Bov (5403), Bienne, Switzerland Jul 25, 2009 from crackedkettle.com - hazy amber-golden with a persistent slightly beige foam; pine needles and resiney with some fruits in the background; solidly hoppy, quite low carbonation, rounded palate and slightly oily; long and very bitter hoppy finish, flowery and piney - solid but never excessive Hopcrazy (27), Washington, USA Jul 22, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy copper color with a thin head and thin lacing. Aroma is mildly hoppy and citrussy. Lots of citrus on the tongue and finished clean and light, maybe even a just a bit watery. Really nice IPA. mansquito (819), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Jul 22, 2009 On tap: Pours a very cloudy light orange color. Looks thick like the other guy said. The bar poured the beer with too little head for my to makes heads or tails out of it except for the lacing. Powerful citrus aroma, along with pine and yeast. Taste is rather good and well-balanced. Heavy on the hops, but not excessive. Caramel malts fill in the background of the taste along with a powerful array of fruity flavours. beerchugger (285), Colorado, USA Jul 22, 2009 Pours a very hazy orange color with what I presume to be yeast floating about. A very thick, two finger white fluffy had forms and leaves sheets of lacing on the glass. The aroma was huge and wonderful! Smells of some citrusy grapefruit, a bit of earthy pine, and even a bit of bitternesscan be detected. The flavor is rather powerful, yet enjoyably so. The strong hop character carries all the way through with the grapefruit and most notably the pine. The rich deep caramel malts can really be tasted as well giving this beer a nice backbone to work from. porterhouse (1148), Alna, Maine, USA Jul 22, 2009 (Draft @ Union Brewhouse) Big and hoppy...Pours very cloudy light yellow-amber. Maybe the cloudiest beer I’ve ever seen. One finger of lightly amber off-white head. Big, hoppy aroma of grapefruit and pine. Dense sheets of lacing hold fast to the shaker. Mouthfeel a bit pebbly, medium-heft. Tastes sweet and hoppy, lots of grapefruit and pine over some caramel maltiness. So hoppy it seems like a big IPA. Skeegle (476), Maryland, USA Jul 17, 2009 Great IPA thats extremely hoppy and has a nice balance of citrus and pine. I’d say it’s about 75% citrus, all citrus aroma, and 25% pine. But the pine is much stronger so it balances into a hop juicy, orangy, grapefruit flavored thick IPA that hits on all parts of the tongue. A bit sweet, but not too dry, and it’s extremely bitter and pungent with a wonderful flavor. BeerGestapo (725), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 16, 2009 Brewed in the USA..... Courtesy of Woody, thanks friend. Pours a hazy amber color with an absolutely wonderful foamy white head. Aroma of pine, citrus and caramel. Taste of hops, grapefruit, spices and malts. The mouthfeel is medium in body with a crisp zesty finish. This would be a fantastic brew to drink in the heat of summer. :) beerfest5 (128), Simsbury, Connecticut, USA Jul 14, 2009 Great IPA in the southern cali style. Most IPA’s Ive really liked have come from this area or at least a variation of this area. Nice hoppy flavor with a great smooth finish.
