Oct 14, 2004 Updated: Nov 28, 2004(Cask Draft: O’Brien’s in San Diego, CA) Wow, what an aroma! Massive hops smells like fresh, tart passion fruit, and I love passion fruit, so 10 on aroma! And man, this goes down easy. Starts off fruity and hoppy, nicely balanced, then ends in strong grapefruit. Very smooth on the palate, and medium bodied. Golden in color and fairly cloudy. Off-white head is large and puffy. Excellent retention. Lots of random lacing. (27-Sep-04)
(Draft: Wet Hop Beer Festival, O’Brien’s in San Diego, CA) My first rating for this beer was on cask, but this was on regular draft, and it’s not as good, though still one of the best beers in this Wet Hop Festival. The flavor is strong, fresh hops that impart a moderate bitterness with lots of grapefruit. It’s also subtly malty and mildly sweet, but the malt provides a solid base for the hops. Strong hops nose is very fresh and somewhat sweet. Medium bodied, very clean, crisp and refreshing on the palate. Light gold color. Off-white head is smallish and bubbly, leaving a fairly dense blanket of lace. Ratings are for when I had this beer on cask. (20-Nov-04)

Sep 28, 2004 This brew poours with a cloudy pale golden body topped by a thick head with lots of lacing. The hoppy aroma is slightly sweet and grapefruity with a nice apricot note...a very nice aroma. The flavor is sweet yet tangy and citrusy with a nice malt note and a touch of bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, very smooth and a touch dry.

Sep 22, 2005 Draft, Amber beer with a creamy off-white head. Nice citrus aroma with some pine. Pine resin and citrus flavors that coat your mouth. Grapefruit with a bit of sweetness. Very hoppy and the bitterness lingers with the fruitiness. Very nice.
