Mar 25, 2009 Bottle. Distinct hops aroma mixed with flowers and grass. Really stimulating the olfactory nerves. Golden amber colour with high white head. Hops and flowers in flavour, but not very bitter, although the aftertaste is dry and bitter.

Mar 7, 2009 Bottle. Golden beer with a strong white head. The aroma is gently hopped, and the flavour is very, very well hopped and extremely dry. Overall quite a thirst quencher but one dimensional - it is very dry.

Feb 19, 2009 Bottle. A nice IPA. Lots of bitter floral hop flavours. Some grapefruit and piney characters, with some light caramelly malt notes. Quite bitter in the finish.

Feb 19, 2009 Bomber thanks to doubleo. Pours hazy golden orange with white head. Aroma is citrusy and floral hops with orange and grapefruit with some caramel notes. Flavor is citrusy with tropical fruits, hops and more citrus. Palate is light and citrusy which you expect from a fresh hopped ale. Could use some more hops to give it more umph. Nice balance but not as good as Hop 15 and the 2nd anniversary.

Feb 18, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours yellow amber, topped with a small off-white head. Grapefruity hop aroma predominates, with citrus, tropical fruit and caramel. Flavor is mainly earthy hops, with citrus coming through towards the finish. Resinous hops persist on the palate for a lengthy finish.

Feb 16, 2009 Bottle from FlacoAlto, thanks! Orange blonde color. Melon and pineapple in the aroma. Initial malt and fruit (melon, citrus, pineapple) coincide well with a firm grassy and flowery hopbitterness. Melon in the aftertaste, with some oily hops. Very well balanced mix of fruit and hops. Very good!

Feb 8, 2009 Attractive, thick head with good retention and decorative lacing. Balanced aroma with some sweet and spicy. Spicy on the nose and mouth. Medium carbonation and weight. I prefer Wipeout but would choose this one over the Hop 15. Just depends on ones preferences/expectations I suppose.
