LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 28, 2008 A delicious and superb IPA. This brewer makes me wish I lived on the west coast. Those hoppy beers over there are so much better than we produce on the east coast. The aroma was perfect. As soon as I cracked the bottle, a huge green wave of hops hit me. Very piney and resiny with alomost a marijuana-ness to it. Pour was a nice light gold with a one finger white head. Taste was all planty hops with a drying bitter aftertaste.

Lots of fruit and citric hops in aroma with a nice malty backbone. Flavour is exotic fruits, citrus, frsh hops with a long bitter finish. Creamy moderate carbonated body. Travlr (700), Washington, Washington DC, USA Dec 27, 2008 The next best thing to rolling in a giant pile of very freshly harvested hops. Flowery, earthy, bitter and pleasant. Nice one. hallinghansen (263), Odense SV, Denmark Dec 27, 2008 Bottle. Shared with Plovmand. Hazy golden body with a small white head. Aroma is fruit, citrus and lots of hops.
