tarheels86 (704), Washington DC, USA Oct 7, 2009 22 oz bomber. Pours a cloudy, light amber with a massive, four-finger, white head that has stupid awesome retention and leaves swathes of poofy lacing. Really is one of the most beautiful beers I’ve ever seen. Aroma is massive: spicy hops, pineapple, fresh ruby red grapefruit, white pepper, and a beautiful note of butterscotch rum. Taste is massively dry and bitter- wow- huge dryness from beginning to end with massive resinous, piney hops and white pepper. Dry finish. Reminds me a lot of a Chouffe Tripel IPA or a super-hoppy saison. Gets a bit soapy after awhile though. But really awesome. greenhorn1 (458), Mission Viejo, California, USA Oct 4, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours copper with a thick head. Aroma of big hops, pine, and citrus. Flavor is similiar, big citrus punch, and a nice bitter palate. It is extremely easy to drink. A very good representive of a West Coast IPA. stobbe74 (655), Denmark Oct 1, 2009 Bottle, 22 fl. oz. Pours a clear golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is hops. The flavor is hops and peach. The palate is bitter and overall the beer has a good balance. playitbybeer (48), San Diego, California, USA Sep 26, 2009 Pours an amber color with a white head that turns into a trim around the edge. Hoppitty hops, really floral, formidable scent, stings the nostrils. Taste isn’t as hoppy as it smells, it is bitter, and leaves a bitter after-taste but it starts sweet with a hint of vanilla. Not a big fan of IPAs but this is pretty tasty. tennessejed420 (69), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 23, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a yellow gold with decent white head. Strong aroma of floral and citrus hops. Taste is exquisite, this is a beer for hop heads. Grapefruit, tastes like G-13 (for any smokers out there). Highly recommended. vtafro (452), , New Jersey, USA Sep 21, 2009 Tap @ Hulmeville Inn. Nice IPA, Golden orange pour with some white head. Hop bomb, lots of citrus hoppy notes, Spices, grapefruits, pineapple, etc. Nice job even brought home a growler. Nena (120), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 21, 2009 Updated: Oct 6, 2009Orange with a medium white head. Aroma is citrus rind and some floral notes. Flavor starts out mildly toasty and moves to a powerfully bitter, resinous finish that is not at all offputting. The hoppy flavor in this has a lot of complexity within the bite. A strong, easily drinkable IPA. patrickfannon (273), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours murky orange/honey, almost opaque, with a nice strong off-white head. Aroma of wheat, hops, and subtle hints of citrus. Rather firm body for an IPA, with a strong finish. Bit of a bitter aftertaste. Excellent IPA.
