Oscbert (531), Sacramento, California, USA Apr 13, 2009 ~Cloudy orange amber with quickly diminishing white head.
~Citrus grapefruit scent with hefty amount of malts. Smells almost like lipton ice tea in a good way.
~Starts super sweet and quickly turns bitter. The transition from sweet to bitter is really enjoyable.
~Medium feel. Lasting bitter finish.
~Good DIPA! Gypsy19 (602), California, USA Apr 12, 2009 Pours orange-amber with a controllable head. Hoppy, grapefruit aroma and also some tea aroma. Flavor is bold, very hoppy with an odd sweet tea flavor before the predictable bitter finish. Palate is spritzy, nice. Overall, good to very good. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Feb 17, 2009 Bottle. Love their hops. Pours an amber body with an off white head. A thin malt bill in comparison to the massive floral bouquet, and fruity pine and citric acids. Moderate alcohol warming well masked by the sheer hoppiness of this one. good brew. glkaiser (1150), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 3, 2009 Clear dark golden w/ medium head. Clear citrus hops with just a touch of sugary sweetenss. Overall pretty smooth and very drinkable for the ABV. Can taste the alcohol, but not overwhelming. Well done. Not sure why, but I didn’t expect much from this one and was pleasantly surprised. KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark Dec 25, 2008 Clear deep golden with medium off white head. Hoppy aroma with grapefruit and pine notes. Hoppy flavour with grapefruit, pine and caramel notes. Also some toasted malt. mrhoppy (209), Santa Clara, California, USA Dec 18, 2008 Beautiful billowy creamy head with excellent lace. Perfect clear dark orange color. Aroma is hoppy bitter piney lollipop a tinge of Belgium. Flavor light toast strong resinous hop syrup good body and balance not very sweet. Warming alcohol. Excellent feel and finish coating your mouth with aromas going back to your nose as you breath. Grade A IPA. hayduke (1620), Eureka, California, USA Oct 7, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a rich copper color with a good sized off-white head and good lacing. Nose is of citrus and pine hops with caramel malts. Creamy mouthfeel. Favor is quite bitter and is of grapefruit and the finish is long and bitter. Overall pretty good. marcus (1826), Sacramento, California, USA Oct 1, 2008 This copper ale poured with a thick beige head and a floral aroma. It’s very hoppy with lots of citrus and pine lending a familiar northwest hophead aura. There is also a tasty caramel malt base that leaves a thick finish on one’s palate.
