Bottle. Burnt orange pour with a foamy white head. Eucalyptus aromas. Loaded with medicinal / herbal hop notes. Very nice mouthfeel with a good body. Just enough malt to keep the huge hop notes from overpowering the senses.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 wedgie9 (1590) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - MAY 8, 2013
UPDATED: MAY 11, 2013 Bottled on 2/28/13
Tasted on 5/8/13 from a capped bomber bottle purchased at Sun Devil. Pours hazy light orange with a very thick white head that slowly recedes, leaving thick lace. The nose is floral with plenty of lemon oil citrus, and light bread malt. The flavor is nice and light up front, moving to the very bitter citrus and floral hops, and just a hint of malt flavor. The body is medium with average-lively carbonation and a very long bitter hops finish.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Lukaduke (1004) - Portland, Maine, USA - MAY 7, 2013
Draft at Armsby Abbey. Pours a deep golden color with a two finger white foam. The nose is full of citrus and pine notes that mingle with a touch of caramel malt sweetness. The palate is clean and hop forward. Nice fruity citrus notes lead into a sappy pine mid palate that bitters out into a lingering finish that dries out nicely.

Pours a gorgeous hazy orange-amber color with a thick head that is slow to dissipate. Smells citrusy with plentiful, yet balanced, hop aroma. Very balanced taste providing the punch of an IPA while still amazingly refreshing with the citrus notes for a hot summer day. One of the best IPA’s I have had.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 espenra (764) - Kurland, NORWAY - MAY 7, 2013
65.5cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. No date info found. Hazy orange colour with a big white creamy head. No carbonation. Aroma is very hoppy. Lots of tropical fruits, citrus and some faint hints of pine. Flavour is bitter. Lots of hops, tropical fruits, citrus and pine. Malts are more noticable than from the aroma. A classic west coast IPA. Very nice.

Bottle. This just struck me as a watered down version of the Mongo IPA, which I also did not enjoy. See: my poor review of Mongo. Just add water.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 pablo951 (139) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 2, 2013
Had it out of a bomber, poured a hazy orange hue, with a frothy head and uneven lacing, and a hop sour aroma. The taste is a smooth cascade hop delight with a smoother finish.
