12oz. bottle - pours lightly cloudy amber with a small head. Aroma is quite mild but heavy on the cascades - citrusy grapefruit from the dry-hopping. Quite faint otherwise, but you can sense the malt background. Flavour is less hoppy, kind of mild and thin actually, with caramel malt making up the rest of the body. Sweet. Bitterness comes forth in the finish and especially the aftertaste. Fairly simple beer, not very interesting or distinct. The label is nice for sure.

2008 Flour City Brew fest. Sweet malt aroma with a nice light hop bitterness. Copper in appearance. Medium palate. Light malt flavor with a decent hop presence. Easy to drink and well balanced.

It was nearly impossible to drink this beer because of its intense carbonation. It was so carbonated it nearly exploded upon opening.The colour was a hazey orange with an indescribable white monster head. Not overly hoppy, but wicked fruity, and very lively mouthfeel. great, well hopped-but balanced.

I had this out of the bottle - it poured amber with a large tan head that lasted the entire glass. Smells of hops as well as the taste but not as nice as say the 90 minute. The palate is disappointing as it is very light like water. Overall a good beer but I have had better.

A very refreshing hoppy beer (as the name would imply). However, instead of being entirely unbalanced, this beer has a nice malt aftertaste which compliments. Overall one of the better hoppy beers that I’ve had.

Bottle thanks Reed_944. Tasty hop aroma, The taste is hoppy but there is a definite malt aftertaste. This is a pretty tasty beer that I would buy again. Not as hoppy as I expected but good
