor of intense, violent levels of pine, grapefruit, citrus, wood, toffee and caramel. Just oozing with Pacific NW hop goodness. Slight touch of alcohol in the finish. Pleasant malt sweetness, plenty of hop bitterness as you would expect. Full and round with medium creaminess on the palate; moderate carbonation. Just a beautiful beer. I would kill to get a bottle of this.

On tap at the Falling Rock. Hazy gold-amber pour...this thing has hop fumes running over the rim of the glass. Big citrusy hop nose..one of the biggest I can remember. Even more of the same in the flavor...some decent malt backup..wow, very tasty. Medium to full bodied..great mouthfeel. Resiny bitterness lingers to the end. I could use a glass of this stuff right now for breakfast.

GABF 2006. Best IIPA of the fest and I drank a bunch of ’em. Just the perfect balance of pine, citrus, and grass in the flavor and aroma. Awesome.

EBF ’05. A real citrus bomb. Gold color with a small head. Although the grapefruit/tangerine zest hits you first, there is a nice sweetness that tries to balance it out. A pure West Coast classic IIPA.

On tap at Mountain Sun durring their Hop Harvest Month. Ok, I know this is a high rating but damn is this a good very complex beer. The flavors that come through at this ABV was amazing to me. It had hop aroma that knoked my socks off, the flavor had citrus and pine notes, and followed up with a wallop of bitterness that must have taken a trailer load of high alpha acid hops to produce. I wish I had taken home a growler of this one.
